Not completely satisfied. However, it's not too much of a bad phone. It's not great for many people that you can't put a picture next to the contact name. Though not many people use that feature, it's nice to have it. I loved the fact that the Moto RAZR V3 could change skins so easily. How easy is it to change skins for this one? Someone do tell, thanks.

Looked & sounded good but in actual fact was a real let down. Loved my Nokia & even though it was dying on me it had far cooler features & you could actually do stuff with it I.E. install games, find themes & skins. This thing has been a disaster because nothing seems compatible & it's near impossible to find anything that will work with it. Nice work Samsung, worst purchase ever!

This is lovely mobile... I switched over from Nokia 6670 (it got jacked by mom) & all it took me was a day & a half to get use to this mobile... Drawback is that I can't install any games on it... Also the transfer rate of the bundled USB cable is quite poor... Photo quality is good as it looks...

All in all a good mobile provided you don't tinker around much with your mobile!!

Like this phone...its pretty fair....considering the price & the features....but it seems that will not stay for long in my hands....as the satisfaction level isn't there. And moreover I cannot install games on this phone.

I love both the Samsung D820 & Samsung D800 but I have decided to wait until the D820 comes available as it has better & more features when compared to the D800, so seems worth the wait. The D820 has the added MicroSD memory slot, quad band rather than tri band network, a little lighter in weight but not noticeable I bet & video messaging which could be fun. What is the exact date that the D820 is available? Can I get it now anywhere? What is the price? Advise needed please.

I have the Samsung D500 & have been 100% happy from day one with it. I am going to upgrade to the Samsung D820 that is the next phone for me. I will stick to Samsung as the D500 has been my most reliable phone. I love the opening method so the D820 would be a natural progression for me. The screen sounds good, photo & video features should be amasing & the technology will be fast & user friendly knowing Samsung like I do. It is great it has quad band networking, Bluetooth & Edge technology with the D820. I will return to write a review after I have owned it for a few weeks. Useful information web site, thanks.
