The keys are a little small for trying to txt message and the reception can be bad in some places out in the country. Whne in the city calls are clear. This phone may be small but its a brick you can drop it step on it run it through the washer nothing will break it. Its got all your basic functions but nothing advanced the main reasion i got rid of mine is because hands free on it aint worth a crap its echos so bad its impossible to talk on it with a headset. Its a nice little phone and is getting alout of unfare reviews on this site. and its defently safe to have for a emergency i had to call 911 on it in a area that i kow is a dead spot for about 15 miles and it was crystal clear the whole call most newer if not all newer cell phones bump up the output when calling emergency services. its not as nice as my new razr but its a fraction of the cost what do you expect</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=15043#review15043 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=15043#review15043 Tue, 07 Feb 2006 14:45:45 GMT <p><i>FLGirl submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I agree that the sound isn't perfect. I don't like that it doesn't have a speaker phone. It is almost impossible to use a hands free device with it, but it takes a beating. <br /><br />I am hard on cell phones. I tend to be forgetful and even washed it..... in the clothes washer, soap and all. It took three days to dry out and I used my dryer with a rack to air dry it (without heat of course) It still works. <br /><br />I cannot tell you the amount of times I have dropped it. It hasn't cracked. It looks like it is five years old, but it is only 6 months old.<br /><br />I don't need a phone with all the bells and whistles. I like the sound of my ringers. I downloaded them into my phone. <br /><br />My advice on this phone is if you are hard on phones... are prone to clumsiness... like I am....then it isn't a bad deal. <br /><br />The only complaint I have is when I find another phone like this one only with a speaker phone and a hands free set that works..... I won't be able to transfer my downloaded ringers to the next phone. T-Mobile should work on that. It isn't cheap to download and they should be purchased once in my book.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=14947#review14947 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=14947#review14947 Thu, 02 Feb 2006 20:25:35 GMT <p><i>LaProfesora submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The only difference between this cellphone and a busted up payphone on a street corner in the bad part of town is that the cellphone is portable. Even truckstop payphones have a better quality sound than this model. Even my motorola that I bought in 2000 was better than this! :(<br /><br />I made the mistake of reading the positive reviews for this phone on phonescoop and believing them. (btw, T-mobile was the one who directed me to this website.) It makes me question who actually writes some of the reviews.<br /><br />CONS:<br />I confirmed the signal quality for my usage area (Indianapolis) on the Tmobile website and it said that it was strong in my usage areas. However, sometimes I get no signal in my own home,<br />Usage throughout the area: calls get cut off and voices (if there is a signal) are often choppy. <br />Even at maximum volume I can't hear the person on the other line very well and they can't hear me. As a result we are both yelling.<br />DON'T get this model if you need a phone to communicate with others. Especially if your main concerns are for use in emergencies and using for business purposes.<br />PROS: It tells time. It's portable.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=12790#review12790 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=12790#review12790 Sat, 29 Oct 2005 22:43:06 GMT <p><i>dinodoris submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros: <br />- good basic flip phone<br /><br />Cons:<br />- dropped calls all the time<br />- problems with text messaging<br />- when someone calls, the phone doesn't ring, just goes straight to voice mail.<br />- horrible reception</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=11405#review11405 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=11405#review11405 Tue, 16 Aug 2005 22:54:38 GMT <p><i>sportfan153 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for about 2 weeks, and i must say its a great phone!

By the way I am in New York City. This is not my first Samsung phone, I've had Samsung phones through Sprint PCS even before camera phones came out, and I love them. When I opened the account with Tmobile, I got the Motorola v180 for free (I hated it) and switched to an older model--Motorola t720i (which was ok, but I missed Samsung).<br /><br />PROS:<br />1. Phone is a nice, small size<br />2. The design is really nice, no antenna so it's different<br />3. Ringers are loud, I don't have to strain to hear the ringer, even when I download a ringtone from T-Mobile<br />4. Menu is easy to navigate and scroll through.<br />5. I didn't have to read the manual to use it, the phone itself is pretty much self-explanatory.<br />6. Call reception is terrific, callers on the other line hear me perfectly and clearly, I can hear them perfectly and clearly. Honestly, from my experience with Samsung phones and Motorola phones, Samsung just seems to have more voice quality.<br />7. Haven't experienced any dropped calls yet probably because I'm in the tri-state area.<br /><br />CONS:<br />1. when someone calls that is not in my phonebook, the telephone number they are calling from scrolls across the outside screen. It's annoying cuz I just want to see the number.<br />2. there is no regular standard ring, and the ringers that are defaulted in the phone aren't really great.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=10606#review10606 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=10606#review10606 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 17:07:54 GMT <p><i>volkswgirl submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had a Motorola V300 that I was very pleased with, but I dropped it in the washer and needed a replacement fast. I spend 100 dollars on this phone mainly due to appearance. I didn't really use the camera on my motorola, so figured something basic but small would be good. I do like this phone, but rather disappointed in the following features:<br />No outbox on text messaging (huge for a text messaging freak)<br />Megatone sound quality is horrible<br />You can't put it on completely silent (has to be vibrate or ringtone (at least that i"m aware of so far))<br />My ringer doesn't work half the time</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=10473#review10473 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=10473#review10473 Tue, 05 Jul 2005 23:37:19 GMT <p><i>Degrassi929 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>the phone was purchased through a tmobile store in atlanta georgia, it was 100% free. no rebates to worry about which was nice. the reception is wonderful, and i love the way it works. the color screen might not be the best on the market, but its vibrant and does its job. i would recommend the phone to anyone who needs a cheap basic phone for tmobile.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9855#review9855 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9855#review9855 Sat, 21 May 2005 13:22:09 GMT <p><i>mikes63737 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone has alot of "firsts" for me. This is my first T-Mobile phone. This is also my first GSM phone. This is my first flip phone. And this is my first color phone.<br /><br />Pros:<br />*Small and light-weight<br />*Internal antenna<br />*External LCD<br />*Nice, bright color screen<br />*Easy to use<br />*Sound quality is better than Great<br />*T9 input is better than most other phones<br />*Voice recorder<br />*Excellent battery life (compared to my other phones, this one lasts 4 times as long!)<br />*Side volume keys.<br />*No Camera (Camera Phones have cheap cameras anyway!)<br /><br />Cons:<br />*Phone makes lots of noise when it vibrates<br />*Included ringtones are not that good<br /><br />However, these cons can be easily fixed. If the phone is in your pocket and it is set to vibrate, put the phone in your pocket so you have easy access to the volume keys. When you get an incoming call, you can just hold down one of the keys to stop the phone from vibrating. If you don't like the included ringtones, you can just download another from T-Mobile.<br /><br />Overall, I really like this phone and I hope to purchase another Samsung phone very soon.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9814#review9814 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9814#review9814 Tue, 17 May 2005 21:25:40 GMT <p><i>hwg00 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I tried this phone for a little bit...

Tiny<br />2. Easy to flip open and view<br />3. Nice color screen<br />4. Robust "vibrate"<br />5. Hands-free earpiece volume good<br />6. Battery life great - charges up quickly<br />7. Hands-free can re-dial and answer and end calls. Nice, but makes the plug too sophisticated - see CON #4<br /><br />CONs:<br />1. Flat keys make it impossible to dial by touch alone - Need to look at the keypad<br />2. Earbud falls out of my ear (never had a problem with other earbuds)<br />3. In car, hands-free mike picks up road noise. I've had to cup the mike in my hand next to my mouth for people to hear me. Can't use my nice Sony hands-free with X475 because of CON #4.<br />4. Non-standard hands-free socket. Few devices will work with it. Amazon.com says, "There's also a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets." - NOT true!<br />5. Ringer volume should be much easier to adjust than it is. Need to go into menus!<br />6. Sleekness is good, but almost TOO sleek - terrified I'll drop it someday. There's practically nothing to grip. Surfaces are smooth, slippery and rounded.<br />7. NO VOICE DIALING. Rep told me X475 was far superior to my Motorola C332, and that phone had voice dialing! This phone - a new, slick phone - should have voice dialing. A major drawback to X475 if you need to drive with it. www.mobiledia.com claims this phone has "voice commands", but 2 calls to carrier have confirmed no voice dialing.<br />8. Reception cuts in and out - particularly on the road - even in metro area, full battery. Don't know if it's X475 problem or carrier problem. Several miles north of Duluth > no reception at all.<br /><br />DON'T CARE ABOUT:<br />Ring tones, IM, "T-Zones" / Internet capability, Games, No camera, No speakerphone Connectivity software.<br /><br />OTHER:<br />Got a $10 holster - says "Sydney Harbour" on the belt clip. Great accessory! Keeps phone from getting scratched. I never worry about it falling off my belt. Phone is so small I almost forget I have it on me.<br /><br />Carrier: T-Mobile<br />City: Minneapolis St. Paul metro area</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9567#review9567 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9567#review9567 Mon, 02 May 2005 15:28:40 GMT <p><i>lnatividad submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have been a Samsung phone man for the longest. This phone feels solids, has a very clear and clear screen, and sounds great. I must say that I thought the internal antenna might loose some connectivity, but so far so good, I get signal everywhere. I had the e105 and this is a great upgrade since I do not need a camera phone. The size is another great feature, since there is no external antenna, it fits perfect in my suit and jean pockets. The clamshell design is flawless. I only recommend that the external display had color and also if there was a speakerphone, this phone will get a 5.0. Hopefully Samsung will include a speakerphone soon, but with no camera!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9283#review9283 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9283#review9283 Thu, 14 Apr 2005 08:32:17 GMT <p><i>snoogit submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had a Sony Ericsson t300, so this was a big upgrade for me.

As a previous owner of a E-105 and a E-715 and now a E-315, This phone in my opinion got some goods from all those phones. The styling is great! the color seems to be a positive with all my customers as well as the size. I like that it has the updated software like the 315 and for those people who know that camera phones (IMO) are a big waste of time for most people, it provides them the upper class look without the upper class price. If I could change something I think it would be a speakerphone to blow the V-180 out of the water. I think Samsung did good with this one. I recommend this phone to most people. It's easy to use and great size with great features.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9153#review9153 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=677&r=9153#review9153 Tue, 05 Apr 2005 02:31:14 GMT <p><i>JNelson35 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-X475:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>the casing on this phone is just about the best thing it has. i purchased this phone and a second line on to my account to make voice calls. it drooped calls and faded in and out alot. also i didn't like the changes samsung has mad in the os since i last used one of their products (elo5). i live in Dallas, and most places i go it said i had a full signal but it was all ways dropping and feeding in and out during calls. also the leather case i bought to keep it in obstructed the charger from being atched properly to the device.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=677
