It is a nice phone with easy to use features .But one thing I don't understand that even if it is specified that it has 1000 phonebook memory I have 2000 phonebok memory.

An aesthetic problem

Phone owned for

The phone is pretty good for its price range. Neat, sleak and compact. Everything about it feels great EXCEPT the darned service light. What were they thinking?? It completely spoils the aesthetics of the phone. Is it just me or does anyone else here have a problem with that?

very hard to connect to pc

Phone owned for

The Samsung x480 isn't a bad phone but it has some down sides..
I've been always an Ericsson guy (T10, T68, T200, T290i) so i miss this (c)mute button where u can avoid answering back without hanging up !! why didn't Samsung think of this important featuer!!
- The vibration+melody mode is very stupid ..coz it vibrates 3 times before you can hear any sound and the caller hanges up mostly before the 4th ring!!
- one other thing is that u can't use it for sure while driving especially if u r used to keep cellphones in you pocket .. because it's small, has no antenna and curvy u'll find out that it has no grip and u have to use both hands to open the cover and use it.

The guy who chose to embed those awful melodies on the phone has a very bad taste for sure and that's why u need to add as many new ringtones as u can and if using GPRS is costly as the case where i live then u'll discover how hard to connect this phone to a PC to download new ringtons or wallpaper
I've tried 3 different cables all made by Samsung and none of'm worked !!
no way to know if it needs USB cable or a Serial cable to communicate with a PC

other than that .. the phone is good !!!!!!
small, light weight, great screen colors, fast menus, stylish ( maybe in a girly way for a bit)
