Beyond Limits
The Ultra Edition 9.9 (SGH-D830) has a minimalist design that looks as good as it functions which enable you to enjoy the full spectrum of this handset’s features. Minimalist design meets maximum performance, all with a depth of less than 10 mm!
The Samsung SGH-D830 is the thinnest folder phone in the world, the only model comparable in the market is the NEC L1 (2mm thicker) that was released a year ago. The D830 is perhaps the most technically advanced model out of the entire Ultra series, and this might explain why it is the most recent model to ship. Today we will see if the D830 lives up to the Ultra hype, and if it was worth the wait.
The SGH-D830 is a marvel of design, particularly when it comes to thinness. Samsung has incorporated a wonderful screen too. However, thinness aside, I found its size in the hand a bit much at times. It was awkward to open the clam, while the flat keyboard was a barrier to efficient use, despite its large keys.
This phone is the slimmest phone currently on the market, fitting perfectly into any pocket. Although thin, it is packed with extra features, including a 2.0 Megapixal camera. 80 MB of memory, 1000 message storage and an addition memory card slot. However as a result of the slim design, the phone is slightly let down by its battery life and touch sensitive keypad.
The Samsung D830 is defiantly better suited to those who prefer to call, rather than text, and charge their phone regularly. That said, I would have to recommend this phone to anyone.
With clamshells all seemingly coming with dual screens, dual cameras, and dual everything else these days, the first thing you’ll notice is that the D830 is lacking both the dual camera - unsurprisingly its not 3G - and a decent dual screen on the front.
The front, which according to some we’ve shown also looked like the back - i.e. bland, features a simple single colour display that offers basic information like the signal strength, battery info and time and date.
