Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / April 2004Should I Pay $105 for the T616 or $25 for the Samsung X426?
I have been offered one of those 2 deals. I like flip phones but it's kinda a toss up. The X426 has no features except color screen. if it had an external caller ID display it would be a bit better. The T616 is supposedly an all around great phone with great features and toys like Bluetooth. Supposedly good RF. Anyways what would you? $80 doesn't seem like like that much for what you get right? > I have been offered one of those 2 deals. I like flip phones but it's > kinda a toss up.

The T616 shows on the Cingular website to be $74.99 after rebate, likely even cheaper at BestBuy. If you sign up for AT&T, in a few mnonths you'll be Cingular anyway. Beat the rush. >I have been offered one of those 2 deals. I like flip phones but it's >kinda a toss up. The X426 has no features except color screen. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Anyways what would you? $80 doesn't seem like like that much for what >you get right? My wife and I got the T616s for Christmas gifts for each other. My choice of the phones, 'cause I'm a guy and guys dig feature-laden toys. After a few months, wish I had gone with a flip phone instead. I drop the phone in my pants pocket and buttons are getting pushed. I've called people by accident a time or two. If I could do it over, I'd get a plain vanilla flip phone rather than a feature-rich phone that goes off accidently. Not having an external caller ID would be a big minus on the X426, but if it were me I'd try to find a flip fone with that feature. BTW, I got the phones for free and I regret not geting a flip fone. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>I have been offered one of those 2 deals.

Yeah it does, but I'd still rather have a flip phone. This is just a case of buyer's remorse on my part. There is nothing really wrong with the phone, just the new has worn off of it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is just a case of buyer's remorse on my part.

Moral - next phone, Buy a case for it, rather than tossing in pocket. >> This is just a case of buyer's remorse on my part.

If I could find a case for the phone that would not muffle the ringer to point where I cannot hear it or keep the vibrations from being felt, I would use it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >> This is just a case of buyer's remorse on my part.

Check: eBay Vendors in aisles of Malls actually cases designed for other phones or other things might also be useful, i.e. cigarette case. >> >> This is just a case of buyer's remorse on my part.

Will look into it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If it's only the keylock feature, I'd say you have little complains with the T616. I also am pissed that the time I was about to get the AT&T T616, they all had old versions of the firmware. Why is AT&T offereing old phones for new prices?? To Robert: I am not signing a new contract, so I don't think I could get these discounted prices. the $105 is a good price (I think) for an existing customer. I don't want to switch to Cingular because I think the AT&T plans are better now. > >I have been offered one of those 2 deals. I like flip phones but it's > >kinda a toss up.

Triple check they're not putting you under a new or extended contract. |
