Samsung X490 - User Reviews

  • Oh my God am missing my phone. the time it was released it looks sooooooo amazed. my first phone to connect to the internet.

  • I still have on in the house somewhere. Wow!! Still works!!

  • have had this one for almost 3 years.Talking about 30 minutes every day, 20 sms everyday and the battery was able to hold for about 3-4 days!!!Unfortunatelly left the job so had to turn back the device. No complains at all! I do agree with the previous reviewer that the phone does not have many features but it does have wath the phones must have!Looking for something the same.

  • I have had this one for almost 2 years. No camera but don't really need it. I haven't had any problems with it. It gets good reception. I have dropped it many times,,,,still works great. The white one I have looks very girlie. I love it

  • Can anyone tell me what type of charger is used for this model phone? Thx!

  • I have the X497 model. It has lasted over 2 years and still works, although the reception is getting so bad I almost can't use it. My biggest complaint about the phone is the fact that you can set it to silent or vibrate, then if you accidentally bump the key on the side of the phone, even when the phone is closed, it switches off silent/vibrate and starts ringing. Since I am an attorney and cannot have a phone ringing in court, this is a major liability and hassle. I have to remember to turn the phone off many places. My wife has the same phone and hers is broken at the flip point and the battery holder so her phone only works part time, and it is her second battery. I would recommend another phone.

  • It's ok phone,and it looks nice,but thers no camera,infrared......pozzz

  • its decent but i wish it had a camrea

  • its decent but i wish it had a camrea

  • I cannot find the IRD. Help me plesae. Thanks!!!

  • like, were is the infrared port? it would be nice from you to change the informations posted on the site if there is no infrared option on this phone.

  • There is no infrared in it, also nor USB

  • dear sir my mobile is X490 samsung and infrade is not in this mobile please tell me where is the infrade and how can i find it?

  • how i can find infrade in my mobile and have a infrade in my mobile.my mobile is samsung X490

  • Relatively basic but tri-band, cheap, small, robust and in general allright. Most annoying is the terrible selection of ringtones standard built in. You're forced to go through the hassle of buying a decent one.

  • my question is very comman for x490.where is its infrared port?if anyone knows please reply

  • i have it mobile name is samsungx490 but i have no idea that where is infared port and how i can use infared and inable to use

  • can anybody tells me how much the telephone can work with one charge of battery? Is the Infrared working properly or it is only for contacts?

  • Does this phone or the X495 have real music MP3 where you can put in your headphones and listen to music?

  • The phone rocks, 495 does not come with infrared. Give up boys, lets buy a cable.XD

  • me also,had buy this phone especially for the infrared port aand i can't find it!!! help!!!

  • I can't find the infrared port, I have a Samsung x495, that is very similar to this, but it hasn't got that option, if somebody could help me to find the option, I will apreciate that. Thank's.

  • usb and infrared yes

  • i can't find the infra red option on the phone and i am not aware where the port it is situated on the phone!!! please help

  • is dis a good 1st fone

  • OMG, this phone looks SO MUCH like Nintendo's new GameBoy Evolution :S

  • The software must be defective but yes they come and exchange with their one year warranty.

  • Its a nice simple phone if your are giving to your kids with a top up card !!

  • Lacey What does it mean what you wrote? The software of the phone is defective? The customers bring it back to change to warranty?

  • I would not recommend this phone to anyone. This or the x495. They are completely worthless. I work for T-Mobile and I have replaced more of the x495 than any other phone since I've worked here. They suck.

  • Does this phone has infra-red since on some web sites it claims it has (gsm arena) and some says it does not. Please, answers, its very important!!!!

  • USA user? No way. U r mistaken with the X495. This is the European release which is indeed T-Mobile exclusive.

  • alan999 why is it so hard to believe a phone having USB and IrDA :D ? This thing is �49.99 in Woolworths UK if anyone wanted to know.

  • i have dis gayass fone. but better den nothing i guess lolzzzz

  • YOu have to be a T-mobile USA customer to use this phone. Even unlocked u stilled need their service to use most features. It is almost like haveing a CDMA phone. Now the choice is yours..........

  • USB and INFRARED??? I doubt it. But i like this phone. It's simple but effective.

  • This is a pretty basic phone. Not too great, there are better phones out there. PS: 1st one to post. BHOOOYAHHH!
