Samsung SGH D900

Advantages: Very compact, well designed. Excellent camera definition. 4-band.
Disadvantages: Plasticky when you've been used to the construction of a Moto V3. Text outbox useless

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: great look, 3megapixel camera,
Disadvantages: plasticky feeling

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Slim-line, attractive, good price and clear sound quality.
Disadvantages: Camera and Video quality could be better, but is still of a good standard.

...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 ... Read review

Advantages: camera, user friendly
Disadvantages: erm none

...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 ...

Advantages: All the functions of a big phone but without the size
Disadvantages: tempermental camera

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and stylish
Disadvantages: Flash problems and Text messaging sounds

...A stylish, slim line, attractive mobile phone, with excellent picture quality and fantastic sound quality. The look of the phone is extremely stylish, and is light to hold, without feeling like it might break in your hand. It does not sit too heavily either and can eaily be navigated through by just using the one hand. The features are excellent, by far the best Samsung have had so far (in my opinion anyway). The camara is 3 megapixels which is better than most other brands and the quality is just amazing. Even without the flash (the only disadvantage I have found that the flash is not automatic and you have to go through a menu to get to it.) There is plenty of storage in built and you can also buy SD memory cards in different sizes. (I wanted one free with the phone, but alas, they would not give me one) The music player is fantastic...

Advantages: stylish, easy to use
Disadvantages: camera not brilliant

...The Samsung D900i has a very sophisticated and fashionable design. It has a large sreen and a slide open feature to reveal the keypad with buttons big enough that you can press seperatly without pressing 2 or 3 at one time! which can be very annoying Camera The phone features 3mp camera with auto focus and a flash. I would not recommend this camera as a main source of taking photos, however it is good to take quick shots on the go to store as your screen saver. There are different options when taking a photo including black & white, sepia, negative, emboss sketch, antique, moonlight and fog. You can also edit photos with a choice of frames, emotions and icons i.e. clown nose, glasses etc. Photos can be transferred to PC via the cable that is included. Music Player The phone has a built in MP3 Player with a moderate size memory... Read review

Disadvantages: Camera may not be as good as others

...My new mobile phone ************************* I currently have a phone contract with O2, with the contract about 10 months ago I got a Nokia N73, I chose this as I had always had Nokia and they work the same so I knew my way around or so I thought…… but maybe not, to cut a long story short O2 have messed up a few of my bills and every time they try rectify this its still not correct so a few weeks ago my husband called them and complained and to keep me as one of their valued customers they agreed to upgrade me early. My husband knew that I had been wanting a pink phone and as I was out at the time he chose the Samsung SGH-D900i in a very girly pink, although a little apprehensive that it was Samsung and I had not used one before I was willing to give it a fair chance especially as the Nokia N73 took a little getting used to and I...
