  • me too i have 1 and its very good

  • I love it!!!

  • this is my favourite one!..it`s easy to use, very organized, it has a unique "look"...what more could you need. oh and it can get through a lot of dropping without deteriorating a bit! it`s great. I have it for 5 years now..it`s a pity a have to change it because of the battery.

  • my sister has this phone and it can survive through anything she once accidently put into a dryer and after that she tried to use it, and it was still working perfectly

  • i concur with the commenter w/ "superb" feedback. i bought this piece of cellphone back in y2k5, and its sticking like glue. it's awsome. i dislike mobile cameras cuz even tho mpixels r rising the qval is far from regular (even compact-alike) cameras. the phonebook is good for 2000 posts, superb phone! too bad they discontinued it.

  • this phone is freaking aweome

  • this phone is really superb. I used it for 3 years and didnt face any problem.

  • This phone realy realy super. I got this phone in 2006 and still running strong & smoothly. i only replaced it battery once and that was the only replacement i've done up to now. It have less features but a perfect phone for normal use. I love it.

  • This is really a great phone I had this phone December 2005- 2008. the longest phone I have ever had. Kudos to Samsung for a making suck a great long lasting phone.

  • actually i was using samsung x480,it was pretty good and slim , very compact to use,,,,,,,,and wat i need is can i get this model mobileby post... pls do the need full.....

  • i got dis fone as a bday present 3 years ago and i thought we'll never part....it was stolen and i never got it back..i guess every1 wants a fone lke dis...2 bad they took mine...i mis u X480 :(

  • My best phone to date... This is a short history of the phones I used since 1999: 1999-2001 Sagem MC912....pretty sturdy phone, battery died quickly though and some problems w/software 2001-2002 Nokia 3310....reliable but battery life was quite short, also it was way too heavy 2002-2003 Alcatel 512 Pretty nifty little bugger, but quite fragile, had to take it in for repairs twice before I gave up on it 2003-2004 Sagem My X-5, my 2nd BEST, very good, reliable, very good battery life 2004-2005 Motorola C385 pretty straight forward, good battery life 2005-..... This Samsung, the X480...I can't even remember how many times I dropped this phone, I even dropped it in water without realizing, picked it up minutes later, let it dry for a couple of days, worker without flaw. It's shell is pretty beat-up but no cracks...very good material/workmanship. Battery life is not outstanding, but it still gives me 3-4 days, even after 4 years, despite some saying batteries (Li-ion) have about 3 yrs working life. I love the shape, size of it, I wouldn't change this phone unless somehow it stops working.

  • this is still my favourite phone of all time, I have now had 22 phones, Blackberries, iPhones. But this cute little bundle of joy is by far the best.

  • had it for over three years and never had to change battary nor send it to repair. Good job Samsung :)

  • No good tecnology but i need to confess: I really LOVE this phone: small, pretty and resistante, i never had problems with it during three years of use. Congratulations, Samsung!!!!

  • this is the world best phone i'v ever had till date...the best feature about this phone is its phone buk enteries..where do u get such an amazing feature of 2000 phnbuk enteries.....its jus an awsum phone...hatsoff to samsung for such a amazing discovery..

  • you are so right it is great

  • this is the best ever mobile in the world,and the most cute design.

  • you are extemely wrong

  • phone settings then display settingsand then service light.

  • this phone is just nice very strong i have had it for mor than 3 years have no problem with it except that battrey is getting old

  • Does anyone know how to get the Service Light working? bought the phone from Hong Kong but dont have a clue if it works or not? flashes every 3 seconds if a Brazilian phone. Would Appreciate Anyones Help, Mark in England. Thank You.

  • Can someone help me how to download pics and ringtone from computer ??? Does it need to buy seperate USB ??? Using the same charger socket for USB ???

  • ok i have dis fone for a year or sumtin its ok it sticks for a fone dat cant hold much data but it has all da basics. its durable cuz mines has fallen so many times it a bit banged up buh still works like a charm unlike my frend iphone dat fell once an da screen cracked wich is quite unfortunate

  • I have had one of these for 3 years now and the problem list is endless. i have heard of people having them and having no trouble at all. mine on the other hand turns off when people try to call u. sometimes it just turns off for the sake of it. messages dont come through properly. everything works extremely slow. Even though i have deleted almost everything. The Keys are extremely sticky ans stop working from time to time. expecially #,0,* definately not worth the price

  • this phone is best i ever had. i bought it 3 years ago. the design's nice and it's very durable. i never have problem with this phone.

  • hi,I have x 480 and want to dawnload files(image,sound,...)for it . please guide me about file format and sourses for dawnload .

  • My X480 broke a couple of days ago. I bought it two and a half years ago. I was great. Suddenly starts to reset and I couldnt listen to any call, people could listen to me but I couldnt them so I had to close it and open it multiple times until it goes back in action. Battery was lasting around 8 now... Too bad this things happend, cause the size and features of the phone where perfect!

  • hi,x480 is realy great,this phone is very durable even so many time i've been drop in the floor,if x480 has more stock i probably buy more for my nephew,

  • we use the X486, at first it unique lightness and stylish design catches you but after using it for two years when it decides to go its gone, it was quite faithfull and as my husband in into construction it has been in many accidents, it even fell off a 3 storey roof and survived by it just died i do not want another one like it though i believe this phone is more suited for children or women in an office

  • X486 in argentina

  • The phone looks good and is very light weight, worked well for the first six months, but now it hangs and restarts at will. Takes eons to send long messages

  • This phone is really, really good. If you want your battery to last for 5-6 days, hear the person you're talking to perfectly and enjoy the design from Samsung, this is definitely the perfect cell for you. I've had it for two years now and it has never let me down.

  • hello, i am from panama city, i had the movil phone samzung x480, but i had a incidence with this phone, beacuse when i have 6 moths with this movil my movil was average,i went to the store when i buy my movil and dont work more. my movil was beautifull, but had problem with the memory

  • I'm from Brazil, and I've had this phone for more than a year. I know it's not the most technological one, but i does what it is needed to. Tha battery lasts more than 5/6 days. And the quality of the calls are pretty good = ]

  • I have one and i downloaded some personal pictures then i wanted to sell it and i can't get the pictures erased from it. If that phone gets in the wrong hands i could be put in a very embarrasing posistion with those pics. No one in my country Trinidad and Tobago can help me. That's why i won't use the phone no more.

  • Hey ! I've had this phone for almost a year now . I like the design, the weight, the feeling of holding it in your palm, etc. I dropped it many-many times, even dropped it water once, the side buttons didnt work for a few weeks, but then it worked again :D:D:D The downside that I can find bout it is maybe signal, which is poor, but maybe coz I dropped it so many times. Also no loud speaker and the quality of sound not too extraordinary. Would reccomend it, but I think it's already outdated :P :P

  • Yeah I have one and I love this phone.... simple, stylish and no problems with it :D

  • Does anybody here who own the Samsung X480 have any signal problem with it? I already know that it isn�t a mobile company problem because I have another phone from Siemens that works fine in some places that the X480 doesn�t. Thanks Marcio - Brazil

  • This is the best phone i've ever used.It is very easy to handle,small in size,lighter in weight and relatively better than other manufacturers comparing it's quality and price i would love to have it always in my pocket.

  • This is very pointless phone. I want to get rid of it. Weeee... Xmas is coming... i hope that i get samsung z400 for xmas. :)

  • This is the worst phone probably yet. It needs alot of u i kno i just hate it that i had to get rid of it

  • just a question... how do you receive a picture message cause mine never works

  • i love this phone it is soo compact its heaps better than heaps of my friends phone cause theres are all chunky and stuff but i think that they should put a camera in the phone then it would be perfect. also does anyone know if there are anymore than 3 colours that you can use for the flashing light?

  • i have this phone 4 1 year nearly i was just woundering ow i can read my sent my items? ow can i change d colour of the buttons that comes up on when u dial a number in

  • I have this phone fot a little while now, and i think it's the best i had till now. Because it's light and tiny, you can call and sms (the most essential ;) I had nice phones with camera's before, but it's no good for the memory capacity. So i love this phone :) If you want to see what you have send, you can save your sms and then it will apear in your outbox. Greetsz from Holland

  • this is a very good phone, one friend has it and he has no complains

  • I have sumsung x481 and I am not that happy because it does not have much features and games

  • Hey guys i've samsung x480 can anyone please tell me why this phone has not any option of sent items, how can i see my sent sms is there anything anyone can do or tell me the way to get sent sms to me to know what i have sent to whom

  • this design its incredible

  • Fantastic!

  • Am thinking of buying these phone but am sure about the network coz i heard that it has a problem with network since it doesn't have an antennae please help before i purchase the phone.

  • a fantastic phone from us here in Barbados

  • it is a great phone but it is missing certain features such as mp3ringtones,camera and infared or bluetooth thecnology

  • It's nice and neat, the only thing missing is a camera and more up-to-date ringtones otherwise it's a great phone.From Barbados with love.

  • i had the nokia 6111 but it was too high maintenance and i never used all the extra functions much: camera, bluetooth, video, music player, etc. and the sound quality sucked! I wish I had bought the Samsung x460 a long time ago. It's perfect for calling and texting, which is just what I need right now. It's inexpensive and so so cute and quite slim too . . . I plan to get it decorated:) NO MORE DRAMA!

  • can anyone please help me?? I was wondering if it's possible to buy cool ringtones to this cellphone. Like famous songs which are "in" right now . is that possible??

  • my first cellphone ever, and I think it's cool. But I am a little disappointed, I thought there was a camera in the celly?? too bad, otherwise it would have been tha best!!

  • Probably one of the worst phones I've ever had. Between the archaic text messaging system and the inability turn the vibrate function off, this phone will be retired as soon as possible. Back to Motorola, I will never buy a Samsung again.

  • phone is great... but how do you set the time on it? like after daylight savings

  • This is the best phone I have ever had.it is small and it doesn't have poles like the other flips. it's one of the best phones on the market.Wow when your'e in the dark and the light starts blinking it's a Bom!!!

  • this phone is just great! its built quality is really fantastic. its very small and light and i love how it looks! its a perfect phone.

  • I believe this phone is fantastic//i have it for about 44 months now//i was able to download my own photo that i scanned frm my pc to this phone..i can assure you that the graphics is very cool not to mention the midi format ringtones that almost sounds like mp3//I recommend any one to buy this fone.....

  • does the led realy has 7 colors???????

  • Nice phone,but don't know whether i can use a usb.and anyone know any site where i can get games for x480.pls reply by mail [email protected]

  • its so good

  • for those who dont know how to on the alarm, go to menu , then organizer then alarm there press I mutton insetead of select then u can select which ever option u want.

  • Few days back I've bought this phone. It's really nice, stylish and really fantastic. The main speciality is its Display. really natural and with a heavy sharpness. I am thanking to Samsung Team. Me From Dhaka,Bangladesh.

  • i bought the handset yesterday, anybody can say how to switch off the alaram. that option is not enabled in my handset. alaram is also not functioning please tell me if any one knows thank u

  • This is a good and simple phone.I'll buy it soon. But can we use amr files for a call signal or midi & mmf only?

  • i bought this model for almost 2 months and wasnt giving any problem until few days ago when i've trouble calling out,receving calls and sms.whenever i dial a number,it stated "Call Ended" immediately.I've check there's nothing wrong with the service provider and my Sim card does work in other phones.I've to switch off and on again to call out or sms.The phone settings are default as it came when i bought.Does anyone have this problem? Pls reply ASAP..thank u

  • This is one of the cleanest/best flip phones we have tested.

  • This phone is on our must buy list.Smaller than the Motorola pebl and tested better.

  • Is the phone USB ready???? i'm planning to buy one.

  • its small, sweet and stylish. Sound quality is really good. pictures are clear.

  • for such a cheap fone ($199AUD) it is extremely good, ive had it for about 1/2 a year now and if ur not worried about all the fancy functions and just need a fone 2 perform 2 task - calling and msging- it is the best. the keys are beautifully spaced apart, with a simply yet intuitive menu system. there is no problem at all during calls as the volume is loud and clear whilst u can still msg at the same time as u call. simply a great fone that serves it purpose well. battery life is pretti good too

  • just got this phone the other day.. its realli good! the screen is like a mirror without the back light. the games are bad tho. service light onli flashes 3 colours..

  • This phone is small & neat...

  • Smallest flip phone on the market.Samsung quality!!Samsung X480 is a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The phone IS USB ready. Cable is sold seperately, don't fool potential buyers! Cable's approximately for 10 bucks. Really nice , solid, stylish who searches for a non-camera phone. It's funny that in download section of the Samsung website offers 4 free application to be used with your x480. How should i use the apps? Sure, with a USB data cable. You can synchronize images, melodies between your PC and phone. That means you can upload your pics&ringtones from computer to x480. You can even send & recieve SMS and other stuff while phone's connected. Again, Please don't give wrong info here!

  • The phone is okay, I'd just bought one. The information on this site is not accurate. The phone did not have USB and the phone book capacity is 2000 and not 1000.

  • I have one, it's smart phone. I love it.

  • YEAH!a great mobile i have ever used ,easy to go with and download ,as it needs some skills to use it,like alarm, and setting rings for ur friends,but it s sharming ,what do u think!?

  • One of the coolest phone i have used in quite a while. I used to have a 6600 now the x480 is just 1/4 its size... feels like having nothing in my hand!!!

  • I have one. It�s amazing. Here in Brazil, it is a success of sale. I love its features. It�s light and small. The sounds of keyboard and rings are beautiful. I recommend it for those who are smart.

  • I own this phone for a few months.What I don't like are:the alarm, even if it's set for ringing between Mon-Fri, it's ringing also Sat and Sun(not so nice);the pictures taken with other camera (MMS) are very low quality;polifonic melodies are also very quiet;you cannot know if you missed one alarm or not, nothing is diplayed;you cannot choose a melody for a particular number, only if it's saved into phone's memory;you cannot have a picture(only a drawing) attached to every number from phonebook. Typically a blond phone :)

  • I love this phone.so great design,just perfect.i'll buy one soon.

  • it's a beautiful pfone..is small..but is very stupid.....why the tones i put in sound very pour and low on volume????this pfone is more for women..

  • just bought one...how long should i charge the battery before i turn it on?

  • Hello Guys , Please someone tell me how to copy names from SIM card to phone memory in this mobile , i bought this mobile a week ago and i dont know how to copy them :(

  • hi im planning to buy this phone can some one plz help. some one said about voice ring tones in mmf formate can be played. is it true? can we have voice ring tone in any way or formats thanx

  • Simply Fabulous! Having used Nokias, Motorolas, Panasonics, I am just in love with this phone. The only deficit is that the samsung people might have considered putting in a camera.

  • i have also the x480 phone of samsung coz i like it so much,even i have a new phone but i still wanted to use the x480 coz its very easy to cary and comfortable & very good looking.

  • little cute phone:) I'm not gonna buy it, but it's still one of the best lookings phone:)

  • I have a x480 is the best, small, soft, very beatuful :D the batery during 5 days

  • x480 is very poor at battery, because i can talk only 3 days and i shut it down during the night in order to save some battery. Another discomfort consists in a very complicate way to find out how much time did you talk at the last call

  • Hi people.. i wanted to get the samsung x480 as christmas gift to my sister. i just wonder is this phone good? i heard people comment that the phone aint so good. i need opinion from u guys.. pls help...

  • I got the X480 a week back for abt US $115 in the gray market.Battery backup comes to about 3 days with usage for abt 30min a day.This is a phone ONLY for talking on..messaging is quite a hassle.And there's no option to forward a message!!!Thats atrocious in this day and age.The built in ringtones are AWFUL!!So u gotta download other tones.Keypad is nice and big..easy to type text messages. Not at all as user-friendly as Nokia

  • im in love with that tiny phone iwish if i had moor of them one in the car one on the desk and one in my hand it so small.

  • how about the batery standby time? I heard is maximum 3 days...

  • by this mobile you can compose melodies. The best way to get rid off vibration when you don;t want any ring tone, is to compose a melody with no sound.

  • I've just bought it last 28th October. The phone's great, except that I can't seem to completely turn off the vibration in silent mode? I'd also like to know if I can turn all sound volume to zero? If anyone there knows how to, kindly help me. Thank you.

  • Samsung X 480 is the best one in the all models, which are running in the maeket at this era.Its look is very decent and makes a persons, personality charming by holding in hands.

  • until now i haven't no complain about it! it's a pretty and usefull phone

  • HUh?? why so many colors 65k for no camera? just to be expensive? c�mom guys watch out. take a look at the new model to fight back x480... coming soon nokia6060 that�s the right style.

  • but it doesn't have camera!!!

  • i cant select my favorites ringtones, who has been download, when i want to receive a text mesaje. and also y can selec vibration+sound with any ringtone. here in Argentina, this mobile phone has a trouble with the signal, just lose the signal in any moment. thanks, sorry about my english...greetings

  • My cell phone keeps turning off by itself, this is a malfunction, the phone is about 5 weeks old. What is the problem?

  • my screen is blank no matter what i do i cant see nething i shut it off and turn it on and still ntohing...so i cant get my msgs or see who calls HELP

  • My cell turns off by itself, if a leave it unnattended by an hour it just turns off; is there an option on the phone or is it a problem ?? The battery is fully charged ... I didn't like that in receiving SMS you can't have Vibration + Sound .. you gotta choose one ... It's pretty unusefull :( The rest it's perfect.. I really love this model ... Does anybody has the same problem ?? Please contact me!

  • in stand-by, just type *#8999*8378# there will appear a secret menu where you can do many manipulations

  • is there any way one can increase the ringtone volume? It is so very easy to miss calls even when the ringtone volume is at max level......please contact me.Thanx

  • has anybody connected this phone to the computer (using data cable)?where is the cable connected to and how frequently does one have to recharge the batteries of this cell? somebody...anybody

  • how do download pictuers for computer to mobail..........................................­..

  • My girlfriend droped it on the floor 1.5m. It's still working.

  • i'm about to buy this phone, and i was worried... is it a resistant phone. Has anybody casually dropped it??? becuase i want a cellphone that can take a couple of hits

  • could somebody tell me is the display size of the x480 is the same as the display of x450 or it is smaller?

  • This phone is great. Fits in your pocket very well. Have a nice design. Have some small problems, but which phone doesnt have it? for the purpose of it (small, nice design, lightweight, is very cheap), well, its very good... If someone is not satisfied whit this specs, then buy some other phone, heavy weight, bigger, uglier, with a cam, with mp3... they will have others problems too... I recommend this phone, specially for who want to dont worry about to carry out a cel phone in the pocket...

  • actually dont worry... i just worked it out :) p.s e700 is the best phone i have ever had and i want the person who stole it to give it back! :(

  • HELP... i bought this phone a month ago, before that i had an E700 but it was stolen :(. the thing i hate most about this phone is not knowing who is calling before you answer it. it automatically answers when you flip it open. is there anyone who knows if i can turn this off? help me please :)

  • I have to disagree with Tamar, goto YOURMOB.COM it's got far better stuff and I use them all the time when I download to my X480.

  • really this phone is great, i just bught it and its totally great..

  • i need some answers ppl plzzzz!! im using R220 now, and it views all missed calls even if its from 1 person. Does this fone do that? Or it only shows one of each number missed?? Another thing, does it have the option to vibrate first and then start the ringing? Does it automatically answer the call once i flip it open? Is there a "silence" button i can press when the fone is ringing? please just email me and tell me, cause im thinking of getting this fone! thank you so much

  • This is cool phone for its price,small,light, with useful led. Else,go to www.freewebs.com/phonobox ,they have truly free wallpapers and melodies for download,more than 100

  • My phone doesn't have ABC mode in SMS.. it's T9.. you have to choose if you want ABC or 123.. why is my phone diffrent from yours?

  • It's a mixed bag. Overall, I quite like it, but my old phone was very basic. The features I like are: * small. * no antenna sticking out. * flip phone. * easy to navigate menus * reasonably priced. * no camera (not allowed where I work). * Java games. The features that annoy me: * the ring tones are truly appalling. Here's an idea, what about a tone that actually sounds like a phone ringing? * external indicator light only flashes when a call is ringing (what about message received or missed call). * message composer always defaults to ABC I have to press a button 3 times to switch into T9 at the start of every message. If I was in T9 mode composing the previous message, why not stay there? * The capitals mode is a similar deal. If you want to capitalize someone's name mid sentence you have to hit a button 3 times. * no button to flip it open. * very smooth finish and small size makes holding it a little precarious.

  • This is an incredibly good phone, I bought it and it hasn't given me any problem. You can have ring and vibrate at the same time, it's the default option!!! Also, the thing that REALLY annoys me is that you can't select T9 as default; you have to select it each time you write a message. I've written to Samsung asking if there's a way to recttify this. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to make smses automatically store on the phone's memory [it holds 200 whereas the SIM card only holds 20]. Only two major gripes, otherwise the phone is excellent

  • It's a nice set with beautiful display screen but the only thing with which i'm not satisfied is its ringtone volume.. its very slow even sometimes walking in bazar i often miss calls. i'll be wondered if there's any trick to increase its volume, of course from its own highest level.

  • what size & type wallpapers do you download? on the samsung website it has options 128x128 jpg & gif, then the rest in jpg 128x96, 176x144, 176x178. the phone has a display of 160x128 so i would assume you would get 128x128 & because it supports 65k colour i assume jpg would be better quality but a bit bigger. Any thoughts? Cheers.

  • I looking to me the samsung X480 and there is something I'd like to know before I sign anything. How many sms's does it hold?? This is important for my decision so any help would be much appreciated^_^ Just send me an email, thanks!!

  • The phone is excelent only that it misses a radio component.pliz let the designers do something.see ya.

  • This phone is great! I bought it because its design.. It's the coolest phone i've ever seen! The color fine red really makes a diffrent. The phone doesn't look like ever one else..

  • Yes the Samsung x480 is a fine mobile however the service light not indicating missed calls is a major problem. I was very surprised to find this phone lacking this option. This seems to be a big oversight. Yes please if anyone knows how to fix this then please let us know.

  • got this phone a week ago... im pretty impressed with samsung's grid style user interface, it's really great and very user friendly... size and physical looks' really good... i've been using nokia phones since the release of nokia 5110 and transition to samsung's clamshell phone will be a great experience... but i missed out something on buying this phone... i thought the lack of external display will be offset by the service light when you have unread messages or missed calls... i mean the service light will keep on blinking until u read ur message, at least u have a sign that u've got new messages or missed calls... too bad it ain't work like that, the service light just blinks for a certain period and stops, too bad... u still need to flip it to know if u have new messages... i hope samsung can fix this flaw, i think this can be fixed through firmware upgrade... so please samsung do something about this... i really love everything in this phone except for the useless service light... if anyone knows how to make the service light work please please please let me know... for people who wants gadgets only for their dedicated purpose, this phone suits you...

  • Cute little sexy phone that really suits to any one looking for a stylish PHONE, not a camera, mp3 player etc.. signal strength and call quality is much better than my old nokia 3100. Ring tones, great, and downloading a voice mmf would make it no difference from a high end phone that plays mp3 ringtones. User friendly operation. So I would recommend it to any one who needs a PHONE.

  • Very happy with phone. Just wanted the smallest phone I could find that was a clam (so no annoying key-lock rubbish required), didn't have ext antenna to jab into me and did the basics - calls and SMS. LOVE the fact I'm not paying (in money and size) for a camera, blue tooth etc I never use - I know this because I've had a number of top-of-the-line phones !! Also am very happy the side buttons do nothing when the phone is closed - on previous flips I've had this alters ring volume - handy if it's in your pocket and you accidently lower the volume to silent - NOT !! Would have liked an external screen but if that means those side buttons are active again I'm okay to live without it. Settings exist so you can open and review your callers before answering if you like. Only fault, agree the hot-keys are a little annoying - esp ringtone, but I've only had it for a few days and have managed not to set it off too often. Also not a fan of the WAP key - I don't use it that often so not important enough feature for such a key for me. Incidently, Nokia fans tend to trash all other phones - very irritating - especially considering Nokia's std function is to have a key-lock that unlocks when the phone rings - so if it's in your pocket or handbag pressed up next to something it's answered, whether you know it or not !!

  • This phone is seriously flawed. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! It is true that you have to choose between vibrator and sound (not both at the same time). It also has no snooze, no stopwatch, silly ringtones, and really stupid fast buttons. Like, if you are going to browse the phone and accidentally hit the right side of the big button in the middle, you enter "ringtones" and your ringtone starts playing. And then you get startled because the phone started to ring while you were in the middle of spmething and you try to answer it and you look really stupid when you figure out that the phone didn't actually ring, you just hit the wrong button by mistake. It's a flip phone but it has no button to open it with, so when it's ringing it always takes a little bit of time to get it opened before you can answer the call. It might not bother everyone, but it bothers me. Also, it has a very uncomfortable grip, it's hard to write text messages because the design is somehow uncomfortable and it's really easy for it to slip out of your hands. Which is a bad thing except for the fact that you might get lucky and it might go into million pieces and then you would have to buy a new one. In which case you would be lucky. Actually, just don't buy it in the first place.

  • I wanna buy a flipfone dat doesnt pinch in d jeans pocket unlike those models w/ xternal antennaz... Simple nice features. Nice price too.(Tired of using Nokia6260).But too bad it has no bluetooth. Still, il buy this fone coz i like its stylish dsign. ........As long as it can send & receive sms,mms and has long batt life and colored screen,, i believe this fone suites my needs.

  • Its great. Dee, u got to disable "Active Folder" at Phone Settings > Extra Settings to avoid answering by just opening the flip.

  • it is really stylish mob i like it very much i think it just need to acept MP3

  • does this phone answer the incomming calls automatcally as soon as u open it???? please help! urgent!

  • it is a good phone , cool and style that differ from any other mobile phone, i realy like it

  • im deciding between this phone and the LG C1100... which one would u recommend?

  • i hav bought this phone last monday.... quite small & stylish...but there is 1 thing make me curious about.. y the front LED can only show 3 colours?! i wonder the information given here: 7 colours LED , is wrong ?

  • hi i have a new x460 hp... never use b4.. got by signing up line today.. wana sell at 250 cash... interested party please email me asap. thank 90239167

  • I hear Samsung doesn't have vibrator and signal on the same time (that you have to choose), and that you can not snooze (only alarm once). Is it so?

  • Hi, how much it cost with FMG warranty now ? Did this phone have USB port ? The spec say have but some say no ...! Can anyone tell me more of this phone ? And how it differ from motorola phone because i m using one ...! thank for reading ..... !:-)

  • I think the x480 is quite good lookin but without an external screen to see whos calling etc. Its pretty annoying

  • this phone costs only RM535 at the FMG stall in Gurney Plaza [penang] for Mother's Day Promotion! 7th, 8th and 9th May only! grab ur chance! i regretted not taking my money with me when i went shoppin!

  • me too.this is oso my first samsung phone(been using nokia for dunno how long...).i didnt explore it much ever since i bought it.so sorry,cant help ya much.lack of external screen is the main prob(who cares if it doesnt have a camera).but nvm.budget wise this phone is considered good enough.

  • I got mine with FMG 18mths warranty only RM540. I'm not sure if it covers accidents because I only saw the ad for the x460. The lack of an external screen kinda puts the active folder function useless unless you fancy answering the phone first then discover who is calling! Otherwise, turn the active folder off. How do you do mass copying (contacts & sms) on this phone? Doesn't look like there is an option. Also how do you set default for contacts & sms to be on the sim card & phone? What happens when my sms is maxed out on the sim? Does it go to the phone automatically? Sorry this is my first samsung phone & have only used nokia/sony before.

  • i've bought this phone for Rm560 with the FMB waranty(1 year) in malaysia.a phone with basic features i might say,but the design is nice and its quite small.suits design lovers who don't care much bout specs(me).although as i look at it longer i feel like it suits girls more.the colour screen is not bad for 128x160 65k UFB if compared to other phones of similar price such as the nokia 6100 or the panasonic x200.the only drawback is the loss of external display which might be a bit inconvenient for those who don't wear a watch n if there r any miss calls or messages that is received and the loss of camera.although for me i don't need a camera if the resolution sucks.might as well get a digicam.so basically,its a good phone with nice design and selling at a cheap price which meant for economy. and...this phone doesn't have a USB.that thing at the bottom of the phone is the socket for the charger.

  • hmmm got usb port? as i know it doesnt have that

  • great !!!

  • to Lan: u can download the stuffs by using GPRS =)

  • RM580 for FMG warranty. yeap, it got chinese support =)

  • The phone is so nice. I require it for my wife and myself.We have a samsung distributor centre in our country(KENYA) What would be the cost please? Might be better than my e700 phone.Keep up samsung.
