Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / January 2005Samsung x427m or Motorola v220 or LG1300
I would like to switch to Cingular and will need to change phones. I am looking for a simple flip phone. I am most concerned about having good reception. I have heard/read many complaints about the Motorola v220 having bad reception. I know nothing about the LG1300. I am leaning toward the Samsung x427m because of talk/standby time and other simple features. Does anyone have this phone? How is the reception? Any other complaints? Thanks I used the X427 for a month I liked it allot it got great reception never missed a call I didnt like that it missed an outside display I have the V220 and the V180 the V220 has been a pain the V180 has been a great phone > I would like to switch to Cingular and will need to change phones.

It gets awesome reception and battery lasts forever(a week).

Any other complaints? When switching to Cingular I tried both the 427 and a moto (don't know the number). I switched back to the 427 - the button layout on the moto was 'backwards' to all other phones I used. The reception on the moto was not as good either. i have friends with a LGs some seem to like them, others don't. I haven't used one so I have no first hand feel for it. As to the outside display of the moto (and the speaker phone feature), they are good. But the 427 also has a limited outside display - an 'activity' light. Set it in the correct mode and you can see if there is a message on the screen without opening it; missed call, voice mail, and text message. I only need to open it to see the time. Oh, yes to see who is calling before I answer it.

When there is a screen message it blinks red (or orange ) rapidly. YMMV but it works for me. mike LOL........I've kept with Moto's because I think all the other mfg's have their buttons backwards <G> I've had 5 moto phones over the years, and the "send" and "off" buttons are always alike.....When I pick up someone elses phone, the buttons are backwards LOL....... >When switching to Cingular I tried both the 427 and a moto (don't know the >number).

Yup, Backwards! -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net Most Motos are indeed backwards compared to most other brands. However all Motos are not created equal. Even among their models they are not always the same!
