| compcrazy's Full Review: Samsung SGH-X426 |
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 life and the navigation menu is excellent. The games are also really good and the calendar function is truly the best. There's also a handsfree port at the top which makes it a lot easier. I'm still not quite sure what the hole by the handsfree port is though. The organizer feature is very helpful. In times when you're at the States, wondering "what can I buy for a good price?" well have no fear because the currency exchange menu is near. The world time map is also pretty nifty, especially when you want to make that call to your family but are so snoozy you can't even calculate that. The reception is great too! At IKEA, on the first floor, where everything is concrete, the T616 has a weak or no signal, but the X426 had three or four bars! The service light is also a nice little acccent, and it has three colours, red, orange and green.
The phone is nice, but is a little bit "kiddyish" so to speak. The folder tone, while cool, is still a bit embarassing in public places. The speakerphone is also a little too loud if you forget to push the rocker down when you're talking to someone, and the ringtones! There's, unfortuneately, not one single normal ringtone. But, for $19.99, it's a pretty good deal.
