Summary: Versatile little phone for very cheap.
Review: I've had this phone for about 7 months now. I got the phone practically for free ($19.99) by ordering at TMobile's site and signing up for a year plan @ 39.99 for 1000 minutes, Nights and weekends free! I couldnt get a better deal because I dont believe in rebates as I never got one back in the mail :(.

For the price, (Very important that one weight what you get for the amount paid), feature wise this phone is fantastic.

(+) mulitple alarms (Morning Call, Daily and Once Alarm) all of which can power on the phone if it is turned off when the event occurs,
(+)To do List
(+)a calendar (with Alarms).
(+)It is a dual band phone 900/1900 which is great because it'll work in the caribbean when I go down (most islands use 900 GSM band).
(+)You can send MMS and SMS messages without a problem though phone does not take pictures.
(+)Fantastic no scratch LCD screen. Very sharp and colors are bright and vibrant under most light conditions. No scratch is essential for a non fliptop phone.
(+)Keys light up when phone rings making it easy to find in the dark.
(+) Very cool flashing light indicator that flash red(or green) when you have a new text message or voice mail.
(+) Durable! I have dropped this phone on the pavement many times, voice quality, signal everything has held nice.
(+) OK battery life ... about 3-4 hours talk time, 7 days standyby before batteries drain.
(+) Very good reception -- and no anntena to boot
(+) Very stylish looking... looks better on you than in pictures actually.
(+) Very light and small.
(+) Polyphonic Ringtones.

BUT ...
(-) Phone slips easily out your hand ... or from your pocket onto the floor.
(-) Vibrate could be stronger.
(-) Crappy Ringtones out the box, Luckly you get the TMobile ringtone as a default because the rest just takes up space on the phone. You can download cool ones via the site -- including the Mega Tones that have words and melody.
(-) Vibrate + Melody not as neat as could be. It Vibrates twice and then the volume on your selected melody goes up so slowly that you end up missing the call because you couldnt get it out your pocket in time.
(-) Slow menus -- deleting Text messages can be a slow and painful process.

For the amount of money paid I feel like I got the better end of the deal. I love this phone -- it serves it's purpose which is to keep me in contact with people constantly and help organise my life just a little with its calendar and alarm. I can't comment about web features since I opted out of getting this option on my plan.

Summary: Great little phone
Review: It's very light, it's very loud if you need it to be (it does have the vibrate option as well), it has all the functions you'd ever want, most of the menu items have number shortcuts so you dont always have to scroll through. the only drawback i'd found is that it doesnt have an option of re-dial, but i'm not particularly overwrought about that. I got the phone for free when i signed up for T-mobile and so far the reception had been great pretty much everywhere i'd been.

Summary: Works great does every thing they claim.
Review: Likes: This is a good phone clear delivery and reception.
Nice style and good screen color.
Good tones and easy to work.

Dislike: Only one minor thing you must wait 1.5 minutes
for phone book to initilize when you first turn the unit on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great phone
Review: Not that I have much experience with cell phones, but this is a great phone for somebody who doesn't need all of the glamorous extras that most phones offer. However, some of the neat things that this phone does offer would be four pre-programmed games (and many more downloadable games for as low as 3.99), many pre-programmed rings (and again, tons of megatone rings from hit songs to choose from for .99 cents a ring), and neat wallpapers (and if you don't like the ones that are pre-loaded, download your own!). The sound is great, it has great reception, and many customizable settings to make it truly your own.

Summary: T-Mobile droped calls!! Numbers too small!
Review: Ok,
When I got the phone I liked it beacause of the small size and neat look, after having this phone for only UNDER 2 weeks, I have been very unpleased with the service and phone, right now we (me and t mobile) havent been able to figure out if its the phone thats droping my call or the towers. When someone is calling me the phone will SOMETIMES go to a busy single or stright to voice mail. Then I get a message saying " network bisy " I woukd deffently go with a Nokia 3595 or something other this is phone.

Summary: Slick, small, easy-to-use and reliable phone!
Review: Overall I'm very satisfied with this phone and the service in my area. This phone is very compact and light. The screen has a very neat resolution. I found this phone very easy to use and intuitive. The speaker can be quite loud if necessary and the microphone seems to work well (at least I haven't had any complaints on the other end of the call).

It comes with vibrating alert and silence mode (though I guess this is pretty standard in most phones nowadays) and other standard neat features: ring tones, WAP browser, Java games, AOL messenger capabilities.

The best above all is that you can get this $150 retail value phone for FREE when signing for a year contract (at the time of this writing).

There are only a few complaints I have about this phone: there are confirmation messages after applying some of the phone features which block the phone for about 3-5 seconds, e.g. "Keypad Active" after unlocking the keypad. Additionally when the phone is turned on, it takes about a minute to initialize the phone book, so you can't access your phone list to dial a number during this time.

Having owned a Motorola in the past, I was used to have the send button on the right side of the phone, this phone buttons are positioned the other way around, so it took me a while to get used to it, although I'm not sure which layout is more standard nowadays.

In terms of battery life, I find it reasonable, although I've experienced slightly shorter life than the one it claims to have.
In terms of accessories the phone only comes with the standard wall charger and a hands free headset which also has good audio quality. I recommend getting the leather case from Samsung (you can get a 20% discount if you register your phone with them).

Summary: Great phone!
Review: Overall, I'm very happy with this phone. It's small and lightweight, easy to use, and the color screen is very vibrant. There are a couple of things I don't like, and the biggest thing is the fact that it takes about a minute after the phone is turned on for the phone book to initialize, which means you can't access your phone book AT ALL during that time. Also, it would be nice if the phone came in colors other than blue. I ordered a pink faceplaye off of e-bay, but it looks like it's going to be a real pain to install it.

Summary: t-mobile- a company you want to associate with???
Review: seems like a great phone. Too bad I never got to use it. i had wanted to port my number over from AT&T, so I went first to the t-mobile website to check if that would be possible. You see, they have this great system where you can enter in your number and then they check for you and email you back promptly the next day to tell you if it's possible. They quickly told me that I could port my number and then... much to my surprise, when I went ahead to start the porcess I was told, no, your number won't port after all. Then when I complained, I was told by t-mobile that their number porting website check isn't always accurate and that they can't be held responsible for the content on THEIR OWN WEBSITE!!! nice company. I guess I'll go back to AT&T, WHatever their faults, at least they never lied to me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: cute and functional
Review: The phone is very light weight, small & has no external antenna. Hence it can easily fit in any pocket, without the fear of damaging the antenna. Also, the phone looks much better than what you see in the pictures.

The reception quality and battery life are excellent.

Cons- Navigation is not very intutive and user friendly. Ring volume is low.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good phone good service but i'v already figured it out
Review: The X105 offers great phone quality - many people have commented on how clear I sound. If you use your cell for mostly talking and the phone book options, then you will like this phone. The keypad has a little bit of a delay but it's not a big deal. You can also enter your phone book online and it sends it you - cool!
