The folks over at Hi-Mobile.net were very kind to send us the Samsung D900 feature phone for the purposes of this review. What's special about this phone is that it's the slimmest slider in the market today with a 3.2 MP camera on it, a technological marvel. Read on for our review, screenshots of the system, camera samples and a hands-on video.

Things like including a 3.2MP camera and not allowing users to save images to the SD card really make me wonder how much usability testing this phone went through. I can see getting annoyed very quickly if I take a series of photos and run out of room because I haven't popped off to the file manager to move my photos over to the SD slot (manually).
Sigh. It seems like it has some of the pieces to be a great feature phone, but they haven't put them together properly.
What image options are available when taking photos? If they offer options, how big are the best quality photos?

My guess is that they re-used the software for another Samsung phone that did not have a card slot. I can't think of any other reason why the option is not there. But yes, proper testing would have found this flaw.
> What image options are available when taking photos?
Zoom, effects, flash, multishot, ISO options, autofocus off/on etc.
>If they offer options, how big are the best quality photos?
Just look at the camera images I have in the article. They are all taken with the highest quality/res settings and they are transfered here unmodified.

I'll tell you why they didn't offer to save photos to the Sd card, it's evident tome from the start; if they offer this function people don't use network services (email, MMS etc..) and as such this feature does not generate any revenue for the network operator, hence no interest in the product.
Phones are crippled because the network operator is buying the phone, not you.

I feel like my samsung X640 is way too old even tho I bought it around Jun or Jul last year.. given that I am not that interested on mobile phones stuff.
I am quite impressed about this model by reading your review. I've just searched a bit on google korea, and It seems that there are some other similar models(unltra editions) with different materials(one of them is used in aircraft I rekon) too. Wow

Shinwa is a korean boy band and quite popular in china, taiwan and other asian countries as well. I don't really like them tho, they were used to be popular mostly around late 90' among my collegues.
I don't know "Alone in love", but it seems there is a Korean drama called 'Alone in love'. Anyway, thanks for your reply. no more wondering

I'm on my first Samsung phone, an A900 from Sprint, which I believe is nicknamed Blade and somewhat competes with RAZR.
It seems like most Samsung products to have great specifications and poor operation. Of course, the A900 competes with the RAZR as being the most irritating phone to use. Shouldn't one or two companies design all the phone interfaces to make it more consistent? At least, they should collaborate on navigation standards.
This D900 you're showing us looks great, especially since it includes Korean videos. :-) It's great that it works with various documents. Hopefully, it's easy to transfer files and it will recognise them without undue "fun" whether using a USB cable or Bluetooth.
I wonder how good the data transfer is since Sprint claims average 400-700 Kbps data rate and a burst rate over 1 Mbps.

Just a little writing tip for the author: parenthesis are for extra information not about the subject at hand, e.g. to comment on something. Among other things, reading text with a lot of parenthesis is fairly annoying, so I tend to use them sparingly.

Here's a tip for you : it's a blog called "I Like Parentheses (so get used to 'em)" ( http://blog.josh-peters.name/ ) ;-)
