ILovemyphone2's review of the Samsung SGH-T209 / X495 / X497 / X496

Great Phone
This is a great basic flip phone for a first phone or someone who doesn't want all the extra features of some phones of the time. ...Sadly mine went through the wash! I was so sad! I had to get a replacement phone, which in my opinion wasn't as good as this phone. I kept the X495 without using it for a few years and, amazingly, it dried out and is working like new now...I would use it but I wanted a camera so I got a Moto W490 a few years ago. I still miss my little X495 but I wanted a camera...If only the X495 Had a camera...
-Pros:
-Flip Phone
-Tough (Went through the washing machine and dried out)
-Easy to use
-You can customize the dialing numbers to be rainbow colored. I don't know why but I like that.
-Cons:
-Not a lot of features (Lacks a camera)
-Thick when flip is closed (Of course that was common back then)
-I can't remember too great but it seems like the battery died quickly. I think I had to charge it every night.
Overall:
Great little phone for a beginner or someone who doesn't want all the features the new phones have and just want a phone. I wish it wasn't discontinued or that they were selling newer versions of it.
I would surely recommend this phone.
