never use samsung before. so i dont know that the phone only can save to phone memory 1st. i've used SE before. the phone can save directly to mem card. it also can hot swap the card. beside some say, if we are playing mp3 and suddently take out the card, the card wont damage. just the player will exit outomatically. this is for SE phone. samsung i'm not sure about it. i think you should experiment wit it

i heard that this phone has trouble install java application. all java app must be download. if we try to transfer using BT and cabal, the app cannot use.

haih....it's really hard to decide. all phone has pros and cons. cannot get phone that really suite my interest. what to say, i'm really a fussy person

aww man...i want the red 1...anyway,means cannot transfer games or other java application thru cable??i think i'll get this phone after raya...c the price will drop a bit or not...

@lord
nop, you cant transfer games n jave app using cable. that is what i've read from somewhere. better clarify with LiNKInPaRk108.

which area do you live? what's the price in your area?

i face this stupid problem with my D900
it won auto save sent msg
have to manually select
anyone face this problem as i do?
or is it firmware problem

@ evilguy, lord

ALL samsung phones have a policy of not letting you install java games the official way. Though, there are always ways (enter specifc code and specific programs) for almost every samsung phone to transfer games through BT or cable to it. However, we need to have both JAR and JAD file and game compability is also an issue, as some games works and some don't. But glad to say that i have some links for d900 games (qvga 320x240 size) and the know how and had successfully transfered and played games on my phone for FREE! Samsung phones also have limited JAVA space of around 4MB. As for the pricing, i'm not so sure. Din went out to survey lately. Sorry.

@nicholas84

Old samsung phones such as e700 will ONLY autosave sent msg. As for the later d500, when sending msg, the 1st option is to save and send, 2nd is send only. But for d900, the sequence is reversed, 1st option send only and 2nd send and save. I guess it is up to personal preference and phone companies can't do anything unless they let you specify which option you usually use. As for me, it is a good change as i don't usually save sent msg so d500 was troublesome for me and d900 suits me more.

it's ok. i dont play java game much. however i do want to install some java program such as opera mini and other usefull app. but if i need to download all the program, it really troublesome using gprs/edge. the data servis by our telco is not cheap actually. maybe i will subscribe digi unlimited plan if edge connection is good/fast wit this phone.

i think automatic save for sent sms sometime troublesome. like SE phone, it automatic. however if your sms reach it's limit, you have to manually selected which sms you want to delete. imagine 200sms!!!. other option is to delete all the sms. as LiNKInPaRk108 said we can select wheter want to save or not our sms. for me i think it is better that way.

it's a bit troublesome for me and sometimes dangerous
i work in the financial planning industry
sometime really need to keep track what i text to clients

im at pj area...i havent checked out the price yet...lazy..lol..bcoz if i buy most prolly i'll buy from lyn members...my fren's bf is selling hp but dunno whether he has samsung or not...
ooo...macam tu....i think the sms thingie is ok for me bcoz i seldom have serious talk on sms...mostly crap...important 1 then will save it..
erm i think just have the press the down button once when selecting send or send n save...so just have to get used to it...

This phone is not that hot is it? Coz only few people using it. I'm still observing feedbacks from you guys coz i'm planning to buy one.

It was one of the phones that I wanted to buy, but ended going for SE K800i

It has good size and slider form factor, build quality is great too. But functional wise it's worse than its Nokia and SE counterparts (N73 and K800i, respectively)

I'm considering to buy this D900 coz the way it looks. It is so different. How I wish the overall function could match SE and Nokia. I've been using k700i for quite sometime now. Not to mention, a SE fanboy.

If I got other choice, the upcoming w850i would be my pick. But it look too soft and the rounded keypad looks so childish.

N series? An all rounder. But it's a Nokia. Nokia = mainstream (no offence.. personal preference).

My dream phone equation = nokia (functionality) + SE (brand) + Samsung (looks)

ya..i look at k800 thread...madness...here...only few...

erm...for n73 is a symbian phone so function sure lose d...but for k800 except for the 3G,wht else is lack of??

for me the disappointment is the 3g lor...maxis having promotion...i wanna try video call..

hmm, quite a lot to name actually.
- 3G (as you said)
- Camera (Major difference is here I can say - although both are 3MP, k800i is admittedly better with bestpic and xenonflash just to name a few)
- Battery life. If you only enable GSM but not 3G, it can easily last 3-5 days under normal usage. I've been using my phone for whole day (one call, around 10 SMSes, took a few pics and navigated around) and it hasn't drop a single bar yet (91%)
- Radio
- Support USB 2.0 instead of 1.1
- Has speaker phone mode

of course I'm not saying that K800i pwns D900 badly just because I own one. There are something that K800i lack of, but available in D900
- Document viewer (PDF, words etc)
- TV output
- Slider form factor, lighter ,and thinner!
-

owh.. man if that your dream phone, sure you a lot fussy than me actually i'm use to SE too. Use w800i for a while. i have dificulity to choose between this samsung and k800i.

what i like about d900
1. slim look
2. bright lcd compared to k800i

what i dont like
1. suspicious about the battery performance
2. no 3G

what i like about k800i
1. the camera
2. 3G

what i dont like
1. the design not nice, bulky
2. a lot heavier than d900

see... the pros and cons a equal. that is why i still in dilema

wht is speaker phone mode??as in loud speaker?

lol ya no 3g is a waste...i console myself by thinking not many of my frens have 3g phones so no1 to video call...


oh ya...cant use mp3 as msg tones but can use as ringtones?

@ samurai1337

Let me clarify here that D900 indeed has speakerphone.

@ evilguy

All i can say is D900 battery life is longer than other Samsungs that i had used. Previously they are on the average near below 2 days. D900 lasts near above 2 days. Though, the screen is so bright i only set the brightness to level 2 and it is more than enough for me.

If you want the 3G model then wait for December as another 3 3G Ultra models will be coming to the market. I had mentioned this in the Ultra 9.9 topic.

@ lord

Definitely can use mp3 as ringtones. Samsung only limits 2 things all the while, only default sms tones and only vibrate then ring on calls. D900 has taken away the 2nd limitation and i think it's only awhile later that the sms tone limitation will be unblocked soon.

actually i dont need 3g yet now. so this samsung is enough for me actually. the sms tone also i dont really bother about it. i going to make up my mind to buy this one. after raya maybe. k800i is good phone but the size... haih. dont really like bulky phone.

i think we should listen to LiNKInPaRk108 explanation about battery life since he used to samsung phone. maybe we, (i mean me ) never use samsung before. that's why so berhati-hati one. as old man said "not know then not love" english version of the malay pepatah.

hmm im getting it after raya too...havent seen the real phone yet...dont think i'll wait for the 3g ultra model bcoz IMO will be more expensive...n dont think i'll use 3g often..n abt the batt life...if scared then buy another batt lor...so no need to wait for it to charge everyday...

this model is one of my shortlisted phone also
how's the camera compared with K800 3.2mp?
and any bad feedbacks that said this phone doesnt worth the price?
havent use samsung phone b4 but i really like this design
cool and suitable for gurls even guys.

btw, how is the price now?

Well, this phone's selling point is its sleekness and thinness.. that's all.

If only E900 can be this thin...
