Samsung D840 Review
The Samsung D840.

| Avg user rating:
The Samsung D840 is a nice enough metallic slider, but doesn't feel as pleasing as the phone it was released to compete with, the LG Shine. The slide action works smoothly.
A two-megapixel camera, EDGE technology for near-download speeds, Bluetooth and TV-out connectivity, a music player with A2DP software for connection to Bluetooth headsets, and 80MB of memory are all stuffed into the Samsung D840's chassis.
The Samsung D840 features a monochrome user interface and useful on-screen sub-menus to show the user what is in each menu section, making navigating a breeze.
Music lacks warmth from the supplied in-ear speakers, although A2DP software means you can use Bluetooth speakers if you wish. Photos taken with the built-in camera are distinctly average. However, the QVGA-quality screen is stunning, with bright, clear colours.
The 168 minutes' talktime offered by the Samsung D840 doesn't set the heart racing. Make sure you are never far from your charger.
Pros: Just like the D900, it is a pleasure to use and handle.
Cons: Its signature Ultra slider design can't compete with the more stylish LG Shine.

Verdict: Samsung hasn't moved the D840's design on enough to excite.
