Best flip phone?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Doodlebug

I have a Samsung X426 and it sucks. I really like it but it's giving me problems. This makes my second one and, I've had this one for almost a month and the buttons already messing up, and starting to lock up like my first one did. When I called to get my second phone(the one I have now), the lady said they seem to have alot of problems with Samsung X426.

Anyone know of a good Flip phone? I'm not much on the others so prefer have a flip. I am with AT&T, incase anyone needs to know that.

Thanks!

You want a flip phone...what about the features on the phone? Do you need a camera phone? BT? Or a phone that can just make and receive calls good enough? Also the price range?

Here's a couple to try:

Low budget:
Moto V180 or V220

Medium to high:
Moto V505, Samsung E316

I haven't heard much on the LG phones, but I've tried them out in the store, and didn't care much on the audio quality.

I have an x426, and the audio is actually pretty good - Rev 1.6

Motorola V505: quad-band, camera, color screen, Bluetooth, and more. Good solid phone for the money. Replaced the problem-plagued V600.

software stuff... white screen of death, dropped calls, etc. My v505 has been flawless so far.

i haven't had any problems with my v600 so far. The problems you mentioned, are the resolveable with flashing the phone?

Seems most people resolved these problems by flashing to the new V600 firmware.

naw i wouldnt go for the V600 unless bluetooth realli is needed. Again i would go for the Moto V878 which has camera with flash and video capabilities. Its a small and very stylish fone, well atleast the white one is. Easy menus to work and not pricey at all. Less than 50 dollars with activation.

I have heard some bad stuff about the V878 tho.
and the v878 does not have the 850 band, so if you are with Rogers then it's a big thing.

I don't remember exactly but i think it's something along the lines of being really slow and the phone freezes alot in some applications. That was the reason why i went with the v600. I do still like the style of V878 because it is nice and compact, alot lighter than v600.
