Samsung SGH D900

...from 'The Smoke'. HELLO, SAMSUNG - Finding a deal Following a link from the incentive website, www.themutual.net I quickly found myself at the door of www.Carphonewarehouse.com. This move alone is going to earn me around £15 in cash back. There amongst their special offers was a Samsung D900, linked to O2's £35/month tariff, but which has a much more generous 600 minutes and 400 texts built in. At that kind of rate, using the mobile instead of ...
...metal matt finished V3, the Samsung disappoints slightly by being hi-gloss and matt plastic only. The first thing I intend to do is get a hard crystal cover for it before it gets scratched - next stop e-bay. FEATURES I always feel like I'm on a "hiding to nothing", writing about a cell-phone. For a start I'm really the most basic of users who wants to make a few phone calls and maybe to make a few text messages - but just try finding a phone without ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

...and i have to say Samsung phones are easiest to text. All the functions of predictive text and normal input is installed. one of the function i have never seen was the Vivid messaging where you type certain word, it changes to emoticon. For example, the word Happy is changed to Smiling Face. Although, it doesn't save sent messages automatically but you can save them by 'Save and Send' when you are about to send a text to someone. In my opinion, i ...
...received text and don't delete them for like a month and sent messages gets in the way of keeping my texts although you can keep 200 texts at the maximum. One of the weird function that i found was where you link the charger and you link this on the side of the phone where you also put the earphone which i found quite awkward. On the other hand, linking on the side is quite useful because it tucks away all the charger cables to the side and its easier ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

...own the O2 exclusive Chrome Samsung D900. Ok now for the review, i will try to lay it out in sections to make it easy to read and understand; 1. Looks- Until recently the looks of a phone was not my top concern, I was more interested in what the thing could actually do!! Well as I mentioned before I have the chrome version of this phone, I didn't like it when I seen the looks of it in the shop.. but now it has grown on me and I love it. It is not ...
...In my opinion Samsung have done an outstanding job in this department.. it seems to be what they do best. 2.5. Weight - Not at all weighty.. what else can I say.. one of the lightest I would imagine.. kind of to expected though with its size. 3. Quality / strength- When I was looking at this phone I was worried about how strong this could be with its sleek profile.. not having actually ever broken one I cant tell you how strong it is.. but from feeling ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

...through the spec of the Samsung D900, it initially seemed to satisfy all of these criteria. Unsurprisingly I wasted no time in buying it. Would it ultimately prove to be the ideal phone? Camera ====== Starting with one of the most important details - the D900's camera is a 3 Megapixel, which along with the Ericsson K800i, was one of the first to boast this standard. The quality of pictures is quite high when pictures are taken in bright daylight ...
...However, in dim settings, the phone struggles to take a crisp picture. The autoflash does not do much to enhance pictures and they occasionally come out blurry. Furthermore, when you press the button to take the picture it can normally take a while for the picture to capture, which is a huge frustration, because your subject matter may have moved in that time, and you are left with a mediocre and unfocused picture. This is a significant flaw. Video ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

The Samsung D900 made its first appearance in the last quarter of 2006, as part of a release by samsung as the "ultra" series. This consisted of the worlds slimmest 'candybar' style phone, the slimmest 'flip' phone and of course the D900 - the worlds slimmest Slider phone. Of course speculation of the phone was highlighted when it first came out as the disappointment of the motorola razr was still fresh in peoples minds. Their slim series of phones ...
...with other equally impressive functions. Samsung were still able to hold up their reputation as a classy business phone practical for the office, or whatever your needs. The handset itself came in a slim box, and it did lack the extras I hoped for. It only came with a wired headset, charger, manual and a USB cable with the appropriate software. Although this can be seen as sufficient, I did hope for more! However this small disappointment went away ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

...keeping in line with the Samsung logo on the front. I was pleased with how it looked. Apart from the fact it did seem bigger than what i was expecting. There is also a small ridge on the front of the phone, this is to make it easy to slide up and down. But, it doesn't really work very well. When you slide it up the 'up' arrow tends to get pressed by mistake alot, and a small error message flashes onto the screen. I have found it easier not to use ...
...marks on my screen. Also, when the phone was up, it felt as if it was quite flimsy and plasticky, and that it would break quite easy. Though now it does seem quite durable. Because it was my first really nice, stylish phone i was very aware of this problem, and was cautious with it. After a while, i realised that the phone was quite small, it was just that i was expecting it to be smaller, and it definitely grew on me. PERFORMANCE - The inbox of ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

There are a couple of different versions of this phone available, the one I am going to review is the ultra slim one available on Vodafone. My partner got this phone on an 18 month contract with Vodafone costing £40 a month and gets 500 any network any time minutes and 1000 texts. This phone is pretty good, it looks smart and has a lot of good features. The phone is a sliding one with the dimensions being 103.5x51x12.9mm and it is lightweight weighing ...
...but this can be expanded further by adding a memory card. My partner has a 512mb one and finds that this gives enough memory for everything with some to spare. CAMERA ~~~~~~~~ The 3 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom takes great pictures and can also be used to record video. There are some fun camera options where you can add frames and items to your pictures e.g glasses, hats, flowers etc. There is no night mode on the camera so it is no good ...

...style. I truly believe that Samsung are the current market leaders when it comes to there products looks. DURABILITY: Its a tough little cookie !!!! I have had mine for 10 months and it has hardly got a scratch on it. Considering it gets thrown about, chucked on the desk, dropped and stuck in my jacket pocket along with my keys and doesn't have a case on it, its in extremely good condition. EASE OF USE Everything seems to be in order. Navigation ...
...challanging the mobile phone market, I don't know if its just me, but I could only use A Nokia. Most of the main functions are accessible with the touch of two buttons at the most with all the main features just requiring the one touch. MAKING AND RECIEVING CALLS: As easy as 1..2..3..Nice easy to press buttons (although I have read reports of people struggling with the bottom three buttons, just something to check for yourself I think). Each dialled ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

I bought this phone 1-2 weeks after its release and I have still had it since, this phone is great:- - 3 megapixel phone - Java games (online and offline) - Ease of text messaging, - Great slimphone - Stylish, Easy to use Keypad - Slides to reveal keypad - Small Picture Sizes for Camera Pictures stored on phone and more... I have been on holiday and stored many video's and pictures I have taken and recorded on this phone whilst on holiday, ...
...Memory Card a few weeks into having it. It may take a little while to get used to all the features, depending on if you are new to the latest mobile phone's or not. I have had one slide phone before, and that was particularly impressive for its time, being the original matrix used phone (well not actually in the film), but I have to say the D900 is much better in comparison. The D900 fits smugly into your pocket, it has a small speaker to listen ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

...after being enticed by the Samsung D900 advert on TV, I finally took the plunge and ordered the phone. The Phone is sleek and stylish, it's slim so it perfectly slides in and out of you're jeans pockets without giving it a bit of a budge. Holding the handset in my palm of the hand couldn't be no comfier, the back of the phone has a strong grip so even with sweaty hands, it would be impossible for this phone to slip, unlike other mobile phones made ...
...Video Recording, as other previous Samsung Models lacked. The TFT Screen was a great improvement to the Samsung Mobiles, slightly larger however consisting of more colours giving it that vibrant factor, all the colours displayed really showed their true colours. The sound of the ringtones were satisfactory, one thing with Samsung Phones they have basic and boring ringtones, however you can easily set up your own MP3 ringtone again the quality wasn't ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

Samsung does it again. This is a fantastic up to date phone that im not embarrased to get out of my pocket. Its around £120-£150 in high street shops,though i must add that i walked past O2 the phone store,and in the window was a great offer for the samsung SGH-D900 on a £35 per month tariff for 18 months,i could get 600 minutes anytime talk,500 texts and saturdays,sundays and mondays talk for free.plus a free ipod shuffle mp3 player. ABOUT THE ...
...slider to open the phone and the fact that the phone is so slim,it fits great into any handbag and for the gents its great in your back pocket.It comes in two great colours black and silver,i got the silver and in my opinion it looks better than the black.I would say its about 9cm in length when shut and 12cm when open.The thickness i would say is if you can imagine a dvd film case its about that and alittle less when slid open. The only downside ...

...been captured and fixed by samsung before the phone was released. For example on editing a contact you get the error message "Invalid Date" as there is a birthday field on each contact which doesn't default to a valid date. Other things in the menu seem to greyed out for no real reason, there are workarounds but they aren't obvious. A negative here. Battery Life. Not great. You might get 3 days out of it if it's not being used much but will be ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

After reading a lot of reviews when trying to buy a new phone recently, I finally settled on the D900 on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm glad I did. It's sleek and stylish and packed with many features which I'm still discovering nearly 3 months on. The design itself is very nice, and it's easy to handle. The key pad is nicely spaced out, the only downside being the lip at the bottom of the pad - people with bigger hands may find using the ...
...easy thing to master (I've had motorola phones and have found the transition pretty simple) as well as changing the settings on your phone to suit your needs. The best option the phone has to be the addition of a memory card slot, this allows you to add a huge amount of songs for the built in MP3 player - of which the sound is of a high quality. The phone comes with a USB cable so you can transfer your files with ease. The built in camera is also ...

Review of Samsung SGH D900

I brought this phone as I was after another one since the joystick button on my Sony Ericsson had broke. So I eventually persuaded my Mum & Dad to buy me it for my birthday. I was dead set on this one so I searched many different websites to try and find the cheapest. I found the cheapest on t-mobile.co.uk. It was priced at £119.99, but to order it from them, you HAD to pay an extra £10 for airtime (credit), which I was fairly annoyed about as I ...
...phone is priced at approx £150 from many stores, for example, in Argos, it is £149.99. ---THE PHONE I chose the black model but I think you can also buy it in chrome, dark blue and pink. It is ultra-slim and I am never ashamed to get it out in public! As you can see from the picutres, it is a "slidey" phone with your basic buttons at the front, such as, answer/end calls, the clear/cancel button, power button,selection buttons and the Ok button, ...

Having owned Sony Erricson's, this phone takes a bit of getting used to! There's lots to say, and I don't want to bore you, so I'll be succinct: Likes: -Mines pink - gorgeous! -Lovely sliding action -Vivid colours -Nice text animations -Good sized keys -Facility to scroll through messages when reading one by scrolling right or left -Good ring volume -Good qualite pictures from camera -Lovely and slim -Large screen Dislikes: -Flimsy cover ...
...- too many things to do to send it. I just want to text and send! Not as good as Sony for this -Battery life poor when using camera, surfing net etc -Takes a while to charge -Can't set own tune to text alert -Camera bit overcomplicated for my liking -Outbox totally pointless - found something in it once and have no idea how it got there! -Manual past useless -Took me ages to find full set of punctuation (press and hold hash!) -Games are poor ...
