Samsung D807 Review
Rating: 7.0 / 10
Ultra-sleek, ultra-thin phones are the latest trend. The Samsung D807 delivers nicely, offering one of the thinnest phones currently on the market. Fashion combines with function on the D807, offering midlevel features and most importantly usability. The display is both gorgeous and functional, offering an extremely high resolution and a range of lighting options.
The D807 is a "slider" phone, meaning that rather flipping open and closed like many phones of today, the top section slides up and down over the bottom section of the phone. This allows the phone to fit into a very small space such as a shirt pocket. A disadvantage is that this design style leaves the phone's screen always exposed, opening it up to damage. Plastic screen covers are available through third party vendors and are highly recommended.
The D807 offers a variety of multimedia capabilities. The phone accepts micro-SD cards, allowing you to store your favorite music, videos, and pictures for easy access. Micro-SD also offers users an alternative to the integrated Bluetooth capability, for those whose computers do not support Bluetooth.
An integrated web browser and email support are standard on the D807, allowing users to conduct business on the road. However, the D807's internet capability operates on the older EDGE technology rather than the newer EV-DO network. This means that users will experience internet speeds closer to dialup than to the new "cellular broadband." Whether this is a problem depends on your personal internet needs.
The D807 is loaded with popular and fun applications from calculator and notepad features to games and ringtones. The phone offers plenty of ways to amuse yourself on long car trips. The music player lacks extremely enhanced features such a graphic equalizer but nonetheless plays music nicely. Personalization and customization options are virtually endless, from wallpaper themes to custom ringtones.
The Samsung D807 is a solid, middle of the road multimedia phone. The built in camera with video capability offers several photo options but does not come equipped with a flash. The sleek design will appeal to those who follow trends in both technology and fashion, but the shiny finish and slider design cause the buttons to be a bit slick and hard to manipulate. It seems that every disadvantage to the D807 is countered by an advantage and vice versa.
If you are in the market for a powerful workhorse, the Samsung D807 is probably not the best choice for you. However, if your data needs consist primarily of photo sharing and occasional email checking, and you want a sleek and elegant phone that will function reliably, the D807 may well meet your needs. The D807 is fun, flirty, and loaded with features. Reliable performance and functionality combine well with playfulness to make the D807 a solid entrant in the middle of the road category of cell phones.
