    CNET Review

    July 12, 2006

    The Good: The Samsung SPH-A420 is easy to use and offers a speakerphone, analog roaming, and acceptable call quality.

    The Bad: The Samsung SPH-A420 has a dull, uninspiring design and lacks such basic features as an external display and a wireless Web browser.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SPH-A420 is a serviceable phone for making calls, but it has an unattractive design and few features.

    Review Summary: Samsung's compact, entry-level handset arrives on the scene with SMS messaging, a speakerphone, voice commands, and not much else. Is it worth the monthly service fee?
