I will characterize the phone as trendy. You should have already read the specification and know that they is nothing to brag about. A lot of the features that should be part of any phone are missing - no voice dialing, no speakerphone, no picture ID, no..... What the phone has is style - like the latest Samsung phones. Its case is a mixture of metal and plastic with several stylish polished accents - at the end of the antenna and the front. The build quality is excellent - no squeaks. As seen from the picture the Samsung X426/X427 has s small stub non-retractable antenna. Despite that fact its reception is not as good as of the Nokia 6610 which I reviewed prior to the Samsung.

There are three plugs on the phone and they all are covered with rubberized plugs to protect the inside from dust or moisture. The charging port is located at the bottom, and the headset and the external antenna ports as located on the top and on the back of the phone respectively.

There is a service light at the top right-hand corner of the phone. It flashes when service is available. I think this is a very nifty feature that I miss a lot on my Nokia phones.
