D900 - First Take

Matt · 02-06-2007, 04:51 PM

Where to start?

This is by far the most fun phone I have owned. An absolute gem. I ordered the limited edition wine colour to replace the black version and it is stunning! The fit and finish of the phone is second to none. It feels so great in the hand. I am generally unimpressed with the way most sliders (LG Chocolate) move up and down. However, with the D900, it slides with a smooth ease that is only rivaled by it's Samsung T629 cousin.

Pros:

Solid reception
Camera/Pic quality (3.13 megapixel)
Ease of music player
Style
QVGA screen
Fit and Finish quality
Ringtones sound great
Earpiece clarity
Strong vibrate mode
Built in photo editor
A2DP Stereo headphone support
Above average (thin phone) battery life
Bluetooth works flawlessly

Cons:

Menu can be confusing.
Received pics small (?)
Cannot set custom tone for messages
Speakerphone only average

It's hard to find many flaws in this device. I love the reaction I get from my fellow phone geeks when they see it. Above and beyond that, it just feels and performs like the $300+ price suggest it should. I'm extremely please with this purchase.

Awesome review. Great looking phone. Kudos Matt. :)

One thing you left out though: what carriers have it?

Matt · 02-27-2007, 09:29 AM

None in the US. I am not sure in Europe.

I got it unlocked.

Oh. Samsung & LG has some awesome phones overseas. Some that look nothing like anything we have here. I want them...
