The Good: This quad-band world flip-phone has two displays, a simple interface and a slim, light and compact design.  It supports web browsing and e-mail, and is able to play videos received via MMS.  The rubberized keys make dialing easy, and the large address book provides storage room for up to 1000 contacts.

The Bad: The plastic casing of the phone feels cheap and insecure, and the lack of a camera makes the photo Caller-ID function somewhat pointless.  The external 0.8” display is hard to read, and the 3MB internal memory is prohibitively small.  The talk time of just 5 hours is fairly standard. The games included on the phone are only demos and require additional payment to download full versions.

The Bottom Line: This is a phone that is definitely overpriced, yet with a feature set aimed at those who want something cheap and simple.  The Samsung SGH-X507 is a real let down compared to other models in the Samsung range.
