X427m

The X427m released in 2004 and is virtually identical to the X427 and X426 models before it, except for slight cosmetic differences and MMS support.

Design

The X427m retains the lightweight silver polycarbonate bodies of the X426 and X427, now with an aluminum front jewel sporting the Samsung and Cingular logos. A tri-color LED also previously found on the X426 and X427 used for notifications, service status, alarms, etc is found below the antenna. The interior of the phone has the 128x160 TFT LCD display, earpiece, and keypad, with the Cingular logo now adorning the select button, instead of the M-Mode and I icons on the previous models’ select buttons.

Reviews

The SGH-X427m has a consumer rating of 3 out of 5 stars on Cnet. The phone was described as not being a full feature phone but being small and light weight. [2]
