The Samsung SGH-D900i is a mid-range, quad-band slider-phone that finds much strength in its simplicity. Designed for professionals and the style-conscious, it fits function with “must-have” features (such as a music player and camera) into one of the slimmest form-factors on the market. Weighing in at 93g, the SGH-D900i has been designed for single-handed use, with its sliding front-panel revealing a spacious keypad with a flick of the thumb. The slightly raised keys on the sides provide quick access to the camera and volume features of this phone, alongside discreet slots for a MicroSD card and Samsung earphones/charger.
Like a Fashion Week catwalk model, the Samsung SGH-D900i garners most of its appeal from being super-skinny, shiny, and appearing to have not much on. Having most of the keys hidden away under its thin, sliding face is a definite aesthetic boon; given that the menu and contacts can be navigated without sliding the phone open, the Samsung SGH-D900i can be appreciated at its smallest the majority of the time. However, the Samsung’s sleek lines and mirror-finish have a fatal flaw — while looking gorgeous in the box, it only takes a few uses to develop a scratch or two and a grubby layer of smudges. Sadly, you cannot imagine the Samsung SGH-D900i ageing gracefully.
The Samsung SGH-D900i has thrown in its all with its 3MP camera and video recording mode. There are oodles of ways you can get more creative with your photos, beyond changing more conventional shooting options such as ISO and white balance. Included are effects such as sepia and black-and-white, plus the sort of frames that would be at home in a Japanese sticker-photo machine. The camera and video include 4x digital zoom and auto-focus. Thankfully, the quality of the photos can be matched by Samsung’s 2-inch, 262k-colour QVGA TFT screen, which is bright and displays crisp images.
Tucked away amidst the Applications are a Music Player, Voice Recorder and FM Radio. All of which are best enjoyed when using the provided Samsung headphones, unless you’re one of those types that mercilessly belts tunes on the train, to the chagrin of everyone else. The Music Player supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, and e-AAC+ audio formats and can also play through Bluetooth-enabled speakers.
