I bought mine and 1 week of use now. Good as a phone and the menu is fast. Bought for its slim + 66 gm light weight. Usually put it on on shirt pocket and it didn't feel a thing. My previous pda phone is O2 mini which is fine except it is heavy and thick. Bulge in the shirt pocket. I am 57 years old and didnt feel inconvenience holding it in the hand and inputting letters. Happy with mine.

For GSM phones in US, it has got everything to do with triband or quadband.

I'm sorry about you, but Im very happy with all my samsung phones. This is a x820 forum, so if you have nothing to discuss about this model..move on!! try some other brands. you had bad luck that doesnt mean everyone will.

I do not live in the USA, I live in ASIA. I was originally from S. Korea. It does not matter what other people excuses about Samsung phones.........my own experiences with Samsung phones is that they sucks! It has absolutely nothing to do with triband or quadband!!!

@ both of you

There is absuolutely nothing worng with Samsung phones.

Pay attention. The models you used before SonyEricsson T630 (US version T637) and RAZR both supports 850mhz and 1900mhz.So you had stronger singnals.

x820 is a triband phone, it doesnt support 850 network. In the US there are many places where only 850 works.

Same goes with E770 & P300. Both are triband with 1900mhz for US only.

So either get a Quadband phone or move to city. It has nothing to do with samsung models. peace.

Pavel :-

I encounter the same problem quite a few times with my Samsung E770 & P300 before when I own those Samsung phone models.......which is one reason why I sold them & sware I shall never buy another Samsung phone anymore!!!

I had encounter another more worst problem with Samsung phone.......there is full signal showing on the screen, but in reality, there is no reception at all!!! I did missed a lot of important long distance business calls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xyz@#! to Samsung phones........they are all rubbish, period.

I bought this phone yesterday. Something must be wrong. There's absolutely "no service" or so called "limited service" ("emergency calls only", if you try to dial any number) just at the same spot where my two other phones SonyEricsson T630 and RAZR have full signal. I checked the network selection setting. It's on "automatic".
Any ideas why? The explanation that I'm stupid and don't know how to use phones is not accepted: I've had many phones before this one, and know a thing or two about how they work...
Even in the US, which in terms of mobile communication is still in the Stone Age, even compared to some developing countries...

When a phone is this thin but wide, it's not comfortable to hold for conversation. I'll give this phone a max. 6/10 vote.........not attactive at all!!!

just saw this phone and all i can say is this is not for those with small hands coz it's so wide. i thought motorola's L6/L7 was wide, this one tops them all.

Its amazing. Simply awsome. The moment you hold it in your hand you begin to feel the attraction. Sheer enjoyment. While holding this 6.9mm gadget is like holding futuristic gadget in your hand. It is exactly looks like gadgets shown in sci-fi movies.
Bye bye to heavy, bulky phones cause this phone is mere 66g in weight. Features are amazing. 2.0MP camera, 64 polyphonic tones, music player, all are good.
No more words in its honour. Strongly, very strongly recommended for Nokia users.

I brought it because it was thin. The look never impress me! The phone a bit too long & wide. The ring tone volume too quiet. There is only vib. then ring and not vib. & ring.
With some service providers, Samsung phones cannot cannot show the icon when you have your line diverted!!!

Samsung are not making good / innovative phones like they used to!!!

I have been using the phone for a week now. The battery life is not that good. It lasted for about 18 hours with a few phone calls and web browsing. I haven't tried talking on the phone for too long, but I think it'll only have about 1-1.5 hours of talk time.

It seems like there are mixed opinions on the battery life. For those of you who have the x820 what is the actual battery life?

Honestly, dont be foolish, I have the phone, its not 2 hours talk time...they wouldn't release it if that's what it was. The only big negative there is; reception on the phone is faulty...i bought three of these phones (for myself and friends), and all of us have problems with reception. The bars just jump up and down and sometimes your phone calls are lost where everyone else has perfect reception. I think they have a software issue with the phone
