Amazon.com Product Description

This feature-packed quad-band phone from Samsung combines a super-slim slider design with the latest technologies, making it a must-have tool for those who demand the best. Goodies include Bluetooth, support for EDGE high-speed data, a 1.3 megapixel camera, a music playwer, and a microSD memory card slot. The Samsung D807 is the perfect way to take advantage of all that Cingular service has to offer.

Design
The D807's sliding design hides the phone's number pad under the display until you need to make a call. The big 176 x 220 display supports up to 262,000 colors -- plenty of resolution and color depth for your videos and photos. A five-way center control button is positioned below the display, as are shortcut and selection keys. The phone's 1.3 megapixel camera is housed behind the screen. There's also a connector for a stereo 2.5 mm headset.

Calling Features
With 18 MB of internal memory, the D807 is designed to hold all the contacts, phone numbers and addresses you can throw at it. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls, and in addition to a vibrating alert, the D807 supports polyphonic ringtones and MP3-based music ringtones. You can also download additional MP3 music ringtones from Cingular's MEdia Net service. A speakerphone lets you talk hands-free while you're doing other things, and picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. Speaker independent voice dialing makes it easy to speak the name of a contact and dial it instantly. And lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The D807 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Messaging clients for AOL, MSN, Yahoo!, and ICQ are included. Meanwhile, the phone's email client lets you stay on top of your emails when you're on the go.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the D807, too. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile Web browsing. Cingular's MEdia Net service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile text messaging users.

A number of handy productivity tools are bundled with the D807 including a voice memo recorder, an alarm clock, a calculator with unit and currency converters, a calendar, and a to-do list.

Imaging and Entertainment
The D807's built-in 1.3 megapixel camera captures stills and video to the phone's internal memory, or to an optional microSD memory card. The still camera features white balance and brightness controls, as well as a multi-shot mode and a self timer.

Into music? You're in luck with the D807. Store your favorite MP3-based music on a memory card and listen whenever the feeling strikes you. And if you want to dress up the D807, picture effects, custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be set to fit your personality.

Java support is built into the D807, making it a powerful gaming companion. Games are downloadable via the MEdia Net service.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SGH-D807 weighs 3.46 ounces and measures 3.82 x 2.05 x .61 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 10 days of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Excellent phone in some areas, mediocre in others.......2007-06-03

I loved this phone, overall, and I'd buy it again (it got stolen) any day.

Calls: 4 stars. The sound quality was fine, not excellent, but fine. Reception worked well with cingular in most areas, considerably better than a Sony Ericsson I'd had before. Features to see missed, received, and dialed calls, as well as icons to let you know if you missed a call, work well.

Texting: 5 stars. The shortcut key to create a new text message makes texting quick and easy, as well as options to send to recent recipents and other fancy things. Picture texts worked perfectly. Icons to let you know you got a texted were flawless. The best phone I've ever had for texting and for me its main redeeming quality. t9 predictive text works well, isn't the fastest ever, but it works well.

Camera: 4 stars. The camera can zoom in a bit and has about 6 or 7 different options for picture taking including grayscale, negative, and sepia. You can add frames to the pictures, that's a bit uneccesary but fun. The actual pictures themselves are fine quality on the phone. You wouldn't want to print them out, but they're fine. There is no cord to transfer pictures to your computer. Bluetooth works well, but you have to reconnect for every picture you want to send, which is a bit time-consuming and inconvenient. The quality of the pictures on a computer is mediocre at best, but fine in small sizes. There is no flash and no digital zoom, only an optical. Shutter lag is about average.

Music: 1 star. The mp3 player on the phone is pretty much useless. You can, however, record things and have them be ringtones with it. Other than that, its useless.

Slide Design: 3 stars. The slide design looks really good. Everyone always wanted my phone, they were all in awe of the slide design. It is very popular and a really good design. HOWEVER! It has a few major flaws. Mainly, if you are holding the phone to your ear it is very easy to accidentally close the phone and hang up on someone. Also, if the phone is in your pocket you will invariably answer and then hang up on someone while you are trying to get the phone out. That's a major flaw because I was always missing calls because of that.

Overall: 4 stars. Its a really good phone, and I will buy it again, but be aware of the slider's flaws. If you're a guy who doesn't wear very baggy pants, I wouldn't buy the phone because of the major problems that occur trying to take it out of your pocket. I just make sure to keep my phone in my purse, but for some that might be too much of an inconvenience.

Poorly Manufactured - Made in China.......2007-05-28

I bought two of these, one for me and one for my wife. We have had them less than a year and both are broken. Neither phone will charge anymore and to compound the problem there is no external "desktop" charger made for this phone. I have always had Samsung phones and have always been happy. This phone however is the first one that I have owned that is made in China not Korea and is very poorly made. Echoing some other complaints, the ringer is too quite and calls are frequently missed. I like the form factor but can only warn others to look elsewhere.

Some great features ... some not so great........2007-05-11

Pros:
- Great looking phone
- Great sound/video quality. Excellent speaker phone
- Voice activation/recognition ... best I have used.
- Contact list ... multi-number per user, picture and custom ringer.

Cons:
- Ringer volume -- way too low .. my wife and I both miss calls constantly
- Vibrate alert -- way too low .. constantly miss calls on vibrate
- LCD screen -- cracked after 3 months .. $119 to fix.

I wouldn't buy it again and won't repair it.

Samsung D807 .......2007-05-09

There are a few pros and cons on this phone. The pros really are the voice command..its pretty easy to use and probably helpful at times. I never use it. I think the worse thing about the phone is the stupid clock. You can change it but everyone blocks half of your screensaver. Don't plan on getting a cool screensaver because you wont get to see it. You can't take the clock off either. The speakerphone is ok but I have had way better. Its low and sometimes hard to hear. With the ringtones you can't save a mp3 and use it as a ringtone which is crappy. The volume of the ringtone is pretty nice. I would say if I had to do all over again I wouldn't have got this phone. I don't love it but have alot more time on my contract...hope this helps

Better then a flip!.......2007-05-07

I got this phone in March and after a month I really like it. It is so much better then a flip phone. It is much more durable and dependable. The signal coverage it great. I wish the volume could be turned up higher on the speaker phone, but I usually use a Bluetooth headset, so for most of my calls it doesn't matter. Some people say the buttons are small. I find the buttons no smaller or harder to get at then any other comparable sized phone. My hands are larger then average and I have no trouble using the buttons. Battery life is awesome and having the memory card slot is a bonus, I can carry around personal files and other digital info, pix, music(mp3), etc.
