Summary: Great Little Phone
Review: I am not a big cell phone person, and have not owned many myself. However I am used to borrowing peoples' phones and have a definite sense for them.

I bought a Motorola T721 originally, but could not get decent reception in my house. Now, I know I am up against the foothills of the mountains, surrounded by trees, and that my neighbors tend to get bad reception. I was afraid that I simply was not going to be able to enjoy GSM.

Enter the Samsung x426. The reception on the phone is just great. I can get all kinds of bars of signal where people around me do not. The features on the phone are easy to use and make sense to me. The microphone is pretty sensitive, but not nearly as bad as some people with the original versions of this phone. I got mine from the Internet. I was told by a clerk in the AT&T store that every single one of these they had sold had been returned. The store must have gotten a bad batch. If you get a bad batch of these, you will want to exchange. But everyone I call says the voice quality is very clear and easy to listen to.

I love mine.

Summary: GREAT PHONE!
Review: I am used to having a Nokia phone that I didn't have to worry about breaking no matter how many times I dropped it so I was nervous about getting a flip phone. But this phone seems well made and I like that the antenna doesn't look like it will come off easily. The phone is great. It has a nice screen, it has great reception, & it's easy to use. The only reason I didn't give the phone 5 stars is that the ringtones on it are HORRIBLE!!! Also it needs external caller ID. other then that I am very happy with my phone.

Summary: bad bad phone
Review: I bought this phone because of my good experience with a previous Samsung phone (made in 2000). But it turned out that some things I liked about my old phone were removed from a new one. Plus the phone had glitches which required me to take out the battery and put it back to get the phone into the working condition. I later on needed to exchange the phone.
I should admit that the phone looks great.
Also note that the phone doesn't have an external display which prevents you from checking the time easily.

Summary: Stay away from AT & T
Review: I bought this phone from Amazon and signed up for AT & T service. I connected the phone to my laptop and used the internet. I logged into my account and saw no change. I assumed that I had the first month free like I had had with Sprint. I contined to use the internet for two hours and fifteen minutes in TOTAL. The next day I logged in and found I owed AT & T $650.00!!! That's not a typo. Six hundred and fifty US dollars. If I had seen usage reflected in my account I would not have used it for another second! Also watch out for the "M" button in the center of the phone --its very easy to press and not necessarily easy to disable (I immediately disabled it when I got the phone) Don't expect any help from AT&T -- they will only say PAY UP!! They DON'T CARE if you made a mistake or that you misunderstood! Read the FINE PRINT! All I did was download a legal MP3, read my email and a few newspaper headlines. AT & T charges by kilobyte, not mega byte and not by time. So just downloading (very slow) the front page of any newspaper for example might cost you 15 dollars -- I'm guessing because how can you can tell how much you've used/spent? I guess you have to trust that when AT & T says that you owe them $650 or whatever that you do. Computers never make mistakes? Also it seem THE SKY IS THE LIMIT! Who knows, if I did not check my account and continued using the internet to the end of the month I could owe them 6,500 or 65,000 by now! Now to cancel my service, it will cost $200 more! I will cancel and won't return!! Sprint was way better, especially for data use and fewer dropped calls!! What a nightmare. There is a reason AT & T is rated NUMBER ONE for customer complaints!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Keep looking
Review: I don't know if it's AT&T's poor coverage, a bad phone, or both, but the sound quality is marginal at best. Calls get dropped occasionally. You'll love this phone if you like having to repeat yourself over and over again. The only good feature is the screen is big and functions are easy to use. I'm sure there are better phones out there . . . keep looking!

Summary: Great Phone!
Review: I have had my phone for about a week now, and it is great. You get free mmode and ringtones for a month which is great cuz the ringtones on the phone suck lmao. The only bad thing about this is that the microphone is very sensitive and all the background noises cut into to the reception. All Samsungs are like that. Everything else is perfect. The Call Conference is really cool and the graphics are amazing. I definatly would recommend this phone to anyone, especially for the price I paid at the AT&T store ($50.00).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great overall phone....
Review: I have had my phone for nearly two weeks. Its by far the best phone I have ever owned. The reception is really good. It took me about 5 minutes to learn the new display and options. Its probably the next easiest phone to use to the Nokia cell phones. The battery life is exceptional. The phone has made crystal clear calls each and every time. Within the past two weeks I have had two friends go out to get themselves this phone after they fell in love with it. I like the fact that the attenna isn't really flimsy and breakable. This phone is made rather solid for a flip phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone who would like an affordable phone (I got mine for free due to a promotion!) with great functionality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So far a great phone
Review: I just changed from Nokia 3100 (the new tiny phone) to this Samsung x426. This one has much better reception and clearer call quality. I changed phones within the 30 day limit. As mentioned above, there is no external caller ID; however, you can change the function so that you won't automatically answer the phone when you flip it open. The screen is sharp and you can adjust the backlight from super bright to dim. The usability is almost as easy to use as a Nokia (the most user friendly I think). The only quark I'd say is that the Mmode button within the scroll button gets in the way from scrolling up and down sometimes. Besides that a great phone thus far.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice phone!
Review: I just got this phone a week ago and I really like it. It's so light weight compared to the Nokia I used to own. It has nice features, and so far has been very reliable.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Microphone is awful!
Review: I just got this phone as I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and the mic volume is unbearably loud and is unajustable. Though I am not a particually loud person, my voice is garbled and distorted when speaking on this phone, I am going to have to exchange it.
