I have only been a cell phone user for a few months. I did a lot of looking around and feel that the best buy is my Samsung X427. It has all of the little DO DADS that I need for my security. Has a great look and feel and I would say that for the money and being a first time user it comes in very handy. I only wish that I had added a face plate to dress it up a little more on the case and that it had a little more loudness control, because it is hard to hear sometimes. But Im new at this and hope I will get better as time gos on. It is small but not too small and it fits in just about anywhere that I keep it and it is very smart looking. I often get comments on it by people that see me using it or just hanging on my purse.
