    I’ve had this phone for several months now on Cingular’s network. I bought it unlocked from overseas as the Samsung x820. I believe mine is only triband and has no expansion card slot. Those were the only two big negatives and they’ve been dealt with on T-Mobiles version. I’ll be hunting for an unlocked version soon.

    The phone is surprisingly durable. It’s so light weight that through numerous 3-4 ft. drops onto concrete/asphault there have been no issues (not even much scratching). The phone didn’t even reboot. I’ve abused this phone much more than my previous phones and it takes the wear much better.

    The music player is only so so as pointed out in the review. The camera is pretty good, but for an absolutley stunning camera you should try Samsung’s d900 slider. It’s 3 megapixels with a flash and takes great pictures. I still like the light weight advantage of the x820/t519. It truly disappears in ones pocket.

    good luck

    I got this phone for my birthday last month, and I love it! It fits everywhere, pockets, purses, anywhere! All of it’s capabilities are outstanding! The only bad thing about this phone is the camera, all of its pictures are fuzzu=y and dim! But overall I give it an 8!

    well i got this phone about a month ago. its really cool. the pictures come out really clear. its very wide though. but its still a very nice slim phone and fits in my pocked without bein noticeable. i just purchased a micro sd memory card but it would not fit into the phone. i was very mad. i payed over a hundred dollars fot it too.

    I had this phone for all of about 6 hours before I accidentally dropped it (3 feet from ground). It broke the internal LCD which made it inoperable. I don’t recommend ever dropping your phone, but it happens and this phone couldn’t take the knocks.

    I got this phone a month ago and it is my first phone. Today i bought a SD micro memory card but I have a feeling it doesn’t work. So be careful about that. The camera and the pics are very clear.

    It is a great phone but has some pretty stupid aspects. When you are on the menu screen and you use thevolume button on the side of the phone, you can not change it to vibrate and silent. You have change the mode. Also you can not turn the camera sound off. It gets pretty annoying. Other than those two measly things, it is a tight phone. Great video and picture capabilties

    I thought I would like this phone when I bought it but I was wrong. This has to be the biggest waist of money I have ever spent. The sound quailty is nothing campared to the free phone I had before. I also accidently dropped my phone not long after I got it and my screen got screwed up. Another thing that bothers me is that the wireless store neglected to tell me the batter life on this phone SUCKS!! The phone is lucky to stay charged for 3 days before it dies, but i guess you learn from your mistakes.

    The camera is amazingly clear, great for sending pics quickly via email nd pic messaging. Unfortunatly this phone is tooo delicate to even compete with the camera…one drop and thats it. the phone is very thin, but can slip out of your hands too easily. Had this phone for 4months before it was time to get a new one.

    This phone is small, but I have dropped it and not even a scratch on it. The camera is amazing, and they also sell protective covers for it. The menu is easy to navigate.

    Best phone I ever bought (next to the iPhone).

    Everything is perfect. It is a bit elicate but it lasted a long time.
