Good

Phone owned for

Too many people think this is a bad phone. This was the first one i got, and it was great for why i needed it. Granted it doesn't have Bluetooth. The internet is good, it just takes a few seconds to load up. It is a good starter phone.

after awhile this phone sucks

Phone owned for

I had this phone for almost a year and the qualitys were good to begin with but now the speaker phone shuts itself off when it feels like it and disconnects for no apparent reason I've replaced it now 5 times and they are all the same now. I'm replacing this phone with another make and model at this time. I've been very unhappy with the performance of this phone.

awesome phone

Phone owned for

I just barely got this phone today and it is great. The display is great same with the sound quality. One of my favorite parts of this phone is the menu design. Its cool and has cool graphics. In my opinion, samsung makes some of the best cell phones on the planet

The good and the bad

Phone owned for

Bad the exterior display is hard to see. As other reviewes say, easy to accidentally flip to vibrate mode. The good have very large display telephone numbers, good is a simpler phone. Wish will have a feature to beep when there is a missed call or voice mail. (This was a feature in older cell phones which I find very useful) Excellent signal, excellent battery life, excellent in design and size, hard to turn speaker mode on and off. Average speaker quality sound.

side volume selection

Phone owned for

it appears too easy for the side volume to go from full volume to vibrate. There should be a way to disable the vibrate from the side buttons..........

Great improvement over the X427 which it replaces

Phone owned for

Got the phone 2 weeks ago and love it. Volume rocker on the side of the phone is a huge improvement, it also doubles as external display viewing plus instant phone silencing. The sound quality is excellent. Much improved from its replacement the X427. And the speakerphone option is more welcomed to me than having a camera. Excellent addition to the Cingular phone lineup.
