Hi, I have my phone in front of me, my cellular phone. And, you know, I got it after, after my contract was up, and I wanted a new phone 'cuz my other one kinda broke. So I was looking around and, you know, I decided on this one 'cuz it was pretty cheap. I actually got it for fifty bucks. It was $100, $50 rebate, which I got the rebate back in two to three weeks; I got the fifty dollar check, so that was good. This phone cost me about fifty bucks. This is a Samsung X495. Samsung X495. My service is T-Mobile but, you know, this phone comes in other services, too. So I began, uhm, as I had, I had it for about a couple of months, and I actually like it a lot. I like it better than any of my other phones because you know why? It has an internal antenna, and that's so handy and so useful, and such a great feature that you couldn't believe. Every time before, and my friends' antenna breaks, a really long antenna, it breaks. No service, no reception, nothing. This is internal; you don't have to worry about that. The phone is nice. I mean, it's not gonna break. You could drop it, I mean; I'd drop it for you. This phone won't break. It's sturdy and it's good. I mean, as you can see, I have, you know, wallpaper, whatever, I have a calendar which is actually really nice. I haven't seen that on any other phones, it's a calendar. You can do anything on it. I mean, you know, it has your normal phone book. I'm not gonna say, oh phone book, every phone has that, that's, who cares about that? The only thing that this phone does not have a camera, where I really don't care about that, I don't really need a camera. And this phone does not have one. Maybe if you want a camera on your phone, look elsewhere, or look for a different model. There are phones like this with, you know, just a higher model or lower model. I think a higher model has a camera, or if you want, but...I think only this one, and a few more, really don't have the antenna which I think is probably very important 'cuz it just won't break, you can't break it. It has many features. It has, let me see here. Voice mail with all that, it has T-zones. What T-zones are actually a, you can go on the antenna with this phone and you could download wallpaper, ring tones, games, anything you want. It has games on it, one second, sorry about that. It has games on it, it has instant messenger. If you don't know what that is, that's a, you could actually talk live pretty much with a buddy of yours that also has instant messenger, you know, like AOL instant messenger. You could, you know, instantly message a friend of yours or something like that. Uhm, let's see what else. It has an organizer, and that's about it. I mean, you know, a phone is a phone. A phone is used to call. I mean, I'm not really into all these features. I like a phone for good reception, which this phone definitely has. And it won't break, you can see it has it has no antenna. It's very sturdy, compact, small, too. And, you know, it's a flip phone, and that's all I can say about it. I mean, the battery lasts for days. I could use this phone for like a couple hours a day, and has to recharge it maybe twice a week, so it's a really good feature with this. This is the Samsung X495. And for a fifty dollar phone, you can't go wrong with this.
