    Samsung promised that the Impression would hit on April 7th – and sure enough, they’re just starting to trickle onto the shelves.

    Besides havin’ a nice, roomy QWERTY keyboard, the main sell here is the 3.2″ AMOLED Touchscreen. It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s the first AMOLED screen in the US. Not sure what AMOLED is? It’s yet another acronym for you to learn, standing for: Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. Here’s a page of information about them. Don’t want to read all that? Just know: OLEDs do not require a backlight, meaning thinner displays, better looking screens, and longer battery life.

    These metallic blue TouchWiz-powered beauties should be hoppin’ off the delivery trucks right this second – if you’re itchin’ for some AMOLED, it’ll set you back $199.99 on a 2-year signer.
