Our family had two x426 phones for about a year, and we loved them. The first things we admired about them was their compact, clean style and solid feel. Their beautiful color display and clear reception were a welcome bonus. All that's very nice, but what we really wanted to know was -- do they work? We found the x426 phones to be very reliable with excellent battery life. The buttons are easy to use, and the menus are simple to navigate. The phones are well designed, small enough to fit in your pocket, and look great. The displays are bright and colorful, and the sound quality is excellent -- we never had any reception problems whatsoever. We loved that the x426 phones are completely customizable. We uploaded our own wallpapers, set secure passwords, and assigned ring tones to specific numbers and/or groups. The programmable directional pad came in handy for instantly accessing the calendar, alarm, call records, and calculator (just about any function can be programmed here). I used the alarm to alert me for eBay auctions quite a bit, and the To Do List became invaluable to me. **There are many other features, too many to describe here, but the 500 name phone book, call waiting, caller ID, and alerts (sound and vibrate) worked flawlessly and are all worth mentioning. The manual is clearly written, nicely cross-referenced, and it's a nice, small size that will tuck away in the smallest drawer. The AC adapters are also small enough to store easily, and they completely charge fully depleted batteries in about an hour. Battery life for these phones is exceptional. The batteries still held the same strong charge as when new, and, in our case, the batteries lasted 2-3 days without a charge. Our single, very minor complaint was the ridiculously small rubber protectors for the phones' AC adapter connections, sort of tiny plugs at the foot of the phones. These silly things are about 1/8" W x 1/2" L, and, unless you have ESP, you'll lose them straight away. Wrestling the protectors in and out every time we needed to charge the phones was annoying, so we stored the plugs and used the phones without them. Of note, the x426 is preloaded with some questionable ring tones, but downloading ring tones of your choice quickly resolves this. The wallpapers are animated, and most are acceptable. However, personalized wallpapers are easily uploaded to the x426 with a Samsung Serial Data Cable. Software for creating wallpapers is a free download from Samsung (as of this writing). The x426 phone is an excellent choice for teens or first time cell phone users because it's so simple to use. If there's ever a question, the User Guide is very understandable and quick to reference. Further, the phone's many features are easily accessed and can be personalized to the user. And, many organizations, like secure workplaces, do not allow cell phones with cameras, and these phones meet that requirement. Overall, we were very pleased with the performance of the x426 phones and the accessories. We had no problems at all. In fact, the x426 phones impressed us so much that when we signed a new service contract, we opted for the x427m phones -- the x426 twins. You just can't go wrong with a full-featured phone that's stylish, dependable, and simple to use. **We didn't use the WAP 2.0 Web Browser (mMode), but this internet option is available (text messaging, etc.). Java games are preloaded, but we only explored these once or twice.Read full review
The Samsung x426 is not a recent model of a cell phone, however it works great and looks slick. My family had 3 of these from the AT&T network, and they worked wonderfully, had the company not sold out to Suncom, I would still be using it. The phone is one of my personal favorites, it's size (fits into a small palm), the flip is flush when you close it, the battery life is beyond expected, and colors are very vibrant. Down side is that there is not outside LCD. I think everything else makes up for that though. The hand strap is helpful, as I now realialized my current phone doesn't have that. The X426 is not 100% resistant to scratches, but it does better than most plastic phones or phone covers. Original ringtones and games are good, the display is easy to follow for options (average person doesn't even need the manual). It's signal strength is good (or was good on the AT&T network), but from what I've heard they work well on Cingular as well. Samsung once again lived up to its expectations. Thanks for looking.Read full review
I love this phone. It's small and feels solid in your hand. The talk time is amazing on this. I got up to 6 hours with out recharging. No camera, no Bluetooth. Just a basic cell that has basic features like alarm, calculator, speaker phone, etc. But this little guy rocks. Call quality is excellent, signal strength is also great. Need a small flip phone that does the job. The x426 or 427 does it and does it well.
Great phone, easy to use, in otherwords it is simple. Has some bells and whistles but not enough to make it unaffordable. The best phone I have had so far. There is nothing to dislike about the phone if that is what you are using it for "a phone".
I had this exact phone before and i loved it. So when it broke i knew i had to get that exact phone again. I typed it in on ebay and found it. The phone is perfect except for some very small scratches on the exterior of the phone. I bought it from this seller because he had a make offer buttom. I made an offer and he made a counter offer that was still a great deal. I had to buy it.
