Samsung Sgh D900 review
Posted January 4th, 2007 by Alex Ion
This is a slim slider extreme Samsung cellphone, already on the market. The battle for the slimmest mobile phone is extreme, and as it looks like the cellphones have gone on a diet with the Motorola RAZR V3, the slim cases became more and more popular.
The Samsung D900 was initially going to launch as D870 first time presented in March at the CeBIT fair last year and then they decided to name it D900.
The phone is almost as big as a credit card, being the flatter D600. It’s only 13mm thick. It has great dimensions 103.5 x 51 being only 13mm thick. The display is big, with 256k colors and with the dimensions 32 x 42 mm.
The main features of the Samsung Sgh D900 which in fact are the advantages of buying that phone are
- first and first is the slim 13mm stylish design
- extraordinary display : QVGA resolution
- virtually perfect keypad – easy to use
- super 3megapixel camera with auto focus
- 1000 multi-field phonebook entries
- 60 MB internal memory (up to 1Gb with microSD cards)
- GPRS and EDGE Class 10 and Bluetooth
- TV out and mp3 player
- Applications for viewing Office documents
But of course critics should say the disadvantages of the cellphone either. Therefore, read below
- tougher slider
- no 3G
- cannot save images directly to the memory card
- no infrared port
- no ringing profiles
- cannot transfer Java applications via Bluetooth
- cannot filter calls
- needed activation to visualize missed events
Though it has a great camera the phone is a bit far from the best photography cellphones which are Sony Ericsson K800 or Nokia N73. It won’t have clear details and the color saturation is far too high. Also if you don’t have enough light the pictures will blur.
The price for the Samsung Sgh D900 is quite expensive. It costs about 300 euros (can be found at about 400 dollars too). You should think really well before acquiring this phone. The stylish design and the main key features are being compensated by the disadvantages of the mobile phone, but overall it’s a very good phone.
