Summary: Very Disappointing Phone and Service
Review: I've had AT&T service since 1998. For Christmas 2003 I purchased two of these phones (originally for my wife, but I had to get one for myself as well) and upgraded my service from digital to gsm. My reception and coverage on the digital plan was stellar, but the reception and coverage of the gsm service is beyond frustrating. I don't know if it's the phone or the service. I suspect a combination of both. Dropped calls, garbled transmissions, and slow connecting has become something I have come to expect since I "upgraded" my service and got this phone.Apart from the connectivity issues, the phone itself is very sleek. Nice ringtones and excellent screen resolution. The only thing it's missing, besides decent reception, is external caller id and a better mic. The over sensitive microphone hasn't been a problem on my phone, but if my wife has her volume turned up she'll sometimes start to distort.

Summary: EXCELLENT PHONE!!!!
Review: I've had this phone for about two weeks now. It is easy to use, has one of the most vivid and colorful screens I've seen and has excellent reception. It looks great, the buttons are very ergonomic and the construction of the phone is very precise and tightly engineered. The screensavers (animated) and polyphonic ringtones are outstanding and you can download many many more to boot. Although this phone doesn't have a built-in camera...who cares? It's a phone, an internet device and that's enough. With this phone tucked in your pocket; you are always connected to anyone you want to talk to and all the information from the internet to keep you informed. I love it!!

Review: It is just sufficient. The ring tones are for adolescents, Samsung should have added at least one tradional sound. It should also have been designed with an external caller ID, it takes time to slide the phone out of the case, flip it open, read the number, then hit accept. I personally found the silver colored buttons with royal blue numbers hard to distinguish from the silver colored background. I miss my old Motorola V60.

Summary: The worst I have ever owned.
Review: It looks great, its light, but you sound like your talking underwater. The clarity is nonexistant. I tried the suggestions of lowering the volume to compensate for the microphone but then you can't hear anyway. I had to jump thru hoops to have A t @ T let me return this. Their "resolution specialist" told me he would exchange the Samsung with another of the same type. When I told him I did not want the same phone, he told me I was not interested in being helped.."thank you for calling A T & T and hung up on me.

Review: Jeong, it might be that Amazon hasn't updated the status of your order yet. A few hours after I received the phone, I got an email from them that they had just shipped the order. Also, I got the phone in exactly one week of placing the order...surprisingly quick. The last time I ordered, it took 2 weeks. Anyways, I'm sure when you placed the order, they gave you an estimated delivery date. So, chill! If you wanted it so urgently that 11 days seem to be too much to wait, you should've ordered with one or two day shipping (if you did, then ignore my comments). As far as the phone is concerned, it's pretty neat. The mic is indeed quite sensitive. So, set the mic level to be the lowest and the other party will still hear you clearly. I'm giving it 4 stars coz I haven't gotten a chance to test all the features yet. And, also, bcoz there is no external display.

If you speak with the mic very close to your mouth, it might become very difficult for the other party to understand what you are saying. Other than that, this phone is simply awesome.

Summary: Great phone
Review: Light, sleek, small. Option to block caller ID. One button silent mode. Calling groups with specific pictures and ringtones. No external display, but option to not answer when opening. The vibrate & ring alert option vibrates for a few seconds then rings. Alarms do not have a snooze option.

Summary: AT& T and Samsung do NOT play well together
Review: MAKE SURE YOU GET THE EDCI SOFTWARE. At&t was aware of software incompatibilities with this phone in February. It's August and I still got the "EWJ5" software. When you get your phone, hit *#9999# and check your version. As I type I am on hold with Samsung (over 30 minute hold queue). It looks like I'm going to be without a cell phone for a WEEK while they put the software on the phone that should have been on there in the first place. Basically the software problem makes the phone connection like a bad Cellular connection in the middle of nowhere. GSM my foot. So I order two of these phones on a Thursday. With free "express shipping." Whatever. I got one phone on Friday and I haven't seen the other one yet. AT&T customer care promised me a $20 per phone credit when I purchased, but "migration" only gave me a $15 per phone credit. (bait & switch) Whatever. I am *this* close to my 30 day return to AT&T. I'm already out shipping ($10 per phone). The phone's not bad, usability-wise, but I can't recommend the AT&T + x426 combo.

Summary: Missing a few things.
Review: Much better than a Nokia I had. Reception is better but still not great. I blame AT&T for that. This phone is nice and small. I like the clam shell design. It does not flip as easily as the Motorola that is similar in size and price. I agree 100% with another review, THE TONES ARE HORRIBLE. Another feature missing that I miss is auto-update of time and date. I travel extesively and I now have to manually adjust the time. The ear piece is OK. Buy one that fits your ear. Bottom like good phone not great.
