This handset is great, I'm in love with its sleek design and crystal clear LCD. I also like the camera, even though its only 1.3 mpixel picture clarity is comparable to a 2.0 mpixel camera.
I have a question though, can somebody teach me on how to set mp3 as text message tone. I can only use it for my ringing tone. Thanks.

The fact is this is a great phone. I have had it for a while and it works fine. First it you can set mp3's as ringtones. You have to have the T809 from T-mobile though, not the D820. They have slight differences in the way they work. If you want MP3's as ringtones, before you put them onto your fone, change the extension to .3gp, transfer to your microsd card, and then copy to the phone. Thats how you get MP3's to work as ringtones. Second this phone has a great screen with great resolution. The video and picture quality is also great. I record with it and get videos and pictures onto my computer all the time and its very easy. The only problem i had is dust collecting inside the screen. I went to a T-mobile store and they are sending me a new one. Overall this is one of the best phones you could have. Its easy to use, it has tons of options, displays great pictures, has alot of memory, great speakerphone, and the thing just looks cool as hell. I always see people staring at it while i use it. I would recommend this phone to anyone. The only problem you might have other than the dust behind the screen is with the battery. The first one I got, the battery would just run out an hour or so after charging. All you gotta do is take it back to the store and they will give u a new one.

you can put off the keypad tone only when you are on the normal mode in display settings.

Just laid my hands on Samsung D-820. I was using a Nokia 6670 so getting accustomed was a little difficult. It has a good set of features but it's a whole lot iffirent from a smartphone..
Lovely sound though. Eliminates any need of a mp3 player when paired up with the bundled set of earphones..

Elena: you can convert musics from audio CD to mp3s by using software like iTunes from apple. You can then transfer the music from the PC a couple different ways. The easiest way would be using a card reader so that you can transfer your songs directly to your memory card. If you don't have a card reader, you can change your usb setting in your phone as mass storage. It will then recognize your phone as a mass storage. However, you need to have your memory card inside the phone in order for this to work, because the mass storage is basically your memory card inside the phone.
WOW: it's kinda hard to explain over this forum, but you can hold on to your phone by holding firmly the SIDES of your phone with your index finger and thumb. Then, using the other hand, use your thumb's nail to slide the battery cover, while at the same time, using your other fingers from the same hand, make a counter force from the top of the phone but just below the battery cover. Hmmm.. Even I'm lost right now, but you should get the idea.. hehehehehe
cv: yes, you can convert DVD movies so that you can watch it in your phone. My suggestion is use available softwares out there to convert DVD movies into something more general (like avi, mpeg, etc. etc.). You can then use Video Total Converter and convert that file into mp4 files. I can't give you any names for converting DVD into avi or mpeg coz I haven't use those myself. What I usually use to convert DVD into a movie file can be found at www.doom9.org. But since you're not a technical person, it may take a while to learn, but it's free. Keep on trying... Oh, don't forget, you're gonna need a big memory card too to hold the movies. I don't suggest watching DVD movie out of your phone though. Besides the small screen, it'll suck up the battery real fast.

if you're used to a smart phone then do not get this phone for it's features. the design is great but it lacks in function. i used to have nokie 6670 and it got jacked so i bought this one to try a samsung for the first time.
(+) sleek design, great screen, good mp3 player
(-) dumb functions: side volume button on idle changes key volume and not ringer volume (why? who knows...), calendar view doesn't let you preview the events (you need to click on the day and then go through the menu to get back to month view), caller ID pix don't show in outgoing calls, no voice recognition functions
i don't recommend this phone if you're looking for functions but i guess it's my fault i knew it wasn't a smart phone and hoped it could live up to one...
Now it is my turn...the so call dumb functions are dumb complains, NONE of the things you have commented are necessary! If that is the different between D820 and a smart phone, that smart phone arent that smart and so is you then...i mean if you chooses a phone based on the function of the side keys, calender, caller ID in outgoing calls which you are not going to look at anyway and a voice dialing function, you may as well use a old nokia 8310!! HAHAHAHA
honestly why do you need to have a photo of the person u r calling? didnt u choose the person from the phonebook b4 u call? y do you need to know who you are calling then??????

I got this phone today ... Intially i was all excited to see how sleek the phone is .. After playing with the phone for a while i started missing lot of features ..
1.I want to have a vibration+melody like all other phone allow you do..
2.Does this phone beep if you miss call like Razr? If the screen goes off there it is really hard to get the missed calls?
3. Is there a way to fast switch between vibration and Normal Ring?
4 Is there any way you can use slide the phone with just one hand?
Firstly, mmm...try the sound setting and you will see a melody + vibration option.
Secondly, as with ALL Samsungs, simply press and hold # for one second to switch between viration and melody. This is FAR easier than V3. Also it allows you to choose either mute or just vibrate as your quite mode!
Thirdly, one of my habbit is sliding the phone up and down continuous with my left hand and use the mouse with my right hand, so...if you cant open it with you dominant hand, something is wrong with you... I dont blame one being handy capped...

What are you talking about? It has 4 different reminding tones to choose from and they are loud, and if you missed it, there is ALWAYS a little annoying blue clock like icon on the top right corner of the screen even when you are in other menus. And the reminding message should never go away befor you read it too. As for name card...get the real thing!

Hi. I am in South Africa. I got my D820 last Thursday after reading all your opinions. I just wonder if it is possible to divert a dvd music video onto phone.
I am not a technical person, so maybe my question was answer already.
Can someone please help me.
