Phone is amazing. Best phones I have ever had. However, screen just randomly cracked TWICE in 12 months.

A friend with the same phone also had this problem.

I dropped it many times, from a good height onto a rock hard floor & it never cracked or got damaged.

Then on two separate occasions, I took the phone out my pocket & the screen was cracked.

Now looking at the new Samsung Soul.

SAMSUNG are NUMBER 1.

This phone is quite nice, it feels quite solid. I upgraded from a Sony Ericsson W300i. I have so say that not all the features are wholly intuitive. It took me some time to get used to texting.

I also wish that I could set the message tone to a MP3 like my last phone. Instead, I am stuck with 4 presets.

Performance is sluggish with a 1GB card. It is worse when trying to view pictures (400KB) on the memory card, there is a multi second delay in scrolling in the menu.

The MP3 is very nice. I prefer the sound to the W300i.

The camera is a 50 50 ordeal. Photo quality is very nice & the flash does its job, but the shutter lag is very frustrating.

USB connection is very slow. It took me three hours to upload photos to the phone.

I have had this phone for 18 months & I have had absolutely no problems at all with it. & to all those who complain that it's not very durable & that the screen cracks too easily, I say that if you are at all likely to be careless or heavy handed with a phone, you probably shouldn't buy a slide phone but should stick to the more solid, brick type of phone that doesn't have any moving parts!

My only criticism of the D900 is that the volume of the MP3 player is too low & the sound is very tinny.

I have had this phone for over 12 months now & it has always worked well.

I got the D900 red version & so many people have seen my phone & wanted the same one as it is so different to the standard black or silver phones.

I have dropped this phone so many times & it just seems to bounce & never get damaged. I have read many reviews on here saying how the screen is poor & easily cracked, I have never had this issue & I am really not sure what some people do with their phones!

The SD card slot & headphone slot covers are still intact & don't break off unless you are particularly rough, constantly fiddle or play with these I can't see how they would break off.

I upgraded from a Samsung D500 (which I loved) & this felt a lot wider than my previous phone. This didn't take long to get used to though & my previous phone looks a bit like an old fashioned brick now!

The phone is so easy to use & if you get your short cut settings set up properly on your screen then you will rarely have to search through the menus in the phone for text messages, photos & alarm clock etc.

I will probably get another Samsung phone when I next upgrade as they have always proven to me to be reliable & sturdy long lasting phones. My mum now has my previous D500 & its still going strong (3 years later! ) she now has her eye on my red one though waiting for me to upgrade!

I have to say though I would be reluctant to change from this phone though. It is a very good phone.

Hi all, I originally purchased one of these phones when they very first arrived on the scene, & I must admit, apart from the nifty sliding mechanism & the style of the phone, there wasn't really much in it as far as I could see. Until 7 months down the line I was sending a text message & the screen CRACKED!

Now, as the screen cracking was apparently my fault!? I couldn't get a replacement phone under warranty. Anyhow, it was either going to be £60 for a new screen or £80 for a new phone, & so I chose the latter option.

Now, this is the best bit, after owning the phone for just five weeks. This time, the screen did not crack, only the picture kept on flipping upside down, disappearing altogether & generally playing up, until around an hour later, black bars were drifting up & down the pixels!

Fantastic I thought what a letdown & guess what? I can't get a refund or an exchange phone as it is over 30 days old & so has been sent for repair & should be back within 7 to 10 days. Remind me NEVER to get another Samsung phone again! As soon as it returns it is being sold to buy a Nokia again! Better sticking to what I know will work!

Pros. Great looking phone.

Cons. Slow GPRS & WAP. Short battery life during normal use. Very slow camera! Don't even think about taking a photo of anything that is even moving in the slightest! Another point about the camera is that the LED flash is useless unfortunately delicate screen!

Well I have been sat here the last week while reading reviews on the d900, I am coming to the end of my contract & looking into the g800.

I don't know what to say but this has phone has been old faithful to me! First three days after delivery I dropped her in water but she came right as rain. I have never once had a screen issue it is, has not cracked or broken or marked, I previously had d500 & its ribbons went in a matter of week. My z400 was a great little phone to with no problems at all.

This phone never let me down, not on battery life, not on picture quality, not on calling quality. I live in remote country side & always seem to have a signal whether it's the d900 or Orange I do not know. My little girl is always playing with it & taking pictures so it's had a few drops & bashes, you would never know.

I would recommend this phone to anyone, it's definitely a bargain on prepay £69.99! I may just forget the contract & keep this faithful phone.

I have had this phone about 7 months & I would say it is an excellent phone. It is well built & the screen does NOT crack easily, I drop mine all the time. After having my old phone Motorola KRZR for a week & the screen cracked I wanted a phone that would be able with stand the general wear & tear that happens to all phones this one is perfect.

I would recommend it to all, especially teenagers, who tend to be careless like myself.

Reviewer: Daisy - Yorkshire, UK
Date: 29th Mar 2008

Read all the earlier reviews before getting this phone, & had it since April 2007. I can honestly say it's great. No screen cracks or problems, no issues with its use during texting or phone calls etc.

Very sleek, smooth operations, sliding operation never failed or broken, lightweight & lovely! It has been used to its limit & never fails me.

Only problem would be the shutter speed on the camera & I wouldn't use it as a replacement for your regular camera, only as a backup.

All in all it gets 9.5 out of 10 from me & I am going to miss it when I change my contract next month.

Reviewer: Gypson - London, UK
Date: 25th Mar 2008

I've owned the D900 since the week of its launch back in 2006 so have had a fair amount of experience using the handset.

The first one I got given, the screen broke in my pocket from nothing more than a nudge, since replacing the phone I have always ensured to face the screen inwards when carrying in my pocket.

So usability & design, yes the phone is easy enough to navigate for anybody even slightly technically minded. However the keypad has a lip which although you get used to can be annoying at first when texting etc.

Features, this phone has below par features. Camera is rubbish with extremely slow shutter speeds & photos produced pale in comparison with others, namely Sony Ericsson's. The other features of the phone are also lacking or half arsed when compared to other similar range mobiles.

Although my phone is still in functional order I am selling it to replace with the S.E K770i. The main reason for this is the D900 has terrible signal compared to other phones. I have compared on numerous occasions with people with other phones of different manufacturers & have found the D900 to be consistently worse. Also the camera is terrible as aforementioned, & not worth even bothering with unless outside in broad daylight capturing a static object.

Don't buy a D900. Get a Sony Ericsson or anything but a Samsung!

Absolutely terrible phone, it broke within 3 days when in my pocket, got replacements three times & none of them have lasted more than a week. The screen breaking while in my pocket, not even worth considering.

This phone is a marvel. I live in Hampstead, now London. The area is generally notorious for black spots for all networks. In my flat, I always get poor signal (Vodafone & Orange) which 90% of the time will end with a broken call. So far I've used Sony, Motorola & HTC, all can't hold a call due to the poor signal. NOT however the D900 this thing seems to have a strong connection & very rarely loses the call! I am truly amazed that such a slender phone has more power when it comes to signal than the hefty Sony P990 & HTC TyTn (M3100).

This is a great little phone. Strongly recommended.

Reviewer: David - UK
Date: 7th Mar 2008

Apparently the poor battery life that some people have with the D900 is caused by cracked resin & requires the main board to be replaced.

Until recently, Samsung's line was it was not a manufacturing defect & so not covered by their warranty, but apparently there has been a recent internal policy update & they seems to have now recognised that they do have a design & manufacturing problem.

I sent my phone off for repair because of poor battery life some time ago & they refused to do it under warranty & said I would have to pay to have the broken phone returned to me & so I just left it with them.

Then the other day, out of the blue, my phone was returned fixed with the line about the 'recent internal policy update'. The battery life is excellent now.

I'd recommend anyone who has poor battery life to claim under the warranty. Personally I won't be buying a Samsung again because I found their customer service to be appalling.

This phone is good but be careful! The phone breaks very easy! I dropped it in a puddle & the flash & the volume buttons never worked for ages. & when they did start to work again it fell out of my pocket & the screen smashed!

Reviewer: D900owner - Uk, UK

I have now had this phone for a year & I have had absolutely no problems. The slight downers are.

- Can't change the theme.
- Lack of memory.
- Games.

If you look after your phone properly then of course the screen won't snap so don't believe everything you here. This phone has served me well over the last year. Highly recommended.

Hello, I have not used the Samsung D900 really, I own the Samsung E250 heaps of friends say it's the best they saw & that the Samsung E250 is rubbish they all prefer a D900 WELL I DON'T. I think the Samsung d900 is similar to a Samsung E250, anyway!

Reviewer: Martin Smith - Lordswood, UK
Date: 25th Feb 2008

I have had the d900 for about 9 months now & I think it is a good phone, it has a good camera & video although when take video sometimes the video is small on the phone & not full screen but apart from that no problem with the video.

In terms of music & sounds the main problem is that the phone is only compatible with up to 515MB memory card otherwise if use any higher the phone becomes slow. However unable to have real songs as text messaging tune which is a letdown.

I think the build quality of the phone is superb as mine has been dropped so many times by mistake but apart from few odd scratches the phone still works as good as new.

Overall the phone is good & I would recommend it.

Reviewer: Lins - West Yorks, UK
Date: 22nd Feb 2008

I think this phone is quite easy to use, I am really bad at reading instructions & I am not sure I ever did! I just played around a lot till I got it to do what I wanted! It's quite robust because I've dropped it loads of times, I have had it 17months & it's still in one piece! The only thing I don't like is the fact that when I send a text it says it's sent it to the wrong person, but it hasn't, that's really annoying. The ring tones & text alerts are RUBBISH, surely by now Samsung could come up with something better, having said all that, I still love it & it's the only phone I've ever had that I am considering replacing with the same one!

I don't know whether to get this phone or not. Some people say it's great & I am sure it is but some people say it's a waste of money. It looks great & I want it a lot but if the screen cracks after a couple weeks then I don't want it. I don't know whether to get it or not. Some people say the battery life is good & some say it's bad. Help me decide please. Any help is much appreciated thanks.

Reviewer: Sonya - Preston, UK
Date: 18th Feb 2008

I've had this phone for 18 months & I love it, although I have had to have it repaired twice. First time, the ribbon needed replacing (warranty), other time screen cracked & I had to fork out £50. So it's not very durable but I do like the phone. It's slim & the camera is good. I have just upgraded to a Samsung g800, what a mistake! It feels like I've downgraded, not upgraded, the photo quality is very poor & I am wondering whether its faulty? So it's going back.

All in all the D900 is a fab phone & I would recommend it. I suspect there is an issue with the screen cracking though so I am hoping mine doesn't go again.

Reviewer: Thomas - Preston, UK

I had this phone for a year & half & it's great. The only problem with the phone I had was it used to switch its self of until I got new software for the phone off the Internet.

Reviewer: Aly - UK

I had thought this phone was great. Then for no reason the screen went blank with lines on it. I am 6 months into a contract with O2 so sent the phone back. O2 insist I have dropped it which I haven't & want £70 to fix it! I have been on contract with 02 for 12 years & now they don't want to know. My Samsung d500 was much better quality. I am going to write to watchdog & urge other unhappy d900 owners to do the same.

Reviewer: Sharon - UK
Date: 6th Feb 2008

What a waste of money! Don't buy a D900 as the quality is not satisfactory at all. This was meant to be a premium mobile but screen cracks very easily. This should be a issue for trading standards as this is not durable & not fit for its purpose (a mobile device). I can't believe I was silly enough to get locked into an 18 month contract with this phone & I've still got 6 months to go. I have no phone as Samsung want to charge me £47 & I am still paying for my contract even though I haven't used it for over a month. Samsung's attitude is it must be your fault. They need to accept that there is a screen issue here else there wouldn't be so many people complaining. What a shame as I have always had Samsung mobile phones & NEVER had a problem before. I will never buy a Samsung again.

Well I think I got that off my chest now!

Reviewer: Myles - UK
Date: 2nd Feb 2008

How can anyone say this phone is good?

This is the worst phone I have ever had to put up with. The screen is so close to the casing, I have read hundreds of other people talking about how they've cracked the screen. The ribbons inside the phone are terrible, my menu buttons don't work because of the deteriorating ribbons. You can't choose your own tunes as your message tones. You can't have your own themes. The memory card slot breaks & doesn't read the card. It has the worst battery life ever! Please, I warn you, don't buy this phone, it would be the biggest mistake of your life! Unfortunately, I have to put up with this phone for another 4 months, as I am on contract.

---

Reviewer: Hammy - Nottingham, UK
Date: 1st Feb 2008

Unless you want a broken phone within a few weeks please avoid this phone & the D900i.

In just over 4 weeks my LCD screen cracked & it seems I am not the only one to have suffered from this, the company attitude is that anyone who has had their screen cracked has either dropped or misused their phone, it seems the screen is a fragile thing.

So it seems that when you are sat down & gently closing the phone that's abusing or misusing the phone.

I have had my D900 now for over a year & have had absolutely no problems with it. The camera & MP3 are both fantastic! The phone has survived being thrown down my tarmac driveway on more than one occasion & being left in a puddle! A truly fantastic phone, I am now looking to upgrade but am struggling to find a phone anywhere near as good as this one!

Reviewer: Tracy - Uk, UK
Date: 25th Jan 2008

Had my D900 for almost a year now, having owned a D500 & refusing to part with it for years despite other upgrades!

Looks wise, I think the D900 is lovely & is very easy to use although I probably don't make anywhere near full use of its many features. The camera is brilliant as is the video quality & I have loads of music on my micro SD card so am very happy with all that stuff.

The only faults (minor) I can find with my D900 is a not so good as expected battery life (apparently a common complaint!) & a slightly creaky keypad at times. I love the Samsungs I have owned & will more than likely get another problem the G600 or G800 when my contract is up soon. No problems in recommending the D900 at all.

Reviewer: Mrs L Mcgovern - UK

I had this phone only 7months when the screen cracked for no reason. I have had no help from carephone warehouse to repair it as I didn't take out the insurance so they said I would have to pay. I also contacted Samsung as well still no help from them, as I took an 18 month contract out for this phone I am still paying by the way I think it is dreadful the way I myself & many more people have been treat over this matter, I am now going to contact watchdog.

Reviewer: Carl Evans - Port Talbot, UK

I have had this phone for about 18 months now & it's never let me down.

I have thrown it, dropped it, got it wet (not soaking) my son who is a baby has dribbled on it (& worse). It's been a great phone it's lasted 18 months like I said & only now the slide is starting to get a bit stiff & make a noise & the silver OK button as got to be pushed harder than normal. But hey 18 months use out of a phone is good going I was going to upgrade my phone for the G600 until my girlfriend had one (rubbish). So I went out & upgraded my battered D900i. For a brand new D900i, I couldn't ask for a better phone.

I have been reading peoples comments about the D900i some people hate it & some saying its great I got to agree with the ones that say it's a great phone.

Reviewer: Blake - UK
Date: 21st Jan 2008

This phone has too many faults, the keypad short cuts are not easy to push sometimes. Next the phones playlist can't grasp my 1GB memory card as there isn't enough playlist to fit my songs. If anyone tells you that the battery is good then they are a liar, it last 3 hours. Yes it's not a Walkman but I like my music. The PC studio you get with it should support memory card too. Themes black & white other phones have great themes. I have this phone & I hate it cause of the battery I wish they had thought about it a bit more instead of getting another one on the market.

So what do I like. It came in a nice box & I like the way it looks the fact it has most up-to-date settings like Bluetooth & yeah it's not good for applications the ones you download. Man I must hate my own phone anyone up for a swap?

Reviewer: Olivia - London, UK

I previously had the pink E900, which was quite annoying as the touch sensitive buttons meant that often I cancelled things I didn't mean to. However, most of my friends had Samsungs & were happy with them & so I opted for another when I was due an upgrade.

I chose this phone because of its design & O2's offer of £100 Benefit make up vouchers free with the phone. I was very happy with this phone for the first three weeks, despite encountering some problems with the SCREEN, which was compared to my old phone much more sensitive, & when accidentally pressed, the colours would mess up like on a laptop screen. I found this slightly ridiculous as I believe phones should be sturdier.

My D900i Candy is now completely ruined due to the flimsy screen & looks as though it is cracked, although it is not. I am extremely angry as I literally picked it up & it was like that, as though it had been knocked previously & had nothing happen to it until then.

I do not recommend this phone, especially if you, like me, need something sturdier. If you do buy this phone, make a point of buying a case.

The phone in my opinion is terrible, it looks nice & when working isn't a bad phone but I got one nearly 18 months ago, weeks after I got it the screen broke, I got another & after a few months the speaker stopped working, in recently Orange sent me out another & speaker overheats & the battery will only last about 3 to 4 hours. Nokia's are the way forward in mobile technology.

This is a very good phone, it's slim, sleek, black & just feels good to handle. The camera is good, you just need to fiddle around with the settings. Videos can also be taken in mp4 format which I've never known of & they turn out great in case I want to make you tube videos out of them. However, the battery life isn't brilliant, well it is only a tiny battery.

Oh & another note, if you want to buy this phone, buy the D900i, it has FM radio & is just meant to better altogether.

Pros, it's light & easy to use. Photos aren't bad.

Cons, battery life is poor especially if the Bluetooth is on. You can't add your own message tone. Screen cracks easily, downloaded ringtones are not loud enough.

I will go back to the Motorola razor when this contract ends. It was the best phone I've ever had.

Reviewer: Gary - Braintree, Essex, UK

I have had mine now since November 2006 & cannot fault it other than the battery life is pretty poor, but I will freely admit I am a HEAVY texter (200+ per day).

One small irritation I have discovered is that the keypad buttons have started to crack up & fall apart. I have had the same issue on several other phones so I am led to believe it's the way I use the buttons as it seems no one else has suffered this issue.

As for those who have managed to break one of these. I have dropped mine in the bath 3 times, & dropped it on the floor countless times only marks are 2 small scratches.

On the whole Id highly recommended it.

Camera wise I think it's great albeit a little too slow for action shots (was trying to photograph fish in my fish tank, but a for quick snapshots when you're out & about its great. Though I will say the flip viewfinder (everything is back to front) is a little pointless & annoying when you change it by accident & can't work out how to change it back.

The video recording is great, perfect for MMS or to dump on you tube etc, reception wise it's always been pretty good sound quality is excellent.

I noticed some of you had issues with the memory cards not been read, I had this issue with a cheap one I got off eBay. Put in a different branded one & I never had a problem since.

The PC studio software was a little buggy & unstable but subsequent updates have improved this. I personally prefer to simply blue tooth everything direct & not use it at all.

All in all I will say this is the best phone I have owned to date & I think ill be keeping this one over the upgrade phone I have just ordered

Have had this phone for over a year now, & have been very impressed by its features & size. I am converted now to the slider form factor.

Have not had any problems with the screen, but twice the keyboard has stopped functioning after a day spent out in the cold & wet (my pocket got wet, so the phone circuitry must have gotten some moisture in there). Talk about a powerless feeling: no ability to place calls or retrieve text messages, etc.

The first time the keyboard locked up/ceased functioning for a day or so. The second time for almost a week. Both times it started working again as though nothing happened- presumably after it dried out. I suppose these instances are my fault, but I would recommend you be very careful not to expose the phone to any moisture, however small.

The silver lining is at least I was sure getting some nice battery life out of the phone when I could not make outgoing calls with that dead keyboard.

Reviewer: Oli - London, UK
Date: 2nd Jan 2008

This phone is very good, it is a good looking phone. It's very easy to connect to the PC via USB. The internal memory is extremely good, 10 songs & a few photos. This phone is extremely easy to use. The vivid text message is a good gimmick but annoying after a while, you can turn it off. The interfaces are very good & you can get around the phone easily. This is a very easy phone to text on, apart from the top buttons, if you have fat fingers. However the only problems are that the phone feels quite flimsy & that it could break at any moment. I would like it if there is a better MP3 player that displayed Artists & Albums, but you have to choose them for a list, annoying if you have a large MP3 player, the sounds is good comparable even to an iPod. Not being able to change the sound for SMS is annoying but you get over it. If you buy the phone on 02 many of the phones settings are disable which is a hindrance. It is sad that there is no 3G, so this means no video calling & the Internet browser is extremely slow. Another problem is that phone is extremely easy to turn off, even if you just hold it down for a second it turns off. The camera is good for 3 megapixels with good effects, however it is grainy. Overall this is a great phone.

Battery life is soooooooo poor! I am not a heavy user & phone is turned off a few hours of the day, but as soon as I go to use it, battery just drains away. A friend used to have the D500 which was the same with the battery. Come on Samsung, sort it out!

Also would be nice if you could add your music for the message tone.

It looks like a great phone & from what I have heard its great do you think I should buy this or the D900i?

Will never have another Samsung after this. Has real problems realising there is a SIM card present, & nowhere near as instinctive as a Nokia. Can't wait for contract to end & stop paying for a phone that only half works.

This phone is pretty good except for a few niggly things. The one thing that annoys me the most is that if you want to view the text messages you've sent you have to save them, otherwise there is no record of what & who you've sent messages to! This is VERY annoying if you're like me & go out & send drunken text messages & want to see what you've written to people the next morning!

Nice design, especially the pink one!

I had had this phone for three weeks when it broke however, it was my sister's old contract phone which she had had for a year previously. I loved it until the screen broke & I have been told it will cost 55 pounds to repair & I've decided it will be cheaper to buy a new phone. The memory is quite good being able to hold about 10 songs, a couple of pictures & a video or two without having to use a memory card (which are cheaper if you buy them from Amazon).

I am slightly disappointed to the fact that my phone screen broke when it fell on my bed awkwardly on a coat hanger & was then sat on by my friend.

Overall, good phone & lasts for a long time but just don't drop it otherwise the screen may break & it is costly to fix.

I've only had the phone 4 months & the charging slot has already broken. I brought a new charger, thinking it was that as my phone requires a charge 2 times a day. However, this did not help. Now my problem is my battery is flat & everything gets stored on the phone so I lost all my numbers, pictures & messages. I only have the receipt but is that enough as it is a manufacturing issue. Not happy!

Brought this phone in October in an unused condition off eBay. I find it a great little phone & unlike some people I have had no problems with the screen, despite it sitting in trouser pocket next to my car keys when I am out.

I think Samsung have come up with a brilliant phone. I have had one for over 6 months now & have had no problems. I really like the design. The features are brilliant & using it is never hard.

If you are thinking of buying a D900, get one, they are brilliant. Well done Samsung :~)

Me & my partner both got this (D900i) phone yesterday as an early Xmas present (He got the chrome one & I got the pink). We both had the ZV40 before we got a d900i. Anyway, the battery life is poor as I need to charge mine up two or three times a day as the battery lasts no time from when I charge it until it needs another charge. As for features, the menu looks so plain & it lacks on certain functions such as being able to store your own bookmarks when using wap as O2 seem to have made it impossible for anybody to save & overwrite the bookmarks to their site as there is 15 spaces for bookmarks in which, 11 are used up by O2 urls & locked! & they only make 4 spaces available to store your own. In my opinion, this phone is quite difficult to get to grips with. I still like it though, it isn't a patch on my ZV40!

The d900i is very stylish though & the colour is fab. The MP3 player is great & very loud. Camera could be better but it does me. Overall a great little phone.

I've had this phone for about 2 weeks now. I did have a d500 which was great & had no problems with it so I decided to stick with Samsung. Overall it's a very good phone, easy to use with a decent camera & screen & the built in radio is excellent. I went for the chrome edition & I don't regret it, it's one of the best looking phones out there.

This phone is very very very bad. Never buy it! It's a total waste of money. Not worth at all. Yes & the screen crack easily without reason. Yet it's not under warranty. They said its physical damage but how can the screen crack without doing anything? & they give me 2 choices. One is to fix the screen for SGD200.but after bargain with them. They said, 2nd choice is they fix it free of charge for me but no more warranty for me. I only bought the phone for like 2 months & this rubbish happens. I will never buy Samsung anymore.

YO I have HAD the D900 FOR 1 YEAR & 1 MONTH, the SCREEN IS FINE & EVERYTHIN IS ALL good, ITS ALL ABOUT HOW you LOOK AFTER YOUR PHONE & IN WHAT CONDITIONS you LEAVE IT IN. The only thing is the battery life is poor. But it's my second phone now, as I got an iphone!

Overall this phone is a good phone. But lacks features! Samsung really need to get a good phone which you don't get bored of after 5 minutes! I was very lucky & have only just cracked the screen (after 12 months)! & considering I am in the building trade that's quite impressive! The camera is useless! My mates take pictures off their phones & it's like taking them from a digital camera, unlike this one! It's blurry! Also the battery life on it is poor! Have to charge it every night, & if I don't then the battery is dead by the time I wake up! Right pain! If I was reading these reviews then I wouldn't waste my time with a Samsung. Sony Ericsson all the way! Just got a k850i & it's amazing!

Fabulous phone! I had this phone since October last year. I have a studded pink phone case from Claire's accessories that it sits in whilst in my handbag. Never had any issues with the screen, no scratches & no cracks. Sometimes I think we forget that it is just a phone. The condition will reflect the care you give it. Look after it & you won't get any scratches or cracks. As far as photo's & movies go, it's fabulous. Again, remember, it is a phone not a camcorder. Best quality photo's I've ever had & I've had many phones! Sound on the music player is very good. I can hear it playing on the window sill whilst taking a shower. Plenty loud enough.

For anyone who's not happy, I think you'd be better off with a PDA rather than a mobile phone. Best phone I've ever had to date.

This phone is just about perfect. It's like a Nokia used to be, you switch it on & it works. Personally after having Nokia's since, forever, the Nokia have lost their way especially with the symbian OS. The Samsung operating system just works as it should do without all the waiting around. Just buy one, you won't regret it!

I have had this phone since August 2006, so it was fairly new out, I had my contract with O2, don't get me wrong they are a good company, just not that brilliant for contract. I had the phone for less than 48 hours when my screen went black on one side & stripy colours on the other side. I have noticed I am not the only person with this problem, I had a replacement from O2 within 24 hours! Which I thought was brilliant. I have now changed my sim card into a different because on a whole I don't like the D900. I have been using this phone for about 6 months so my d900 has been stored away in its box, well as I am coming up to my upgrade now I have since charged my phone so I can give it to my sister for Christmas & well low & behold the Samsung doesn't even want to turn on! I was looking forward to getting a g600 (I think it's called. The one with 5MP camera) but after reading the reviews I don't think I will bother!

I had this phone but when I first got it after 2 days the screen was starting to scratch & 5 months later its battery life was under 4 hours & it hacks me off! Then, they tired fixing it ten times but couldn't even the manufactures couldn't fix it so I got a brand new one & it lasted 5 days, 4 days, 3 days, 2 days, 1 day, 12 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour it can't switch on even with the charger so never buy this phone but now I got a Motorola KRZR K1 it lasts 2WEEKS without being charged life is sweet.

Sorry for my bad English because I am French & I am only eleven by never buy this phone it's a waste of money SAMSUNG PHONES ARE rubbish & now I am having to phone the one I got now for school & the other one for home it's on iPhone life is SICK BROV!

Thanks for listening, RIHANNA talking!

All in all a great mobile bundle, giving you lots of functionality with an added value for design & discreetness.

If you're one of those fashion victims you can't go wrong with the discreet style of the Samsung D900/D900i.

I myself don't care much about looks, so it bugs me the fact that with this phone you can't directly upload files (music, images or whatever) to the MicroSD card (not included in the phone, limited to 2Gigs). Another thing that bugs me is not having the option to choose a personal SMS ringtone, when practically all other Samsung mobiles have that option (even older ones).

The JAVA memory is also limited to 4MB, you can't directly save videos to your memcard, nor can you take pictures directly into the MSD card (at least without having to manually export them there). Shame!

On the good side you have a communications powerhouse (voice sounds crispy & crystal clear on the speaker), built-in voice recording & radio (on the D900i), one of the best agendas & personal organiser I've ever seen on a non-PDA phone &, on top of that & if you can afford the extra memory of the microSD card, a good MP3 player (actually it supports several other media file types, just check the spec list).

I'd give it 8 out of 10. Cheers.
