Samsung SGH-X426

Pros: works well, cute, lots of features
Cons: speaker can be a little too loud, must hold microphone a bit away

I was an AT&T Wireless customer with a year left on my contract. So when I lost my old Nokia (yes, it was pretty much on purpose), it was time for a new phone. After looking around for awhile, I decided my best bet was the Samsung SGH-X426. It ...

Pros: small, light and very versatile phone with great sound and functionality.
Cons: Be sure to talk to your sales rep closely about what you get for $50.

I’ve never been a huge cell/mobile phone nut. I’ve had one because I think that they are necessary for someone who does a lot of driving, and I like the convenience when we are out. But I am not their top market – I don’t need a camera ...

Pros: Long battery life. Compact size. Nice color screen.
Cons: Ring tones are a little corny

Will never go back to Nokia again!! I've always been a fan of Nokia phones and was hesitant to stray from them. My last phone was a Nokia 3595 and I really liked it but I was getting tired of having an open faced phone. I found that I kept pushing ...

Pros: Light weight, intuitive, attractive, affordable
Cons: No Bluetooth, no camera, no MP3, no external screen

My husband is a cell phone junkie. Every year, he’s laying out for the newest, the prettiest, the most appealing phone he thinks we can afford. And me? I get last year’s model. This year, he picked up the Motorola v600, leaving me ...

Pros: Cute, light weight, compact, decent display screen
Cons: Small keypad, SIM Card warn out in 13 months, doesn't work most of the time.

I’m not sure if my phone is a piece of junk or if it’s AT&T converting to Cingular that’s the problem. Or it might be both… My teenage daughters desperately wanted flip phones in March 2004 – hey it was the rage and all their ...

Pros: Nice screen, okay reception, very small phone.
Cons: Lots of what I consider "basic options" missing or hard to use.

It seems that every Samsung phone is different. They can't come up with a good interface and stick with it. My last phone was the Samsung A420. It was a decent phone, but when I ran into screen problems and reception problems Sprint refused to replace my ...

Pros: In general, this is a light, reliable, cheap no-frills phone. Good audio quality and reception.
Cons: See above

I won't go into detail about this phone, as many already have. My wife and I both have one, and we like them a lot, as a basic phone. One thing that did bother us was there was no documented method in the user manual to program a PAUSE in the dial ...

Pros: Overall sound quality, durability, size, battery life, features, quality, price
Cons: hands-free thing is below average, doesn't tell me winning Powerball numbers

I am very pleased with this little silver phone - and especially for the price I paid for one new $10. Nope, there isn't a zero missing - ten bucks. For a few years I was an AT&T customer until I had a billing dispute and watched my bill increase ...

Pros: Size, weight, outstanding screen, ease of use, quick menu access, plenty of features.
Cons: ring/vibrate not simultaneous, "cute" menus, screen dim in daylight, charger 'plug' difficult to remove.

I've had this phone (aka Samsung SGH-X427, x426 only if through ATT Wireless) for a few months now and have not been disappointed with my purchase in the least bit. I bought it at a "Technology Hut" for $30 dollars so long as I was migrating my current ...

Pros: Animation of the phone was cool
Cons: Doesn’t have speakerphone.

I got my phone for a gift from my mother it was the first one I looked at that I liked because it was so unique and cool with its colored screen not only that but the shape of the phone was so cool and unique. I have had no problems with the ...

Pros: Style Reception Battery life with headset Size
Cons: Battery life without headset Deep scratches are noticeable

My previous cell phone was a Nokia 8265 (ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 82052943492). It was a wonderful phone in a nice indestructible package. My requirements when I got that phone didn't include aesthetics though. ...

Pros: Thin profile, lightweight, and large, vivid color display. Clear audio and easy to use.
Cons: No caller id, hands-free headset not functional, and battery charger cover is not practical.

I just purchased this phone through AT & T wireless with a 2 year plan, it cost me only $49.99. The Main features I would like to pint out are; Weight and Size: The Samsung SGH-x426 weighs only 2.8 oz. It's lighter than the average cell phone and ...

Pros: Ultra small size, very light-weight. Good set of features for a small phone.
Cons: No external caller ID, limited accessories, charger port cover easy to lose.

My wife and I purchased a set of these phones for our yearly phone upgrade through AT&T. We paid a total of $50 for both phones, and I think it was really a bargain. We had both been using Nokias before, and the smaller size of this phone is perfect. I ...

Pros: Lightweight, nice design, clear display
Cons: No exterior caller ID, outbound volume to loud

I read these reviews before I bought the X426 - and yes, it is very slick in design and lightweight. But the comments on the volume really need to be emphasized. The level that you hear your calls is fine (and can be adjusted) but it takes a true ...

Pros: Light Looks Nice Easy to adapt to in the beginning Good Graphics
Cons: Low Ringtone No External LCD The Worst setup for ring alerts EVER.

I just recieved my Samsung SGH-426 couple days ago..around 4 days ago..and when i first saw it..I loved it. It was seriosuly smaller and lighter than my previous phone (LG 5350). Although it took some time to get use to it, I'm happy I changed phones ...

Pros: its cool and cute
Cons: its cool and cute for now until i mess it up.

A few weeks ago I felt that I had to upgrade my old phone, a big, chunky old Nokia 3360. I had that for 2 years, and 2 years ago I thought i was so cool for having a phone. Well, we all know that it is impossible to keep up with technology and all my ...

Pros: Reception, Menu, Memory, Organizer, Handsfree Port, Service light
Cons: Loud Speakerphone, No normal ringtones, Folder tone

This is probably one of the best phones I think we've ever had! We bought it at Rogers after our Motorola C350 was getting a little too boring, and plus we also got a 128 MB mp3 player. The phone has a very good amount of space, pretty good battery ...

Pros: Works great at its original job, a telephone. Calls sound fine, reception is decent.
Cons: Slow as a snail processor. Various quirks keep it from being great.

I bought this phone because I had had enough of my nokia 3590. I started having battery problems and realized that it was just a poorly designed phone. Looking back now it wasn't so bad. Nokia has been around a while, at least long enough to realize how a phone should work. It seems with samsung that they should do some more research. The phone just has little quirks about it that when i see them i think: "Nokia had this right". I think i like the samsung better but still its obvious its not perfect. The phonebook on the phone is poorly designed, unable to easily organize the numbers. The entire operating system is too streamlined. Samung I need more options!

Pros: The phone itself is cool. good ringtones, small, sleek.
Cons: um... it didn't WORK (at least not very well)

Basically, this phone STINKS with the 1.5 software from AT&T. They discovered this problem in January - I ordered the phone in August and STILL got the old software. AT&T says it's Samsung's fault. Currently I am on hold (1 hour and counting) with Samsung. I swear if they tell me I have to ship it to them and wait for a replacement, I will go ballistic.

My problem is I already activated the GSM service on my phone, so I can't go back to my old reliable Digital phone. When you take this phone out of the box, FIRST THING - check the software version by entering *#9999#. If it says 1.5 X46UEWJ5 then SEND IT BACK. Do NOT activate it. It will sound like a 10 year old cell phone.

The phone itself is cool. It's a little hard to see the display in direct sunlight, but otherwise it's cool.

Pros: Size, portability, metal case, style, battery life, games, screen quality, *durability*
Cons: Mediocre signal strength

I got this phone after dropping my previous Seimens phone on the pavement once. I wanted a more durable phone and the guy at the at&t wireless store told me he dropped his all the time. So . . .

I have dropped this a lot, on pavement, on the hardwood floor, on dog and small children . . .j/k. It's metal case is quite protective.

I have played cool color games on it many times on the long train ride from downtown Chicago to my apartment. They're really fun.

The call quality is good and the portability of this phone is excellent. It's amazing that it so small; I get feedback about that all the time. I have the smoke colored plastic clip holster for it and most of the time I clip it to the outside of my right side pants pocket.

I use the included headset often and the battery life is long. I took it on a trip and didn't charge it it lasted for 3 1/2 days before dying.

Pros: Pretty phone, a lot of features as far as making the phone look good.
Cons: What good is a pretty phone if you almost never can get a signal!

This is the worst cell phone I ever owned! I have to be lucky to get a signal or not to get cut off in the middle of a conversation. It even takes time to search for a signal and I never have more than two bars. I bought this phone because of its many features, what a mistake that was. Its so frustrating to see other people talking on their cell phones and I have to walk around just to get one bar. When your call finally goes through its unclear most of the time when your trying to listen to the person on the other end. After a while it tells you the call has ended because you lost the signal. Ive tried this phone in many different places and still get the same results. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. There are more quality phones out there for the money.

Pros: Cute, stylish, not that expensive
Cons: No external caller id, No speakerphone

I switched from Sprint to At&t in December. I wished I never did. I thought Sprint was ripping me off, I didn't start getting ripped off until At&t. First I had the Siemens M56, the reception was bad all the time(I thought it was the phone) then I got the Samsung x426. I thought it was so cute until I answered the phone and no one could hear me. My voice was breaking up as I was talking on the phone, and I was outside. It still does that till this day.

Pros: Lightweight, compact, easy to use, nice color screen
Cons: Charging port attachment easy to lose, clarity could be better

We just switched to AT&T from Verizon, because they offered much better plans, although I knew that the coverage was not as good as Verizon. I got this phone for free for my wife, because she wanted a flip phone for her purse. She loves the size and weight of the phone as well as the features. She didn't want anything too complex. The only thing that she doesn't like about it is that the signal is intermittent at home and will sometimes drop calls in the middle of a conversation. I don't know if it's the area we live in or just that the phone doesn't receive a good signal. My phone (Nokia 6800) seems to get a little better reception overall. We'll probably end up turning it in for a different phone and hopefully the coverage will continue to get better with AT&T. They've come a long way in the past two years.

Pros: Small,color screen,(loud)poly ringers,picks up great.
Cons: No external caller ID

I have enjoyed my new Samsung x426 from the moment I got it. Its very small easy to throw in your pocket and go. It has a color screen downloadable polyphonic ringtones. BTW on some handsets the poly ringtones are very faint. Not with this lil booger. It has the loudest ringer of any phone I've ever had. It has really clear voice quality too. Basically I just love it all around.

Pros: Nice looking, clear screen.
Cons: Reception, lack of useful features, microphone location, text input style, sensitive antenna.

I could not be less happy with a phone. I have had Motorolas, Panasonics, Nokias and had swimming success. This Samsung is REALLY disappointing. The reception is really weak, the microphone is terrible and the text system is antiquated. If you can get reception, you sound like you are talking through a wet sock and the person you are talking to will only hear every other word.

I have never written a review before in my life, but this phone is THAT bad. There is a reason they stopped selling this phone and started handing them out for free. It is truly useless. Save your self a headache and buy a Nokia.

Pros: small, stylish, lightweight, color screen
Cons: no external caller id. charger cover easily lost.

I had a Nokia and hated it. It was bulky and would give me problems. I never had a good signal. Finally, after seeing an ad I decided it was time to buy a new phone. Searched online and checked out the AT&T store.

I loved the way the Samsung looked. I researched a little and found that people who had the phone were very happy with it.

I ordered the phone on Wednesday and received it Friday.

I absolutely love the phone. I love the bright color screen and how lightweight it is.

I have a good signal in my house which I never had before with my Nokia.

I will say that even though an external caller id would be nice I don't find it an inconvenience to open the phone.

Of course after about four days of having the phone I lost the charger cover.

Everything is easy to understand and easy to use.

I love my Samsung x426
