Hubbys arranged for an upgrade on my mobile today and so im replacing my motorola V3 with the samsung D900.

1) Is it a good phone. ?

2) Does it have a loud ring tone. ( as it lives in the bottom of my handbag)

3) whats the photo quality like

[capt hangover]

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) Very good. Just takes a bit of getting used to.

[prking]

1) No, there are some irritating "features" of the software.
2) Ok, but not the loudest.
3) Nothing special and a bit awkward to use.

1. YEas it a good phone. Took a bit of getting used to but i like it now. (except for the squeaky hinge)

2. Loud enough for me.

3. Qaulity is good but very sensitive to shaky hands

It's generally good but somethings are really bizarre. If you send a lot of text messages then it might drive you crazy the number of steps you need to send a text message to one person from your phonebook:

Write message
<Options>
<Save & Send>
<Options>
<Phonebook>
Scroll to contact
<OK>
<Options>
<Select>
<Options>
<Send>

Also beware that the moment when the camera 'clicks' is not the moment when it takes a photo! That happens shortly after... I have many photos which are blurred as they are taken as I move the phone back to look at the photo I thought I had taken

You can cut this down slightly! Instead of pressing Options/phonebook as highlight above just press OK to go into the phonebook!

I did say slightly!

Its a great phone, I wish i still had mine,

Although there are better like the G600 now, Its over a year old is the D900

[Paul_H]

Great phone. Some irritating features though.

1. Sent text messages are not automatically saved.
2. Poor wap browser. I use opera mini instead.
3. I find midi ringtones to be very quiet.
4. Can't use your own text message alert tone.
5. If you cancel creating a text message by accident your only option is to save as draft. You can't just say your not finished and continue with the message.

Having difficulty pairing a Samsung WEP-200 headset to a Samsung D900 phone.

Got as far as paired (just the one time ) but would not connect.

Tried repeatedly by switching everything off and on again etc but all subsequent attempts to find the device failed.

The headset pairs and works no problems on both a Samsung E870 and a Nokia 6230i

And the D900 works with a Nokia BH-202 headset.

Is there a compatibility issue with D900 and WEP 200 ?

I have the previous model, the Samsung D600.

I wanted the D900 a while ago, however, upon actually touching the phone, it felt quite fragile (glued together) and cheap - not solid. The slide is rough, not smooth like the D600. Also, the D900's battery life is not as good.

When closed, the D900 looks fantastic. Opened, it looks okay. I would recommend the G600.

[Adam D]

The D900 battery was fine for me and my friend, Lasted for a few days, No problems.

Also i thought it felt a smooth slider.

[Dave1979]

I have had my D900 for about a year - never had a problem - great phone. Will be upgrading to the G800 when released. Samsung - please allow mps text tones!!!

[choicefreedom20]

i can't feel it's ring tone loud but other two are 'YES'

[blueboy]

When my wife recieves images sent from bluetooth, it stores them in the downloaded images folder. You can not set them as caller images from there.

I transfered them to my favourite images folder, it says in the options "set as" and includes a caller image. However, it does not bring a scrolling list of contacts up.

So how the hell do i get sent bluetooth images to display as a caller image? It`s driving me nuts !!!

[Adam D]

[FONT=Arial]I did not have a problem.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Go to the contact in the address book, Edit, Find the image setting and set it. Job done. ( think :| its been a while but i remember having a picture someone sent me as a caller id)[/FONT]

Hello

Can someone answer these quick questions please

Can the player play videos(e.g Prison Break)

If the answer is yes, does it take up the 350mb of space or is it compressed like with traditional m4 players

Finally. Can you remind/pause/fast forwrad videos.

Nice phone, I've been using mine for almost a year now, and have been largely happy with it. Some grumbles though:

1. Camera - utter rubbish, I had a Sony Ericsson k800i before this, which broke and I had to replace it, but the camera and flash were 100 times better. Any sort of movement from either your subject or you means a blurry photo, even in broad daylight. It's almost impossible for me to take photos of my children on it. In saying that, I don't really use it that often to bother much about it.

2. You can customise ringtones, but only have limited options for changing messaging tones, which is pretty lame (I like my phone to Moo! when I get a text message!)

3. Again, it's a lot more difficult to make your own wallpapers for the phone, because it doesn't display them correctly. There's not an option to full screen a wallpaper. Every phone I've had has had this option, so it's a bit of step back. You can do this with photos you take on the phone though.

4. Texting is easy enough, but a bit fiddly. I don't do text speak, and when I spell don't, I spell it as don't, not dont, and it's a pain getting the ' symbol, as you can only get it through the special characters menu. All other phones I've had have the ' character on the 1 key.

5. Sound quality of music through headphones (included or otherwise) is muffled.

6. If, like me, you use a bluetooth headset, there's no voice dialling, which defeats the purpose of using a handsfree kit. An old Nokia I had 10 years ago had this, so what's the deal? You can answer calls through the button on the headset though.

Minor points, except for the very poor camera, which the phones looks and size more than make up for. Having used the phone for nearly a year, I can confirm that the build quality is just fine, and slider on my phone is still nice and smooth.

I would recommend one, and you can pick them up new and unlocked on eBay for around £50 now I think.

I've managed to make a quick solution to the apostrophe problem:

Edit the first text template to having just the apostrophe in it.

Then, when you need an apostrophe when creating a text message, press:

Option
4
1
OK

Once you get used to it, its pretty quick and easy to do!
