Samsung SGH-D900I Ultra 12.9 User Reviews

This mobile was initially quite good but after 1 year began to show it's software failings, literally.  Of it's own accord, the signal would simply disappear - sometimes up to a few hours - unless I pressed the 'cancel' button then it would immediately reappear.  Therefore, I'd have to check the phone more than I wanted too.  Coincedentally, the exact same error appeared on a different model Samsung of a friend.
SMS' would 'jam up' in terms of you're typing then couldn't send unless you cancelled the SMS (sometimes it'd not offer the opportunity to save it to draft).
After seeing it advertised with the Piscal viewer, it came without.  A Samsung UK rep. acknowledged this and said "we'll have to change the advert then".  Nice. 
The metallic plastic coating on the sides wore off which left a nasty look and a bit of a mess. 
The sliding function is a bit of a hassle at times.
An average phone that still functions but is relgated to the draw.

Personally i had expected more.But, everything that it did have worked really good.conclusion: the d900i is good multimedia phone and considering it's current price...                 i really recommend it.

I did a little research on this phone prior to buying it and it has certainly paid off. I bought the Samsung SGH-D900 (Black) in May of 2007 for about $250, the next cheapest I could find was $399. If you want to know the website, send an email, I'd be more than happy to assist you.
Pros: MS Office Viewer, PDF File Viewer, Expandable MicroSD Slot, 3.15MP Camera with flash, 7 language options, slim.
Cons: Keypads feel a little cheap but after months of usage, you should develop a feel for use.
The website I bought it from is selling it for $120 now, brand new and fully unlocked. Overall, I think the screen should be slightly bigger since it does view files, keypads should be harder/more responsive.

I really wanted to like this phone. My last phone was a Samsung D807 and I loved it so much I researched to find what the update was. I ordered an unlocked version of the D900i from overseas since it wasn't available in the States. I especially looked forward to the FM radio and Piscel viewer feature. I read a lot of negative user reviews online, but the "professional" reviews were all glowing, so I figured I'd take a chance.

Half of the features described in the professional reviews are absent. There is NO Piscel viewer and, as far as I can tell, no way to view PDF or MS Office docs on this phone, which is a major shame. The FM radio requires the included headset to function since it acts as an antenna, so even though it supports Bluetooth stereo, you'll have to bring these earbuds with you to use the only thing the D900i has over the D900 (which DOES support Piscel).

Customization options are gimped as well. No custom SMS or MMS sounds. Only two background options. No options for dialing screen, etc. Real shame, lots of missed opportunities.

The phone itself is nice. Great design, size. The 3 megapixel cam is as nice as you'd think and the screen and sound quality is great. If I could do it again, I'd get the D900 and skip the D900i.

fantasic phone i am astonished with it had no problems had it nor for a few months no damage no cracked screen still in one piece fantastic
and i after reading that comment i pressed on my screen fairly hard to see if anything would happen and nop stayed as normal so you didnt look after it sorry mate but its true :P

decent phone

the style, the design, the quality are goods...
those who break the slide, they just didn't took care of it...
the only thing i dont like...
it does not a 3G phone, also do not have front camera!

I bought this phone two weeks ago and despite being treated very carefully, the LCD cracked, leaving it useless. I've had about 8 mobile phones before and never had a problem with any of them.

LCD problems aren't covered by warranty. This phone is structurally weak (and the rest of it isn't too flash either).

It's a lemon.

ive had it for, idk a while now
and it is a pretty good phone.
the only part i dont like
is how you cant have mp3 tones
as your sms tone.
:/
the sound when you want to play mp3 is ok, but not the loudest.


other then that id give it an 8 over all !!

great value for this money, indeed!but...they could let us put some mp3 for the sms tone, the camera is not amazing, but u get nice photos.all in all, great value for the money.and great design!battery surprising for such a slim phone!very good!lasts for 3-4 days with medium use.

well, right now I have it for like 5-6 months. It's really good phone BUT...
You can't change themes or put mp3 for message alert, which kinda sucks...
Camera needs like 5-6 sec to capture the picture...

And my slide has broken

The phone is really good....the camera takes some time long to capture in autofocus mode but its ok in pan focus mode. Its really light and is invisible in a jeans pocket. Looks delicate but it has survived 3,4 falls... so its strong too... message tone cant be changed other than defaults and no ringer profiles... But in 200$ its worth the money.. great value phone

well, right now I have it for like 5-6 months. It's really good phone BUT...
You can't change themes or put mp3 sound for message ton, which kinda sucks...
The earphones/headphones (whatever) are weird, they keep falling out off my ears...
Camera needs like 5-6 sec to capture the picture...
And the sending message really starts to pissing me off... Me personaly!!!
Plastic is little too easy to damage...

All in all, it's quite good phone!!!

ENGLISH IS NOT MY MATTERNAL LANGUAGE!!!!!!
