Samsung D900 Review

Look and Feel

The Samsung D900 is beautifully designed and feels great to handle for such a slim handset. Its shiny black front and matt black back really look the part. However, the solid base of the phone does impede the slide action.

Features

A three-megapixel camera with auto focus puts the Samsung D900 in the camphone elite. The music player plays the usual track types, and a microSD card slot offers storage space. Bluetooth connectivity, quad-band and Samsung's own vivid messaging make up the list.

Ease of Use

The slide action could be better - you don't want to be cancelling incoming calls by mistake. The camera, camcorder and music player are all straightforward, although the more complicated settings may take some time to learn.

Performance

Pictures come out really well from the Samsung D900's high-resolution camera, and the 262,000-colour screen shows these and camcorder clips off to fine effect.

Battery Life

The Samsung D900 offers a reasonable talktime of 390 minutes, although the standby time of 260 isn't quite so good.
