Nice design but not fit for purpose. The main problem is with the screen which, as other reviewers have pointed out, is very prone to random cracking. YES, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DROP IT, IT JUST BREAKS. My wife's screen cracked after less than 12 months very light use & it had suffered no dropping or abuse.

It's obviously a very thin screen & Samsung have pushed the design too far & produced a very vulnerable screen which can't cope. Needless to say, Samsung are in denial about any problem, a cracked screen is ALWAYS the customer's fault. Choose another make (I am really happy with my Nokia).

Had it for 2 years now without a single problem. Its been dropped more times than I can remember, & covered in scratches, but still a very reliable phone. Occasionally turns itself off in my pocket, but what phone doesn't after 2 years of hard use

Well, I have had this model of phone for about 2 years now. This phone is the best I have had for reliability. The first one I had, I went to the beach with my friends, & I put the phone in my bikini pocket (bad idea)! & I forgot about it, & ran in the water & went body boarding, & when I got out I almost had a heart attack, I had my phone in my pocket! Surprisingly it stayed in my pocket, but it had been in the sea for about half an hour, I tried to switch it on & it didn't work, anyway about a week later I tried switching it on again, & it worked perfectly, the camera worked as good as it did before & the Bluetooth & music player worked great, I couldn't believe it! But I had already got a new d900 with my insurance.

If you are looking for a good reliable phone then I would definitely recommend this, it works after being in the sea for half an hour, now that's saying something for a phone!

I bought this phone in April, I have no problems with it. I love the music player & design. The quality of the pictures is very good but the camera is extremely slow. The memory is also very small on the phone but that problem is easily solved using a memory card! I think Samsung should have added a theme function & improved the reaction time, but I would still definitely recommend this mobile phone. Buy it!

Had this phone for 12 months now. It is a very good phone. Takes excellent pictures (if on the best setting). Battery life is & always has been very good. The only things that I have found to be irritating is that it is difficult to slide the phone open one handed, there is not a sufficient ridge to grip on to, & some of the menus are not user friendly or intuitive. The phone is now looking a bit worn but still works perfectly.

Overall a great phone, generally easy to use.

I have owned the d900 for 18 months now & never had a problem, would recommend it any day, good phone, looking for an upgrade at the moment but hard to find anything with such good reliability as this. Features are typical Samsung, not great but remember this phone is a few years old now, battery life is good unless you are constantly taking photos etc but that's expected. An all round good phone.

I have this phone close to two years & had just one problem, when somebody crush my screen. I had around 27 phone's before every one just for a few months, but this one I like so much. I don't want to change this phone for another brand. It's simple to use it & I can recommed it.

Lovely phone. Easy to use, however only had it 8 months & there is something wrong with the screen. Top half has gone blank. Only able to see part of the picture, think the rest might go very soon. Don't know why it has happened.

Had this phone for ages & the screen suddenly decided to go black? I guess it broke inside on the LCD plate but there was no force to do this. Great phone & stylish, slim & easy to use but get the TOCCO! This is dated now. Can't believe they still fetch £100 on eBay!

Had this phone for nearly 2 years, never had a problem with it & never dropped it or mishandled it in any way.

Put it on charge then all of a sudden the screen stopped working! The phone still works as I can still phone people & play music, but cannot see a thing.

I am very angry as had many precious photographs that weren't stored in my memory card. I would consider buying another as it is a very good phone. I just do not understand why the screen just decided to stop working!

Reviewer: San - US
Date: 11th Aug 2008

I had this phone for about a year. No major problems, however, the battery is very weak compared to other mobiles I owned. The design is great, it's very light & thin. The features are nothing compared to Nokia or Sony Ericsson, you can't customize anything. The camera is very very poor, its performance is similar to VGA phones unless you hold your hand steady for 5 seconds & there is enough light.

I do not recommend it at all.

I had my first D900 2 years ago on contract with Orange. I can honestly say that I never had a single problem & I loved it. My husband inherited it a few months ago when I bought the D900i pink. Wanted the FM radio which is also fabulous. When that was lost in June, I was gutted! Went straight onto eBay & bought another! They are easy to navigate, battery life for mine have always been excellent (about 3 days with normal use), sound quality with the earphones very good. I can't imagine using any other model! By the way, the D900 was buried last week as my husband sat on it & the screen died.

This phone looks nice & is easy to use. I have had it for about 8 months, the battery lasts for no time at all now. & under the screen there is a really weird bubble & so the display on it is rubbish. It freezes constantly & the messaging memory is absolutely tiny. Thinking it may help I put an micro sd card in it but this has just slowed the whole phone down.

Reviewer: Stephen George - UK
Date: 4th Aug 2008

The Samsung D900i is a handset that looks stunning due to its amazing looks & slide open design. The Samsung Mobile Phones has a TFT display screen that measures 32 x 42 mm & gives resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Its screen supports 2576 Samsung D900iK colours & thus the device can show pictures & videos with a very sharp resolution power.

I have had this phone for over a year & I can honestly say I love it & it's the best phone I have owned. It looks brilliant, holds a lot of photos, & is very easy to use. The only problem is the fact the camera is slow but apart from that it is brilliant!

Hey! I got this phone for Christmas 2007 & now in July 2008 the internal screen has suddenly cracked. I am hugely disappointed as this was a good phone. I feel its fault was how thin it was. It's easy to use & stylish but just not practical.

---

Reviewer: Jon - UK
Date: 19th Jul 2008

Had my D900 phone for over 12 months, not one major problem at all.

No screen cracks (not kept in back pocket & then sat on). Medium to light usage the battery will last around 3 plus days of a proper full charge (& still on original battery). If I had to find fault you can't set the message alert tone to a ringtone of your choice & if you use a micro SD memory card, when you select memory card of options list you have to wait around 4 seconds for it to access the card & load the info, not really freezing. MP3 player is pretty good for this phone but when you plug your headphones in then you get the real sound, loud bass, high notes. Camera fine point & press, flash is good up to about 2 meters, like I say a good all rounder, not the best, but definitely not the worst.

I had my Samsung D900i phone less than 24 hour when I had my first problem. Charged phone until it said it was Fully Charged, 24hrs later the battery was dead. Hum, thought it was a battery problem so I told (timtechs.ca) this is the useless store I purchased it from. They were kind enough to send me a replacement battery after I had to prove there was a problem. Anyway, the replacement battery after being fully charge lasted 10hrs. & the phone was on standby when it died. I didn't even use the phone. Five or six emails later to complain about my phone, timtechs.ca said it is a battery problem not a phone problem so I could not receive a RMA on the phone. I solved the problem myself. I smashed the phone into a thousand pieces. I no longer have a problem with my Samsung D900i Phone. Please don't buy this phone, it garbage! & don't buy from timtech.ca. They can't help you. I'll never do either!

Reviewer: Folkert - Belgium
Date: 12th Jul 2008

The D900i is a very good phone with nice features & great design but there are a few things you need to be aware of, I bought this phone about 2 weeks ago & the screen just cracked while it was in my pocket. I didn't drop the phone, didn't push the screen. This is not covered by the warranty so I just wasted 169 Euros. Also, battery life isn't that great.

---

Reviewer: Jean - UK
Date: 10th Jul 2008

Had the phone 5 months. Battery no longer holds charge.

Returned the phone. They opened the back, they say water damage, not covered by warranty as a marker has changed colour, (needless to say it's never been in water).

I am trying to continue with the claim under the Sale of Goods Act which states that items must be fit for their purpose. Under the Act if the item is under 6 months old it is for retailers to prove that the fault was caused by the customer, rather than the other way round.

Phone not recommended.

My wife has had this phone for 9 months, then for no apparent reason the screen has cracked internally, it was not dropped or miss treated at all, T Mobile from whom we bought the phone advise this is not covered by warranty. Having compared the screen to friends other phones it does not appear to be anywhere near as robust. Beware.

Reviewer: Conrad Hendrick - Newry, UK

I had this phone for 3 weeks & the battery never stayed charged & the screen cracked in my pocket with no external force, this phone is not for men it is a small girls phone & even at that I would think it would break in someone's bag very very easily. Do not but this phone save your money.

I have had this for a year. It was fantastic for the first 6 months. Then as stated by others the phone died. I took it back to Orange & they tried a new battery. I then purchased a new battery. Since that it will not reliably hold a charge. I charge it fully to make two calls send & receive a few texts & the battery is run down. I am sending it off for repair. It is my last Samsung.

I am glad I am not the only one to have problems with the battery. I've had my D900 since December last year. All was going fine until this week when the battery just decided to die. After charging it up overnight, I only sent about 10 texts yesterday & when I got up this morning the phone was completely dead again.

Have taken it back to the shop, but they have to send it away for repair & I am now without a phone for 2 to 3 weeks. Luckily I have a spare Samsung D600 which is about 4 years old & still going strong.

I love my Pink D900, but have had the same problems as others with the battery, slow shutter speed on the camera & am a little fed up you have to use their pathetic alert tones for texts.

I agree with everyone saying about the screen cracking, but it took many drops for the screen to crack & when I did drop it, it was onto concrete, so it's not surprising. But, I did drop it in a pool & the battery & SIM came out, BUT IT STILL WORKED! I highly recommend it.

Reviewer: Loz - UK
Date: 18th Jun 2008

I've never encountered any problems with this phone, it's the best Samsung I've ever had (upgrade from e530) & now I don't actually want to look for another one, it's that good. I have the red version, which looks excellent & fits slimly in every pocket & the screen has NEVER CRACKED. Whoever makes the screen crack must spend their time bending so far over it snaps on purpose. Blatantly Legendary Phone.

Reviewer: Cat - UK

Had this for 18 months, never had a single problem. Camera focus is excellent, pictures are of better quality than a lot of higher megapixel camera phones e.g. Samsung G600. Battery life is slightly poor compared to Sony Ericsson, lasts about 3 days with a few minutes of calls & about 10 texts a day.

Overall an excellent phone.

Reviewer: Mike - Shrewsbury, UK

I have had the phone well over a year now with no problems whatsoever. Battery life on standby is about a week to ten days if I don't use it. It feels solid & as far as I am concerned it does exactly what it says on the box. It has never let me down & I won't be changing it in a hurry.

Had this phone since September & at first I liked it. Before the screen started randomly going blank & having to take the battery out to fix it & then a couple of days ago I take it out of my pocket & the screen had cracked. I thought something in my pocket did the damage but by the looks of things on here it's a common problem.

Hi, I have just got rid of this phone & changed back to a Nokia. The battery life on this is terrible, I only got the phone in October & got rid of it in March, in that time I had 2 batteries. Very nice looking phone & easy to use, It does scratch & crack very easily. Not the best phone I have ever had & I will never buy another Samsung.

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.

Reviewer: Shereen - Basildon Essex, UK
Date: 21st Apr 2008

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.

Reviewer: Claire - UK
Date: 12th Apr 2008

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!

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.

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

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!

Great phone, used mine for 15 months & then foolish enough to change to a Sony Ericsson K850i, what a mistake, the Sony is being sold on & the D900 is coming back into circulation.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Nokia's are the way forward in mobile technology.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was totally excited when I got the phone for the first time. I was playing around with for ages, but I have a few reservations. The camera is OK but the subject does have to be very still, I have kids so no chance. My screen only cracked once, & that was when I sat on it (yes I know how?). It got repaired pretty quickly even after I was told it was not covered. Only had to pay £25 pound excess, so compared to others I got off lightly. I am on an 18 month contract with my local O2 shop. They were great, upfront & honest right from day one. So again I was lucky than most on this site & my memory card works, no problems, overall brilliant phone, just ready to upgrade now.

I've had this phone for 18 months now &, unlike many people here, have had no trouble with the screen. It only has one minor scratch which is amazing for the size of it (especially since it has been dropped many times, seems to bounce well! & one eventful night was kicked around the floor of a nightclub for hours) & pretty much looks brand new. Buttons are a good size & really easy to press, especially since I find the new Sony Ericssons a bit hard & painful if you text a lot.

However, the camera, while good in daytime, is useless if you're trying to take pictures in a club or anywhere else dark, terrible flash. Also, the fact that you can't get custom text alert sounds drives me up the wall, since the ones provided are awful, & I just gave up & had it on vibrate in the end. Finally, this could just be me being useless, but I can't seem to save a new number that's text me straight to the phonebook, have to memories it & create a new contact manually, which is a pain.

All in all though this is an awesome phone & if they improved the camera I'd be happy to stay with Samsung in the future (previously a Sony-Ericsson fan).

DON'T BUY THIS PHONE! O2 gave me it as part of my 12 month contract & I had it a grand total of three weeks when the screen cracked in my handbag.

O2 refused to do anything about it, although the sales assistant acknowledged that it was a common fault. Have sent it away for repair & now Samsung it is saying that the problem is not under warranty as I have damaged the phone (even though there is no external damage, the screen is cracked below the surface of the screen! ). So I either have to pay £50 for a repair or £18 to get the useless phone back. I'd like to know how carrying the phone in your handbag is not normal use!

We have informed O2, Samsung & Kuene & Nagel (the repair company) of our problems, neither party is going to do anything about it, I may as well be banging my head against a brick wall! Now I have a 12 month contract & no phone.

I couldn't wait to get this phone, it was by far the best looking phone on the market at the time. I have had it for a year, no problems with the screen & it still looks brand new, However it does have its bad points.

It does not save any sent messages & when you send a message from the contact list the status says that the text is being sent to someone totally different! A little confusing to say the least, I do hope that an upgraded version will be perfect.

CRACKED SCREEN after 5 months while the phone was simply in my pocket. Screen is inadequately protected, bad design.

Everyone in my class said it was a cool phone. It's slim & little & you don't feel it when you put it in your pocket. I have no problems with the screen because it's protected with a cover.

This phone is without doubt one of the prettiest phones I have seen in a long time, & after thinking what phone to buy for a lengthy time I bought this 7 months ago against the advice of certain people. While the phone is really good quality in the video, I felt a bit ripped off with the price I paid for pretty much everything else, the camera while decent in day time was awful in the night, with the worst flash I have ever seen. You can't view a picture you add onto the phone full sized either, which is something else which bothered me, & I feel I bought the wrong phone & should have gone for the k800.

unfortunately with no real substance, like a glamour model.

This phone has a lot of good features, for example the camera, it is great quality & easy to use. The phone appearance is attractive & 'sleek' however I found it slightly masculine for me although a lot of my girl friends own it! The phone is very easy to use, the menu options look stylish & are simple for new Samsung users. I was put off buying this phone (last December) due to comments about scratching & the screen breaking - mine has not but I tend to really look after things that cost a lot of money!

I didn't find the memory particularly good, only around 150 texts before you have to delete them, which is a lot I guess but my other Samsung had endless texts really. It's good that you can upload the pictures on to the computer so acts as a mini digital camera of good quality. The battery life is good I would say mine lasts 3 or 4 days. I have had complaints about it sounding 'fuzzy' when I call other people, but have managed to deal with it really. Really liked it just quite common now & manly!

I haven't experienced any of the screen difficulties so I don't know what everyone is going on about LOL.

The camera is very good, takes fab piccies! My friends have commented that it is better than their digital cameras.

After reading all the other comments I feel impelled to add my own! I can't believe it appears to be a common problem about the screen. Mine has also broken, & once again I have to have it repaired. After eight months the slider stopped working, the next day the screen went blank & then the day after that I couldn't receive calls. Turns out it needed a 'software update'

Now several months later, I had a phone call, all was fine, put the phone down. Maybe it was five minutes later, slid open the phone & the screen was black with these green & coloured lines going down it. How ridiculous that this appears to be a common problem! I always look after my phone, & I can't believe it has broken again, other phones I have owned for five years without problems, but this is ridiculous!

The phone is out of warranty, 13 months, & I am on an 18-month contract. However, it IS possible to wrangle a deal out of Samsung directly. They have agreed to repair it for free, you just have to be stubborn when you kick off a fuss about 13 months being NOT good enough for consumer standards. Their quality expectations must be pretty low etc. Then they give in! But I am never buying Samsung again.

I have had this phone for about a year & only every had one problem & that was the screen. Put a bit of pressure on & it blew.

The memory card slot does not keep the card in. Maybe if it had push & click to keep the card in place? It needs more interesting sounds for receiving a text message or receiving a call. It gets really annoying when the ringtone goes off with the same boring sounds. Other than that the phone has been rather good.

Great phone all around except for the battery & screen thing, but cheap screens can be brought over eBay for £20 & it doesn't break that often (had it for just over a year & it only broke once). If battery life is a serious concern you can buy super long life batteries from Amazon for £3.50 that last about five times as long. Would recommend simply for the amazing ability of playing mp4's with minimum hassle, although with a micro SD card it tends to only be possible to put movies on by buying a micro sd to usb reader & putting it straight on from your computer (actually available in Poundland, would you believe.) Camera has great quality as long as you keep it set on fast shot, Internet access is great.

I've had this phone for a year & the only reason I still have it is because I am on an 18 month contract. The battery on mine has to be charged every day because if it gets to two bars & you turn it off the battery goes dead straight after you turn it back on again. Although I have had no problems with the reception on mine the screen has broken three times & at £40 each time I get a new screen I could have bought the phone brand new.

Also the D900 is too big & I hate the fact that you can get pictures from the computer but not songs. 3 megapixels I don't think! It's impossible to take a picture unless you can hold it perfectly still for like 10 seconds & the video quality is rubbish!

Terrible phone! Terrible after sales service, bought the d900 in Gibraltar 10 months ago from a very nice Indian man in a pretty little shop in the high street Gibraltar, who could have sold ice to the Eskimos, they the owners were agents for Orange pardon the pun, I rarely use the phone only as a back up to my ever reliable Nokia, however I did notice that its battery life was very limited, but as it was a secondary phone it was not a big issue so I bit my tongue, suddenly last week the LCD screen blacked out with grey lines across the screen for no reason at all, I took the phone back to the friendly phone dealer in Gibraltar, to be told sorry sir! Not covered under warranty, you should have bought the insurance, I reminded him, had he sold me the insurance or even offered it, he could have had commission out of that as well, he wasn't even prepared to contact his supplier Orange or even offer to repair it, even at a cost to me, I reminded him of the consumer rights UK act, & he was still adamant it was not covered under Samsungs warranty which he suddenly decided was only 6 months anyway.& he was also quick to remind me he hadn't stamped the warranty booklet either. I will never buy a Samsung product of any description ever again! After reading all the above reports on cracked or malfunctioning screens & no body putting their hands up at Samsung for a known software problem with this d900 I just had to put pen to paper! Appears anybody is allowed to continue to market sell a product with a known software problem, without even a hint of after sales support from Samsung is absolutely disgraceful, I am going to libel Samsung & the shop owner in Gibraltar, just when he thought he had seen the back of me, as a buyer yes he has.!

JUST BUY SOMETHING ELSE, A LOT OF MUCH BETTER PHONES OUT THERE & MY SCREEN HASN'T EVEN FAILED YET! I brought this phone due to the tariff I was offered & seemed the best choice as my friends wife has always had Samsungs & keeps going on how good they are & too be fair her old one looked good, I personally am not overly keen on the look of it, think the black version looks cheap with the two different shades of glossy plastic so opted for the more un-marketed 'Wine' colour, I've had mine about 5 months, Sorry 4 as been away over a month for repair with Phones4U! , they said it would take a max of 14 days to repair & gave me a number to phone if not back by then, Three calls later still not her & now trying to charge me for repair, sound familiar if read reviews above! , mine stopped charging off the home charger, although fine off USB lead when down loading & charged via USB still as well. I took it to the Rugby store & got told that it's a known fault, she pointed down the charging socket & said contacts in there will of become loose & hence only charges off USB as a slightly bigger lead/tighter fit, I said so you can confirm it will be covered by warranty, she agreed & sent it away, but as I say they say I've damaged it internally, I said that's impossible, I am the only user of my mobile & have no kids or animals to damage it & my wife knows better! , anyway that's ongoing & I am not willing to part with £50 or even £18 just to get it back to me.

I would never advise purchasing this mobile, I've gone back to my old Sony Ericsson which has a joystick fault making it hard to use & a broken camera, but still better than that D900, the slider also felt very cheap on D900 & the menus aren't very friendly, but most annoying is the fact you can't set you own text tone & can only use pre-set ones, I also agreed camera is rubbish unless you can hold your hand totally still! & yes the volume of music is pretty poor along with the battery needing charging every day!

- When I switch to the camera mode it makes a funny noise.
- Sometimes it blocks my calls so I get a message saying I missed a call but I had my phone on next to me the whole time.
- It randomly won't let me make a outgoing phone call when I am in a strong signal area.
- Sometimes the menus are very slow in loading.
- You can't take good pictures with the camera unless you have a really steady hand.

Is it something to do with the lifespan of the ink in the screen, or is it just Samsung's way of upsetting us?

Major screen problem! Samsung are denying knowledge of the hundreds of phones breaking with no physical impact. A member of staff in the Carphone Warehouse had the same & thinks it's a component overheating during standby & breaking the screen. Mine is a second phone & rarely gets used as the BlackBerry is the workhorse. It's in a case, impossible for it to get crushed & there is not a mark on any part of it, only four months old. It was fine when put on charge as I checked my texts, then I took it off a few hours later & it's broken! Yes I must have taken a hammer to it in my sleep!

Carphone Warehouse repair these for £45 but I will get my money back from 02 or Samsung that's a promise. These should have been recalled & repaired under warranty & they expect us to all payout again, no way! They are just around the corner from me so I will be paying a visit if I don't get anywhere on the phone.

Had the D900 since April/0, I take care of my mobile better than anyone I know, hardly use it. But like many people that have posted reviews I too have suffered with the cracked screen syndrome, when sent back to T-Mobile for repair under warranty I was told that the damage caused to the LCD screen was done by extreme pressure & that I would have to pay £65 to repair the screen. Load of rubbish! I have never sat, dropped or abused the phone in any way so I challenged T-Mobile about this, they were adamant that they could do nothing for me as it was not covered under the warranty agreement. I trawled the Internet & found lots of complaints with regards to the same fault on the D900, some service providers exchanged the phone & accepted that it must be a manufacturers defect, but not T-Mobile. So I then quoted my customer rights within the UK & told them that I would take the case up with Trading Standards. Suddenly they had a change of heart & agreed that I was due to a replacement under warranty. Fancy that! Don't let them bully you into accepting liability, make a stand.

Got my Phone 6 months now & have been using it with a cracked screen for a month now, because I changed networks the warranty falls away & I am not prepared to pay out of pocket to get it fixed. I Don't see why the phones going for so much if 'the CRACKED SCREEN' is a known fault? I'll never deal with Samsung ever again!

I've had my Samsung d900 for 3 months & it has black lines on the display. This happened whilst it was on charge. The T-mobile repair centre refused to fix it under warranty even though they admitted it's a common problem. It will cost me 65 quid to get my phone back. I won't buy a Samsung or use T-mobile again.

Screen broke after 6 months with the exact same pattern of lines as my friends D900. T-mobile refuses point blank to fix it as 'all display faults are the responsibility of the customer'. Looks like I am paying for it for another year.

I got my phone on T mobile contract. I have had my phone 4 months without any problems. Went on two weeks holiday & downloaded photos on my return. Immediately afterwards there appeared to be a problem with screen. Took it to the T mobile shop whose assistant was rude I felt & said I had damaged it. I insisted that the phone was fine until after downloading. It has gone off for repair & I have been given a basic phone without camera or similar facilities & informed that I will have to pay should their technical department say the phone has been damaged. When I asked if they had any similar problems with phone they said not. I am adamant that the phone has not been misused & was reassured on using this site & finding that this is indeed a common fault. I feel more able to argue my case should it be suggested that I pay when clearly this appears to be a common problem. I wait in anticipation. I am also aggrieved as to the treatment I felt I received in the T mobile shop whom made me feel as though I was being dishonest. I have to say the manager did his best to back track & smooth things over though still ended up with basic phone & the threat of having to pay.

Phone looks OK, but there are a few bugs in the software meaning some of the options don't work as they should (or at all).

Had it about 9 months now & the screen has just cracked overnight on it's own, there's no marks at all on it, it just broke itself sitting on my desk.

Going to try to get it sorted under warranty, but after reading the other reviews, & my mates experience with his E900 doing the same thing, I am not hopeful :- (

Not buying another Samsung ever again.

Further to my input 23/07/07 my d900 with cracked screen (not my fault) has been returned to 02 from their 3rd party repairer quoting 57.00 for repair & it will not be covered by warranty as it is due to impact. I immediately phoned 02 head office telling them that there is not a mark on the phone & it is a fault with the phone, I pointed out the complaints on this website & others & that there is a mass problem with the d900 phone, Nokia have even brought out a repair kit which addresses this screen problem (I.e. There is a design fault, they know it & they have addressed it by altering the screen that comes in the repair kit).

O2 finally gave in credited my account with the 57.00 for the repair, they have not however admitted that there is a problem with the phone.

This really is a phone for people who know how to look after their stuff. True, it is not the most robust of phones (as the other reviews indicate), but should we really expect such a slim stylish phone to be as strong as a tank as well? Those who have experienced the broken screen syndrome have my sympathy, but I think with a little care, e.g. Keeping it in a breast pocket, this phone can last a long time, at least that's been my experience - I've been using one for 7 months without any problems. This is a beautifully designed piece of equipment that warrants being looked after. If you're thinking of purchasing a Samsung D900, ask yourself this question: 'Will I take care of this phone? 'If the answer is 'Yes', then by all means, get yourself one. Otherwise, stick with the Nokias, as recommended by other reviewers. They're not as pretty (the Nokias that is! ) but they'll take a lot more abuse. Generally speaking, when it comes to mobile phones, you can't have your cake & eat it. In most cases, you will have to choose between chic & durability. So if you're thinking of buying the superbly styled D900 (which, incidentally, is packed with most of the features you'll ever need! ) then be warned. Sometimes beauty comes at a price!

Had this phone 6 months now. First one broke after about 4 months because the screen inside broke through no fault of my own (was in my pocket & cracked etc) O2 ADMITTED it was a known fault & sent me a new one. I had this one all of 2 weeks & then same thing happened, again O2 sent me a new free one & then this one has a software problem & when I try & use Bluetooth the phone freezes. Four of my friends also have this phone & have suffered the cracked screen problem. I wouldn't really recommend a phone which O2 have admitted can crack through no fault of the user!

Much better than the rest of its range & worth the money. I have had no problems with reliability & nothing has been damaged. The screen has barely picked up any scratches.

Just as many others have mentioned, I bought this phone because it looked & felt good. I did however suffer the same problem as many of you, a cracked screen within 9 months of buying the phone. I returned the phone to Car Phone Warehouse. The guys in the store suggested that the phones had been exposed to excessive pressure, in other words dropped. I was absolutely adamant however that the phone had not been dropped & pointed out that there was no external damage or marks on the handset to support this theory. I also pointed out that the cracked screen problem is a common complaint & most likely therefore a fault with one or more of the phones components. Phone was repaired under warranty.

If comes to it quote the Sales of Good act - not fit for purpose. A mobile phone should be robust enough to be mobile, not surprisingly!

Last comment, the cracked screen problem is a shame really because otherwise the D900 is a good phone. The camera lens needs improving though, no point having 3 mega pixels if the picture is often blurred.

SCREENS ARE TOO WEAK!

Now on my fifth phone in ten months, my current record is a phone lasting 3 days before the screen broke. I had not even taken the protective cover off of the screen!

I am very careful with my phones & have had Nokias for years with out any problems. I am now scared to put the D900 in my pocket. I am lucky I have got insurance so it's just a £25 excess but that's still £100 this year alone.

You're better off with a Nokia or a Sony Ericsson.

I have owned my d 900 for seven months, no one is more careful with it than me & there is not a blemish on it but guess what, yes your right, put it in my pocket on its own, took it out two hours later & the screen has cracked internally with no external damage. I've taken it back to 02 who are sending it back to their workshops for a decision as to whether it's my fault or the phones.

The guy in the 02 shop pointing out he too has a d900 & he has not had a problem with his (must be my fault then).

I believe the problem with the d900 is that it slides open in your pocket & then when you bend over, hey presto, broken screen.

In common with all the other comments, the phone goes flat very quickly & has poor sound quality/volume when playing music.

Back to a Nokia I think.

I've had the D900 for 5 months & the only negative factors are the reception, which cannot always be helped, & the battery life, it needs to be charged within two days even if I've hardly used it. I never bothered getting a memory card, & the storage capacity is rubbish without it. Camera is OK, but the phone or subject needs to be completely still in order to get a decent image. When making calls, 40% of the time, the volume is very low even if you haven't adjusted it yourself, & it's difficult to have a convo. Very slim & sleek overall & I love the phone in spite of the above.

Have had the phone for 3 months after a lifetime's worth of reliable but frankly bland Nokias - oh, & a brief affair with a Mot RAZR V3 which was utter tripe (unreliable, poor software etc etc). Anyway, I really got attached to the D900. Until it broke yesterday: screen cracked, internally not externally, whilst in my pocket. Fortunately my insurance is swapping out a replacement front shell today; so hopefully D900 #2 will enjoy a long & happy existence. If not, then I'll ditch Samsung - resilience & robust quality should be par for the course with modern cell phones; I am rather concerned that herein they are not!

Reviewer: Laura - Uxbridge, UK

I have had this phone for about 10 months now & I can't really fault the design. The slider mechanism is smooth & the screen is still bright & has not cracked yet either. All the features are fine for a phone. I have a quality digital camera for my photos & an ipod for my music & I use these devices far more, but the camera & music quality are adequate for a phone (neither are professional quality, but what can you expect?). The games were a little disappointing though because most of the games that you get are just demos & the full length games that you do have a poor so if you are fan of games that might be annoying.

The two major faults that I have with this phone though are battery life & signal. The battery was fine at first & I have always been careful to fully run down the battery before charging & only charge it as long as needed. Now, however, my battery depletes rapidly. It can last on 3 bars for about a day or so (with minimal usage) but as soon as it reaches 2 bars it will last about half an hour & then the phone will turn itself off & won't turn on again until I charge it. This is very annoying.

The other problem which I have had since I got the phone is signal. It is absolutely appalling. If I am on an incoming or outgoing call then I will have to position myself in exactly the right place & not move an inch or the signal will go & I won't be able to hear anything. It is getting to the stage now where I just don't bother using my mobile & am about to upgrade to something else. I firstly thought that it was just the network that I am on, however when I put my Vodafone sim card into a friends phone the reception is fine. This is terrible & totally pointless having a phone you can't call people.

I think I will probably going over to Sony Ericsson after this as these phones are much more resilient but less attractive. From now on I am going to go for substance over style I think.

Had mine for three months, never dropped it but the screen spidered from the left bottom. Samsung S.Afr would hear nothing & related it to abnormal pressure. I researched the problem on the net & found it to be a common problem with hundreds of forums threading this. I personally think that close-sliding the phone sometimes causes a shock which shatters the LCD (thin glass) on some of these phones & unfortunately phone's in the bin & I am back to Nokia despite the ratings given above. Nb this is a rather expensive LCD. Wouldn't hesitate to invest in one again if, Samsung acknowledges this design fault & sorts it out.

I have recently got this phone & I absolutely love it! There are quite a few negative reviews of this phone so I was a bit worried but it's great!

It looks great & is super slim.

With a 1MB microSD card it can hold loads of photos, videos & music.

There are a few cute little games.

The music player is great & you can have music playing while doing other things on the phone.

The camera is excellent & you can take all sorts of photos, with mosaic shots & frames with clip arts. There is a slight delay when you take the photo but to be honest I have hardly noticed it, although you do have to be careful not to move it after the photo is taken.

Also, although it may look very flimsy its fine for generally being in your pocket, you don't have to be TOO careful although I have had mine in a 'phone sock' to look after it a little.

Battery life has been fine, although it goes down more while listening to music.

Despite what other reviews say I have been able to set mp3s as ringtones.

I absolutely love this phone & recommend it fully.

After always having Nokia phones & not seeing any that I liked, I signed up for the Samsung D900's. However I have received 4 phones in the last 4 months due to numerous problems, ranging from been unable to turn the phone on after charging (phone symbols flash), settings on the phone being incompatible with the O2 network.

Finally after using a car charger on number 4, the charging pins have been damaged, which the engineer states I have done, which I totally disagree with, have refused to pay the £87 fee & the helpful people at O2 are sending me a Nokia on Monday.

Would seriously NOT advise anyone to get one of these phones, looks great, but it is no use having a phone if it is constantly been repaired/replaced.

What a sleek design. What a waste.

I found this phone very good - but after 3 weeks I realised what I was missing out on.

You cannot use Java Apps on this phone. How very annoying.

The MP3 Player is limited to creating just 4 playlists with 30 songs on each. Don't even think about trying to put more than 120 songs on the MP3 player - trust me - I tried, but guess what? Didn't work.

MMS is awkward to use & I had to download configuration software from Samsung to get it to work - I shouldn't have to do that.

Message tones are extremely limited - you can use either 10 of the preset tones on the phone, or. Wait. No that's it. 10 default tones for your messages. Great.

The camera was disappointing - Samsung boast its generous 3.13 Megapixel quality, but I can't see 3.13 megapixels on my D900. You'd be lucky if you got 2. The video quality is also extremely poor.

A couple of good points though: You can view .PDFs & Microsoft Word Documents - liked that! (Why) (Thumbs up) I love the design of it & the feel. What a shame, to be let down with such a clunky, almost 'empty' phone.

Reviewer: Joe - Blackburn, UK

First of all I would like to say, these poor reviews have very little bearing on the phone itself. Its durability is perfectly fine, in fact I have dropped this phone so many times now, & it is yet to get scratched or broken. These people are clearly just not gown up enough to own phones since they break them.

Style wise, its not that hot, but its compact, thin, slightly taller than some phones but then again some phones can be way too small, the ones that need ballerina fingers to hold are awful, much better to have a phone you can comfortably hold.

The menu system is top notch, it takes seconds to learn the basics, & after about an hour playing with the settings I had my phone configured to perfection, so much so I did it once & have not had to alter it in the slightest in 4 months of owning it.

The camera quality is very good for its cost, 3.15 mega pixels, most phones tend to be around 2 mega pixels & to go any high-resolution.

The Internet isn't very good, but I have always thought Internet on your phone is a bit of a gimmick anyway, you may as well just stick to your PC & use your broadband connection. If you ever need to know train times, or bus times, there is usually a number you can call, like 118 118, or a directory number you know, they can be expensive but you at least usually get to speak to a real person which is far better than searching Google on WAP.

All in all this is a perfectly good, grown up phone. The features it offers are perfectly good, & better than most phones on the market, it hasn't got any truly spectacular features, don't expect a 6 meg pixel camera, or 15X optical zoom, but otherwise this phone should keep most people happy for a year if not longer.

I've had this phone for 6 months now & I am so bored of it. It is one of the worst phones I have ever had, the reason I choose it was because of its 'so called' 3.15 megapixel camera with auto focus. Its a joke. Really I am not lying one slight movement & the picture is completely blurred you get better results with a VGA camera. The design is quite attractive but it gets quite flimsy after a little while & feels it may fall off. Another annoying feature of it is the memory card slot not only can you have only up to a 512MB card but, you can not save directly onto the card for EG: if you run out of phone memory you have to move data over to the memory card to use the camera. My last point is the speaker it is very quiet & I fount it work better once I dropped it & it broke as you could decently hear the music. I really would not recommend buying the phone if you want it for the camera, MP3 player or the look as they are all useless.

I got this phone after looking at the rather too sensitive keypad on the E900. I 'upgraded' my SPV C600 to this & looks wise, it was a good idea. I have found the camera to be more than adequate for my needs & as I have problems with smaller keypads this one is fine. I think the features on the phone are pretty good, but the menus are way too complicated &/or limited depending on what you're looking at. I am fairly happy with the phone, but I tend to keep phones in my back pocket & worry about breaking it when I sit down as I have heard the screens are flimsy & prone to cracking for no apparent reason, but I feel the features of the SPV were far better & a lot easier to use. Looks wise it wins hands down, but it will be going at upgrade time.

This phone has been selected as the best phone in 2007.I am really not sure whether it deserves it. My principal complaint is the slider mechanism. It is quite firm & requires some force to open. At the same time, there isn't a good anchoring for your thumb at the base to apply that force. I can fully understand how thumbs can slide & damage, even break the screen. In comparison, sliding mechanism on Samsung's E370 is wonderful & opens quite easily. Well, you can rationalize that D900 has less chance to open in your pocket, but still.

Other things one can learn to live with. It could have been a wee bit narrower (like E250). There is no radio, which would have made it really complete. Popping submenus can be annoying at first. The rest is fine for me.

Disastrous user interface! Stay away from this phone!

Such a shame for an otherwise well put together phone, but the engineers responsible for the actual functionality & UI were either incompetent or sadistic.

Why does it require so many key presses to send a simple SMS? This is one of the most obvious criticisms.

Other unnecessary & annoying issues:
- Incredibly slow processing time when doing the simplest tasks such as reading an SMS

- The screen hangs for 3-5 seconds every single time

- One bug that many others have found is that the phone occasionally mixes up names & numbers, particularly in the SMS function (i.e. you could easily send an SMS to the wrong person!)

- Horrible menus (especially the automatic pop-up of sub-menus) with seriously ugly (& very basic, like c 1995) colour scheme

- Last point made even worse by almost zero customisability

- Speakerphone hidden 2 menus deeper than it should be

In summary, great hardware, ridiculous software.

I will be going back to Sony Ericsson as soon as I possibly can!

So far I consider it the best phone I have had, but my opinion might change in about 3 months. I have had LG, Motorola, Siemens, Nokia & Samsung phones, & to date the Samsung phones have been far better than the other phones, although the Motorola L7 SLVR comes darn close at beating this phone. (L7 is my 3rd best phone, 2nd is the D500 & for now the D900 ultra is the best). I intend on trying out the Sony Ericsson phones too sometime this year & get a better feel for which phone is best.

My screen broke by opening it the usual way which tends to be by pushing the screen up using my left thumb, as the ridge they provide is too small for adult hands! Worst of all it was 4 days after the warranty ran out! Anyway, I am trying to get the exact key sequence from one of you to turn on Bluetooth so I can retrieve my files & phonebook, can anyone help me.

A very mediocre phone. The phone feels flimsy. The slide mechanism is flimsy & feels like it will break anytime, in comparison to Nokia. My phone screen broke for no reason. A crack appeared without any kind of trauma to the phone. This is poor engineering. The company should own up & replace the part or the phone.

Battery drains out when you listen to music for more than 45 mins. Just too little of capacity for that. Music player is not the best, otherwise, it's a nice phone.

Despite the fact the company that I brought the phone from lied through there teeth when they sold me this, it's not all that bad.

In terms of functionality, the interface is reasonably simple & easy to use, the keys are a good size & well spaced & the screen resolution is excellent as is the camera (provided the light is good).

As far as gripes go;

- the camera is poor in low light

- the Internet is painfully slow & a lot of web pages don't display correctly.

- whilst you can change the ringtone, you cannot change the SMS tone to anything other than one of a limited number of defaults. The volume is also quite poor.

- the battery life lasts about 48 hours on average.

It will do for now, but will be replaced when my contract expires.

I have had this phone for 7 month & the inside the screen cracked as I replied to a text, took it back to the shop thinking they would repair this free of charge, all they keep saying I have'd dropped it which I strongly deny. I have written to Samsung & they don't want to know. I have since read this seems to be a big problem with this phone & I would like to ask has anyone been successful in getting this problem sorted without paying for it themselves.

For 10 years or so I always bought Nokia phones & had good service from them. That is until I bought an N70, big mistake. In the space of 4 months I had 3 different handsets all had varying faults. I must say that Orange was fantastic & the Orange care service excellent. Can't praise Orange enough, good service & nice people. Anyway I told the Orange staff that I didn't want another N70 & could they advise me on another make of phone, I had lost faith in Nokia. They said Samsung are making really good phones & in fact three of the four staff had Samsung phones. I had never really thought about Samsung. Anyway I bought a D900. Fantastic phone. I am now truly hooked on Samsung & when I upgrade again it will be a Samsung. I am a happy chappy now, very satisfied with my phone & more than happy with Orange. I travel around the world & always get a good reception from the Orange roaming partners. Moved to Orange three years ago because of some trouble I had with O2.

As I am young I do not have that much experience with mobile phones, however, since my first phone I have had a lot of phones.

I got this phone as a Christmas present in 2006, I loved my phone & took the up most care of it, it was the best phone I ever had.

When I first started using this phone it had very good battery life, very good & quick camera, but this seems to have deteriorated over the past 6 or so months, the camera is now very slow & does not work in the dark even with the flash on. The battery now has to be charged more often & the camera drains the battery very quickly.

But yesterday my phone was in my jeans pocket, then when I came to use it I took it out of my pocket, when the inside screen (LED screen?) had green lines over it, then just cracked in the bottom left corner in a circle formation.

I have been on here & on several reviews & it seems this is a regular problem, I am going to take the phone to be seen to tomorrow to see what they say.

Many people have said that they have been told that they must have dropped it, I on the other hand have not. I'll keep you posted.

Although any other time I would have recommended this phone, I now would not.

Reviewer: Jimmy Jin - Malaysia

I have used the phone for 2 months. My phone comes with Bluetooth & a 1GB micro SD card installed.

First the Strength - the phone is definitely. The phone doubles up as an MP3 player & is good for the time when you would like music on the go.

Now the area of improvements - the 3MP camera is only good for still images & in bright environment. The shutter speed is too slow to take images that tend to move or shift. Another issue that may bug you is that the text message does not get saved automatically when you send a message. The * & # key is tricky to access as it is block partially by the housing (if you text using your thumb.)With the huge LCD screen & the slim form factor, don't expect much of battery life. You will need to use the USB charger if you do work from your PC regularly or to charge it daily before you start your day.

Finally - An area that fails miserably. While Samsung claims that the mobile phone is able to synchronize with your Outlook calendar, this claim is totally false. When you sync your appointments to your mobile phone, appointments that are reoccurring in nature in Outlook is left out. Also, the D900 places all appointments into a category it calls Miscellany which omits the location which is so critical for appointments & be careful when you sync the calendar, it wipe out my entire Outlook calendar!

As a whole, this is a sleek phone if you are looking for a trendy phone. No doubt it will be an eye catcher.

I bought this phone in December 2006. Thought it would be a good buy! How wrong was I. It is a nice phone, but not much good when the screen is cracked through no fault of mine. I rang Phones 4 you who I bought it off & they fobbed me off! They have had that many problems with this phone that they now tell us we have to ring Samsung & they will deal with it. Yes they do deal with it. It costs you a fiver to send it for repair. The repair is not covered under their warranty so that means £70 to pay. If you don't want it repaired at this cost & you want it back it costs you another £17 to get back!

I WOULD NOT recommend THIS PHONE TO anyone! The FIRST SAMSUNG I BOUGHT & the LAST! I'LL STICK TO Nokia OR Motorola!

Reviewer: Cool - UK
Date: 26th May 2007

I don't have this phone. I've just spent the last hour reading these reviews, after coming back from town decided on a D900. Now I am not so sure!

Battery life seems a big problem, & the delay on the camera. But the biggest issue seems to be the screen: sounds like LOTS of people have screens fail without them being abused at all. & then after repair they keep having the problem. There's mention of rapid temperature changes being a cause of screen cracking. There one mention of a firmware upgrade being available. & yet other people have had no screen problems.

So that makes me wonder if the design flaw is not with the screen itself, but with the electronics of the phone: some go screwy & overheat & crack one screen after another, whilst others are fine & never see a screen problem.

Its one thing to run the risk of having to go ask for a refund, but if there's a chance that the seller & manufacturer will (try to) dodge all responsibility then I am simply not going to take that risk.

I was hoping these problems would die out (I.e. Samsung addressed the issue) as I moved up through the most recent reviews, but there doesn't be any tailing off. Think I'll call in to CPW & try putting them on the spot about it, see what they say.

Maybe I'll take a look at the D840 again. Or else just stick with my Choc (which for all its quirks & minor annoyances still works fine after one year & one drop onto a pavement!).

Well I have had my phone since January & it has been a very good phone. However the other day the screen went black & now doesn't work. The good news is that I am with Virgin Mobile & they agreed to replace my phone within minutes with a new U600 for no extra cost with 7 months of my contract remaining & no insurance.

Have to say though that although the features are good & I had no quibbles with the actual running, it doesn't have the same strength & durability or at least the feeling of this as all my previous phones. Basically this phone is only good for 3-6. Which is actually quite useless especially the 18 month contracts which companies are trying to enforce upon us.

I was really looking forward to upgrading from the D500. There are two things that irked me:

1) The keypad tones - cured by changing the dialing page from theme to normal it is as simple as that.

2) Speed Dial, neither Samsung or O2 would do anything, accept to say that Samsung say that O2 have locked their numbers into the speed dial, O2 say it is a Samsung fault. If it was Samsung why did the D500 allow me to do it, if it was O2 why did the D500 allow me to do it? I have tried deleting the numbers but the phone won't let me. In Samsungs favour they say that speed dial works on non O2 D900's.

Seems only one solution, bye bye O2.

I am totally addicted to it, the pictures are fab! I don't see how people don't like the photos. The mosaic effect is awesome. Luving it

I was worried about getting the phone, with all the bad reviews, but nothings wrong, the pictures names DO CHANGE unlike what I read on some other review & MY SCREEEN HAS NOT BROKEN!

If you charge it for a good 12 hours then, run it completely down, & repeat, the battery life is great!

The downside:

the demos instead of games & how long it takes to scroll through the pictures, but I used a USB card reader/writer thing & put my 2GB card in (some people say you can't put in more than 1GB) & found it on my computer then put all my photos in files with the date & stuff, this is also what you do with music.

I've had my phone for just over a week now & have found very few faults with it. The main issue is that the tone for messaging can't be changed, but it's bearable. My screen's been fine as well, just be aware that it is a thin phone & you have to be careful with it. You can change the settings for the volume so that it is louder, the code is on this page if you scroll down. I've never had a Samsung before, but I am impressed, this phone not only looks good, but is easy to use as well. Once you get used to it, it's easy to use. For people asking how to change predictive text & other minor things, read the manual, it's there for a reason. No phone comes personalised, you have to play around with it for a bit before its how you want it. The camera is good, but you do have to wait for a few seconds before you move, because it will blur. There are no problems with the video recording, so I don't know why people are complaining about that. There is plenty of memory on the phone, but if you want more then buy a memory card, if you fill that up, just transfer the pictures, videos or whatever to your computer, which is easy to do once you have installed the software, it's quick as well. The only thing which I will complain about is the sound quality when people call me or I call them, the reception isn't all that great, but once you get good reception the sound is clear, just make sure you remove the plastic covering, or take it off & put it back in a different position. I'd recommend this phone to anyone who loves their phone & doesn't throw it around, great phone.

Well, as with some of those below, I too opted for the Samsung D900 as an upgrade on a renewed contract. After having a string of Samsung phones, I knew that the user interface was friendly & generally quite good.

After only 4 weeks of having the phone a pressure crack appeared behind the screen rendering it useless! After contacting 02 & then Samsung, neither would replace the phone, even though it is obviously flawed - Shocking! Good luck to anybody doing anything more physically demanding than sitting on your backside in an office most of the day.

I am now faced with either paying £60 for a replacement phone in an 18 month contract that I didn't really need or paying the contract & getting nothing for it.

Their tests, when they ship them off are mistaken & seem to serve only to victimise the customer by placing some statement that is meant to make the customer feel powerless - do they even look at how much the phones can take before breaking, & whether this fits in with standard use!?

Terrible service, very annoyed.

When I got off the train & looked at my phone, I slid it up & the screen stayed black.

I turned it off & on again, then there appeared to be several cracks on the LCD near the bottom, & 2 circular cracks, too. This rendered it useless. I only wish now I had insured it. So if you do get one, be VERY gentle with it!

Having read other people's reviews I can see some valid points. The camera can be temperamental, but I don't use it very often.

My screen is still intact, & I've had the phone since February. I keep it in my back pocket, & have sat on it frequently & have had no resulting problems.

I did use a plastic clip on case for a short time, but found that it moved every time I slid the phone open, & the case rubbed the very top of the phone as result, & left marks.

Overall, I love this phone, & would definitely get another Samsung in future!

Right, it looks great &, unlike so many others, I have had no problem with the screen so far. BUT, & it's a big one, there are too many other problems with the phone to make it worth your while.

As far as MP3 goes, you can create 4 playlists with 30 songs each. That doesn't even last me a week, traveling on the tube I need more. The phone can take more songs on a memory card but you have to change your playlist just too often.

The camera, though 3 MP, is bad. Only in really bright conditions does it manage to take pictures that are not totally out of focus. & it is slow & taking pictures simply drains the battery.

Battery life is below average, I am not going to give you days but it is well below any Nokia I have ever used. Probably due to it being so thin the battery is just too small. Then there is the small issue of using the software to sync it with your PC. Don't even try. It deleted most of the information I had on my contacts in Outlook & even though the software offers it as an option, you can only sync both ways, not one way only. The software also does not allow you to work on some of the contact settings, such as caller groups, so this has to be done on the phone & finally texting. Why do special characters have to be divided into groups, selected with a number key & then confirmed with another one? Way to complicated.

Get this phone if you're after style with little substance but stay well away if you need any kind of functionality.

It's probably the best phone I have had so far but the first ever d900 I had didn't work properly it just kept going off all the time! But it's a good phone! & to turn the keypad tone off you have to settings click on display settings, then on to Dialing display & change the font type to normal!

This phone did every thing I wanted. Good camera if a little slow (shutter lag) can store & read various documents, fits very well in the pocket & here is the problem it is just too thin. With normal use the screen a less than six months old has cracked Samsungs reply user damage. Their repair agents sent a quote £70 to repair. They have had a lot of d900's with cracked screens. I declined for those of you having trouble with repairs the law in England is as follows sale of goods act (sec 14) any product with a fault that is less than six months old is presumed unless proven other wise to be a manufacturing definitely more.

Overall very disappointing & annoying, I will never purchase a Samsung again.

I got my phone is January & it has been great so far. The camera is good however the flash is awful. When you need to take a picture in the dark the flash hardly helps. The camera in the other hand is great, the pictures are of a very good quality. I have read that the screen seems to crack easily however mine has been fine. The phone its self also seems to be sturdy, I have dropped it quite a few times & it's not even scratched. The battery life I find is very good. I can use if for up to 6 days before I need to charge it again & its usually fully charged in 4hours at the most. The games provided with it are not the best & as previously mentioned, the only decent ones (sonic & Tetris) are only demos & the full game cost nearly £5 which is a lot. The MP3 is great however I don't tend to use it as it takes up too much memory. The phone has lots of memory & I find this very useful. Other than the flash being rubbish, the only other problem I have is with the Internet however I do believe that this is NOT a fault of the phone but a fault on my behalf. All in all this phone is great. I would definitely recommend buying it!

The screens been OK so far no cracks or its thin but hey I haven't been nursing it an had mine for a month with no probs I really can't fault this phone much it looks good an serves its purpose the menus are fast with no lag & visually clear!

The reason I got the phone was it looked way better than the Sony Ericsson K800i, but I knew features would suffer due to that fact, Camera is poor, & battery even worse, but it does look very slick, esp. When it was uncommon. BUT I'd go for a KE800i if I had a choice between the 2.

Also the screen problems people have been happening could be due to a batch of poor screens, 5/6 of my friends have the phone & are happy with it, (apart from battery life). People should really read more reviews, & even if the camera were great & battery life good, I'd NEVER pay £300 for a 6month old phone! LOL

I got this phone from virgin on pay as you go for Christmas & was undecided to ask for this or an Ericsson & decided on the d900 because of its looks & features advertised. I made the wrong choice!

To all those who say if you don't like the camera or the MP3 go out & buy a digital camera or an MP3 player, I say for £300 I want something that actually works & I could use & expected more!

The camera for 3.2 megapixels is nothing short of pathetic & just impossible to use. Any slight movement & the picture comes out blurred because of the massive delay in you pressing take photo & the photo actually being taken (can anyone suggest anything to stop this?) the camera takes very good pictures if the object is still though. I wanted to take this phone on holiday with me instead of having to bring a digital camera too & would have been quite happy at 3.2 megapixel photos but now that's out of the question.

The MP3 player is OK but the speaker volume could be higher.

Also for £300 spent I expected to be able to put any memory card I wanted in it (many phones support 2 gig cards) & not be limited to a 1 gig.

The games on it are rubbish & the 2 decent games like sonic are only demos, you have to pay to get the full versions.

I've read all the write ups about the screen so up to now, the 10th April, from Christmas I have spent a fortune on at least 6 or 7 clear hard plastic cases but because of the phone's design, the cases can have only the smallest of 'lips' to hold it onto the phone & due to sliding the phone up these lips soon crack & the cases have to be replaced.

For the money I paid I am very very disappointed in this phone.

After having this phone for 4 months the SCREEN HAS CRACKED, it was not dropped or bashed it just cracked for no apparent reason. I am really disappointed as I really like this phone otherwise. Its OK for other people who are reviewing to say don't listen to the 'negative comments' but I am sure if their screen had cracked the same as many others on here have then they wouldn't be entirely positive either.

Can anyone who has had this problem & had a good response from either the provider, manufacturer or retailer please put some info on here? Thanks.

Nice to look at but terribly fragile. Screen cracked inside 5 days after purchase rendering the phone useless. It has happened to hundreds if not thousands of people. Retailers charge a large fee to fix the screens & Samsung refuse to do anything about it.

When the screen was still working, however, I found the menu wasn't the simplest to navigate, the camera was extremely slow at capturing images & it rings very quiet, even on the highest volume setting.

The only thing that really impressed me about this phone was the many camera effects, frames, & settings, but what use are they when within a month your screen will be shattered & you won't even be able to see what you're doing with it?

Steer clear of this one, or keep it wrapped up in cotton wool at all times. (But not too tightly).

I can't quite understand reviews praising the camera on this phone. Supposedly 3MP but I have given up on trying to take any photos with this phone. Firstly there is about a 2 second delay between pressing to take & the photo being taken & if the person or object moves slightly just before being taken the picture comes out early. Even when successfully taking a photo the quality is not much to write home about & this goes for videos too. I had a Samsung e800 to phones previously which took a lot better pictures.

The rest of the phone however works very well & looks stylish with my only other problems being that apostrophise are not easy to put into texts & you cannot set to save sent messages which can be helpful after a night out.

Overall this could've been a top notch phone if the camera was not so primitive compared to rivals.

Can't knock this phone (personally, after glancing at the other reviews! ) I didn't have any problems with the screen & mine seemed unexpectedly sturdy considering the weight & dims.

But. I lost it!

Called about a replacement & Vodafone said Samsung were recalling them & offered me alternatives. I am guessing that this is due to the fault with the screens that people have commented on in the other reviews.

Hope this helps any potential buyers.

Samsung needs to recall the phones & replace screens.

Incidentally I do believe Samsung may have strengthened the latest batch of screens. Which would prove they have realised their design is flawed.

I don't normally post on these things but I wanted to warn people about buying this phone. Yes it looks nice but I had a D400 years ago & it's basically the same operating system. The battery life is really poor, I have to charge mine every day. It has about half the life of my old Sony Ericsson. The memory is rubbish. You can get a memory card but. Looking through pictures on that is ridiculous! You press down & about 10 seconds later it will move down. So how are you supposed to look through about 50 pictures? Oh & its not my memory card because I have a San Disk one, they are the best you can get really. The thing that annoys me most though is the camera. One of the reasons I bought it was because it has a 3 MP camera. Go to take a picture of your mates in the pub, you press the button to take the pic, by the time it takes it they have sat back down & finished their pints! Oh & it still comes out blurred! Whenever you take a pic if someone so much as sways in the wind it will come out blurred. & you have to hold it still for so long! Also the pictures come out really dull looking. You can play around with the settings & get it right, or you could get a Sony Ericsson which does it automatically. In fact my friends 2 MP Sony Ericssons put mine to shame! Oh & the earphones you have to use with it hurt my ears! With a Sony Ericsson you can attach any headphones. Don't buy it!

Having owned Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Philips, Sagem, etc etc phones I can honestly say that the D900 is the best. I have had mine for 6 months & it has lived an active life. It is unmarked & the sound from the speaker, although muted when new, has improved with use.

The camera is not the easiest to use due to the options available but is good as just a point & shoot backup.

The worst part of the phone is the manual. It doesn't include some of the features which I found by chance, for instance, Press 1 when playing a video to get 'full screen' mode. I will definitely purchase another Samsung.

No better way to vote than with your money. Full marks Samsung.

Good phone for most purposes, except using it! Screen broken, after three days after great care has been taken because of its thinness.

The screen anchorage is flimsy, having only 0.5mm protection, as opposed to the D600, which has 3mm.

Unfortunately & fit for the purpose.

If you don't need the screen, then buy away! Customer service, as usual with these large companies is abysmal!

Nice looking phone. BUT:

I am on my 3rd handset in 4 months, screens just crack for no reason, the first 2 phones had a glass screen cover, & were impossible to scratch. This was excellent! The latest has plastic, I had it about a week before it was covered with scratches. Very disappointing. Camera is good if you have a tripod! Shutter delay means blurry pics as you move phone before picture processed.

THIS PHONE WILL NOT SYNC WITH OUTLOOK PROPERLY.

I have tried all 3 phone on different computers also, when you sync, only random info will sync, maybe 40% of contacts, appointments will transfer. It WILL MESS UP YOUR OUTLOOK. Duplicate appointment entries & many duplicate contacts will be created both on PC & phone. A real pain to delete especially if you have a lot of contacts.

Other than that, as a fun fashion phone, the rest is OK. Oh texting difficult at first but easier with practice.

I was expecting a lot from all the reviews for the mobile, & it lived up to expectation in no way whatsoever. The camera was awful compared to the 2MP Sony camera that I upgraded from. In fact I would go so far as to say that the camera was a complete waste of time - all of my holiday photos were rubbish & I feel cheated. It is more like a VGA camera. & yes, I had it set up correctly with the maximum clarity & MP.

The text message capability was fiddly & when I made a mistake it was more than easy to erase the whole text in my attempts to correct it. The phone also opened every time I put it into my jeans pocket randomly calling people in my phonebook. If it did stay closed then it would open when I pulled it out of my pocket & on a couple of occasions answered my call, & then hung up on them. Annoying!

Size wise it was great, & I thought it looked quite good. However it did look old & dated very quickly. For some people this phone will be great, but compared to the offerings of Sony & Nokia, this D900 is absolutely diabolical.

I have just made my third claim for a cracked screen with my mobile insurance policy for my Samsung & have requested a completely different phone to replace it. I would advise anyone to look at other phones rather than this one, unless the looks of the phone are that important to you. It looks great & it's nice & slim, but the build quality isn't up to scratch. I haven't thrown my phone around or dropped it, the screen has cracked both times from what must be the slightest pressure.

Apart from the flimsy screen the phone is quite stylish, the look & feel is good. The texting/menu system of Samsung mobiles has always been below Nokia/Sony phones in my opinion & this phone is no different. As already pointed out by others, don't buy this if you want a decent camera phone. The camera takes ages to actually take a picture & unless you are doing scenery or tortoise shots, you'll get a blurred image. The standard choice of ring tones, message tones is fairly poor & I wouldn't buy this phone if you want a decent MP3 player/Walkman replacement.

Reviewer: Phil Haskell - UK

Got the phone because I was under huge pressure from Carphone Warehouse to upgrade before they lost their Vodafone contract business; always had Nokias before but nothing appealed at the time. I use the D900 when I want a slim light phone for calls only (i.e. great when going out) but not for anything else. Text messaging is practically impossible; calendar does not sync properly with Outlook (no-one mentions that in the reviews do they!?) & shutter lag means more blurred snaps than clear ones! Fortunately have still got previous Nokias, & am just about to buy a 6300 (D900 has me so hacked off I will quite happily buy a replacement without waiting for upgrade.)

Quick comments for other reviewers - the volume keys on the left control the camera rotation when in photo mode; press & hold # key to activate/deactivate silent mode; the fact that its 1mm (! ) thinner than a RAZR does not make it any better.

Shame to see such a potentially good phone get such consistently bad reviews from users. Even more puzzling that it still gets consistently good reviews in magazines (saw it at No 3 in buyer's guide of mobiles last week). I got mine on the strength of a review; but will trust my experience in future - would not get another Samsung after this.

I totally agree the battery life is absolutely appalling. With my two previous D900's after charging the battery would be dead within 4 hours & I hadn't even used the phone!

My 3rd handset keeps switching itself off randomly for no reason & takes a couple of minutes before it'll let you switch itself back on. It's been sent away again & apparently they couldn't find anything wrong it, but it still does it, so explain that one.

I absolutely love the phone & its features (only exception would be the slow camera! Image comes out blurred because it takes so long to capture the image it's moved! )

I would love the phone more if it wouldn't keep going wrong, I actually feel like the courtesy phone is MY phone because I've had it so often.

The big problem with this phone is the firmware. I got a Samsung D900 in early February & subsequently bought a 2GB microSD card. It doesn't accept it! I contacted Samsung & they said that the firmware on my phone limits the size of the microSD card to 512mMB in my phone. They said they do not issue firmware updates & basically I was told 'tough luck mate'. So now I have a 2GB microSD card to fit a phone that is not 'Fit for Purpose'. There was no mention of this limitation in the phones documentation or on the Samsung's website before I bought the phone.

My favourite is Sonic. The D900 is very slim, & it has a very large screen (better to watch your favourite videos) & it is appealing :)

What I like about the D900

The D900 features an excellent 3.0 megaPixal Camera, the images are top quality, & the camera makes maximum use of the surrounding light. The sound quality is alright as well.

The great thing about the d900 has to be the background, it's like a screen saver it has a picture of the Big Ben in London, the great thing about it is that when it goes dark outside it goes dark in the phone, some how it is programmed to change. I think it is awesome feature.

When I first tested the music player on the phone it sounded lower than my alarm clock watch : ) & then I read on a forum that you have to remove the protective screen cover in order to hear the sound, I though this was rubbish because now the screen is exposed to scratches.

Overall I would recommend the D900, it is a slick looking phone with a great quality camera. The D900 is in my opinion the best phone currently going.

The SCREAN WILL ONLY BREAK IF YOU HIT IT HARD. So don't LOL :-)

Samsung's new Ultra range is a bit like Carol Vordermann, slim, but still full of brains. They reckon they've scooped most of the mobile phone accolades out there (skinniest candy bar title, the slimmest HSDPA phone) but haven't skimped on the specs. The D900 was the first of these to be launched, featuring a sliding design & measuring just 12.9mm in width. & yes, it's the world's slimmest slider phone.

It's seldom now that you can pick up a phone that does something that's truly new or unique to the brand. Cameras, MP3 players & email are all present in the vast majority of phones, to one degree or another. Any company that attempts to create something new risks straying over into the gimmicky territory occupied by novelty ringtones & crazy photo effects. So, with that in mind, I give you the Samsung theme screen. & then you can tell me what you think (I am having trouble forming opinions this morning).

I really like the look of this phone, but after a few weeks the LCD screen cracked unexpectedly, then not three weeks after I had it repaired it cracked again, there was no excessive use & I only carried it in a safe compartment in my handbag. Every other feature on this phone is great. I would definitely recommend this phone but not to anyone who uses the phone for a rough working profession I.e. builder.

Hi, just got this phone a few weeks ago on Orange, all great so far, apart from the main screen on previous Samsung phones there wasn't a constant menu on the wallpaper page. On this Orange phone, on the left of my screen I constantly have a mini menu. Does anyone else have this phone on Orange, & also has this menu on the left? Really want to get rid of it, but don't know how. Past Samsung phones haven't had this menu. Preferred my old phone which when you had a new message it came up at bottom of screen with 'New Message' & who it was from. Please help if anyone knows how to get rid of this menu!

Also, one other issue. Is there any way of having the clock showing the time permanently when the phone is shut? Instead of just the black background, can I have the time showing? Not great with phones as you can tell.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Had the phone a month now, was very wary of the comments about cracked screens & the camera function, but it seems that all the current phones are prone to cracked screens.

Great phone, very thin & discrete even the camera is good when it is set up properly. Battery life is not great but what do you expect from such a small phone.

However I am unable to format a 2 GB memory card within the phone, does anyone know how to do this?

Good points:
* Slim phone with nice big screen for browsing the Internet & games.
* It does vibrate & ring at the same time.

Bad points:
* Battery life is appalling, from new & a full charge it was down to 1 bar by day 2 after no phone calls & an about an hour of WAP use.
* Menu system is in Day-Glo colours.
* Huge font size for menus & entering phone numbers that you can't change.
* Only horrible video game style built-in ring tones, nothing normal that just goes 'ring ring'.
* Can't change incoming text alert from above said tones.
* Can't change the alarm ring volume unless you change your incoming call volume (it's one in the same).
* If you want your text message font to be small then you need to set this every time you write a text as it's not saved.

Generally a good looking & small phone ruined by Samsung's appalling backward operating system which looks like it's designed for teenagers. What use is a nice big screen when everything displayed is 3 times the size of that on other phones? Mine's gone back after the second day.

I work for a phone store in Sydney, & often get asked questions about the sound qualities of this phone. From the reviews below, I can see that the music playing qualities are rated excellently - people enjoy the musical side of this phone, & its ability to play MP3's etc. However, I have a quick question about how loud the phone is - both in terms of music playing & ring tones. More often than not, I have trades people come into the store & ask this question. Any answers would be much appreciated!

The cracked screen is a software problem with the phone. I spoke to Orange, & they said that Samsung will replace it free of charge. The fault code for this is (FW116 Faulty Screen). Quote this when you speak to some one.

Bad Bad Bad. Had for 3 days then started vibrating constantly. So removed the battery to prevent the vibrating, left over night, put battery back in the morning & only the Samsung D900 screen came up, then went back to black, then it came up again, then so on. Tried charging but made no difference. Sent back, & apparent water damage, this had happened to 3 of the same model from this store. Not a very strong phone!

Reviewer: Byrd - Hitchin, UK

I upgraded to the D900 in December from another Samsung phone & to be honest, I am a little disappointed. It looks wonderful- stylish & different to others on the market, & the functions are pretty good- easy to use & navigate around. What disappointed me was that while a 3.2 mega pixel camera is great in theory, it is so slow to capture that you cannot take pictures without it coming out blurred. I have a 7 mega pixel digital camera, so am not too bothered, but for those 'need to take a picture now' moments, the camera is rubbish! DON'T FALL FOR the MARKETING HYPE! If anyone knows how to get round this, please let me know! (My sister in law has the E900 & has the same problem. )

I found the battery life was OK- if you leave Bluetooth on, it drains the battery, so I got into the habit of disconnecting Bluetooth once I got out of my car, but now it has stopped charging completely. Strange thing is that it charged OK using my car charger, but wouldn't work with the AC adapter. Took it back to T Mobile, & they gave me another charger. Still doesn't work. Now back with T Mobile for them to fix it. Hoping they can fix it or get a replacement.

My previous Samsung was brilliant- it just didn't have Bluetooth which I really needed & after being a Nokia owner for years, I was glad I made the switch to Samsung. Not sure I'll keep this phone when my contract is up later this year. Shame.

Reviewer: Nick Grainger - Toddington, UK

This phone is absolutely amazing. It looks great the camera takes really high quality shots & the screen quality is undoubtedly the best I have ever seen. It's not just the main points that are amazing, it's all the other little things that Samsung have thrown in to make this phone truly amazing. For example the mosaic shot mode in the camera, the converter that converts anything from currency to area. Even the calculator can cope with sine, cos & tan calculations. INCREDIBLE. This is one of the best purchases you can make in phone terms.

In answer to Darren's questions:
1. Yes you can have MP3/AAC files as your ringtone.
2. I am guessing that you mean speaker phone when calling. If it is then yes it does have it.
3. Yes you can have a personal picture as a wallpaper

See this phone is amazing. You should be ashamed if you by anything else for more & it has the same spec! E.g. K800i, N93, Moto RAZR

That's it rant over now go out & make Samsung proud!

This phone is bad. It really is. It's all style over substance.

I have recently got one having had Sony Ericssons for the last few years & I have to say that this does not compare. It looks nice but that's it.

The menu system is not at all intuitive & hard to use with sub-menus appearing on top of main menus. Texting is ridiculously complicated compared to the Sony Ericsson method. Oh, & don't fall for the 3 megapixel camera (as I did) - it's over complex & is so slow to capture an image that unless your subject is stock still the picture will be blurred.

I seriously advise anyone against it.

Reviewer: Steph - France

I upgraded a few months ago from D500 to D900. I was very impressed, though at first had a sound problem, due to the plastic on the screen covering the speaker! The phone itself is pretty good, although when typing a text if you need to use a coma you have to go through the menu, you can't add your own message tone.

Recently I have had a problem with the camera, I've noticed I am not the only one, & as I haven't found a solution on here, I thought I would post it once I'd found it! If when taking a picture, when looking through the screen the picture appears to be upside down, use your volume adjuster on the left (up & down) to get it back to the angle that it was at. I hope this helps people if they haven't yet found how to sort it out.

Other than that, I have had it for 6-7 months, the screen has been fine, & so has everything else.

Enjoy!

HI,

1: Can you use MP3/AAC files as ringtones? YES
2: Has this phone got the Speakerphone utility? YES
3: Can you use a personal picture as the wallpaper? YES

All in all it's a good phone. There are only 2 things I don't like.

1) the screen saver. To be able to view it the phone has to be slide down & you have to the press the bottom volume button on the side.

2) the battery is good but not excellent unlike the E720 that I had before.

Well, it's been 5, 6 months since I have had this mobile, & after switching from Sony Ericsson & Nokia, I have found that this phone is by far the best. As most of you ppl are pointing out faults about the battery & the screen & camera, I just want to tell you guys, that there are some sets that are faulty, & have some probs with the battery and stuff & if you take them to where you've gotten them from, they'll upgrade the software and you want have the probs then. Because mine is working fine & my friend just got hers, & she had the same problem with the battery & the phone getting too heated when she charged it. So she took it back, & they upgraded the software using flash. As far as the games are concerned, every mobile phone has games, but if you use them too regularly, they can damage your phone & reduce its life.

Also, for the VOLUME issue, there's a code that you can apply & raise the volume of the ringtone, as well as the MP3 player and alarms.

Press *#8999*8378# on your Phone.

1. Go to no2. H/W Test
2. Audio Settings
3. Select Normal
4. RxPGA change to higher say 200
5. Rx.Vol change Level 5 say to 150

This should work. It did on mine as well. So all in all, it is a great phone, & whoever is looking to buy a phone & stick with it, do get this.

Just brush it with your thumb while trying to do anything & you immediately get dumped out of the thing you were trying to do. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!
