Let me confuse you a little bit more.Lol.
D830 has another issue.I'm not sure how much camera user you are. It doesnt have a dedicated camera button on the side..that means you have to open the flip and take a pic...the front display is tiny, so it would help in self protrait. Just wanted to let you know before you make up your mind.
Read the review:It suppoed to come in different textured color as well.

IMO This phone is purely fashion phone, just for the record.

Red colour my least favourite I don't like red no wouldn't choose that colour.
Silver hmm bit plain may make the phone look more boring hmm not too sure. Probably not the best choice.
Black now I like that it gives it a nice edge and yeah could get that colour.
Blue I really like that the shade of blue is really nice it's a nice light colour. May get that my favourite one just narrowly ahead of the black colour.
What colour has everyone else got and is the blue nicer then the black. Is black a colour where you would say hmm everyone has had that colour. Also still unsure of the design from the back and I thought it would b way slimmer then the RAZR but it's not really. I may consider getting the
Z400 instead as that design is still nice but it is only £170.00 and will be cheaper.

Having looked at all the different colours on the live photo. I now quite like the front of it it does look plain but nice it took a while to like. But then when it flips open it does have a similarity to the RAZR. But I think the samsung one is nicer as it is thinner bu still is quite long. The only bit I dn't like is the back of it. It doesn't look nice from the back as it looks wide and fat haha. Hmm but from the front I do now like it.
Anyone else like the design or is unsure of the design?

Thankyou very much Kal for those pictures of the phones. It really helped make my decision because they are live photos. Hmm it has kind of put me of I think the design at the front when the phone is closed isn't that nice as I thought. It is quite wide and long. Hmm still unsure I don't know about having the camera button right at the top hmm still unsure. I think it's best if I go into an actual shop and have proper play with it then make myy final decision.

And a friendly advice to "Del", you should always do some reserch and read some reviews before buying a phone. We all know that the battery is not great (its a thin phone afterall) and the keypad is not comfortable for heavy use. If you bought it whithout knowing, then its your fault..dont blame samsung.

The 830 is plasticy and cheap looking, I also hate it cos it does not connect to my bluetooth headset and no PC connection cables were supplied. It's also not very easy to open. Motorola much nicer phone.

Got my D830 two days ago and it is a GREAT mobile. MUCH slimmer than V3i and higher specification.
Guys like DEL either i) do not know to appreciate good phones ii) never actually bought the damn thing and they are just anti-Samsung.
Hey DEL what is your IMEI number on your D830?

A great breakthru in mobile technology.Extremely user friendly and handy. One of the best in the world. Better than most expensive other brands. Hats off to Samsung.

Oh and buy the way I have just compared this phone to the Motorola V3. The D830 weights 85 g as the motorola weights 95g. This phone maybe little taller then the RAZR but the D830 is no way near as wide as the RAZR. So the Samsung phone style is much better and much slimmer,. People need their eyes testing if they think the RAZR is smaller compared t this phone.

Samsung will always be better then Motorola. This design is far better and smaller then the RAZR and looks more stylish. The Motorola colours look more tacky these colours give the phone an eleegant aora to the phone. Stop complaining about it. The only drawbacks is the batterylife and the keypads but that isn't life-threatening and people should eb able to live with that. If your battery life goes quickly all you have to do is charge every couple nights not a major thing you must do. Just take the charger with you if your staying at a mates or out not too much of a problem. I say people should buy this phone top quality well done Samsung.

Don't say that Del by putting people of the phone. This phone is slim and looks really good and I want it. I love the design and I prfer the style to those of the D600/D500/Z400. What games are on this phone and does it have a video player. Even though the battery life isn't perfect it won't stop me from buying this phone I so love the design. The designn is perfect for girls.

I have had my new D830 for one day and I can definitely say that it is the worst phone I have ever used. I hate it so much I want to throw it out the window! Everything about it is either difficult to use. I find the keypad especially unresponsive. I am now returning my 830 to try to get a much better phone. I luv'd my old V3.

Correction to my last opinion:
the D830 has NO resemblance of a RAZR!

For goodness sake,stop calling it a RAZR copycat.D830 belongs to the Ultra Edition Series,5 other phones belong to that series.There is another 3G Ultra Edition phone in superslim clamshell form,are you freaks gonna call it a RAZR copycat? I already said,it's under a SERIES of phones that are meant to be slim! X820 is superslim,are y'All gonna call it RAZR copycat? NEC has a 11.9mm thick clamshell phone,are y'All gonna call it a RAZR copycat? CRAZY..Plus,this phone has resemblance of a RAZR!

Tell me something guys.
1. Phone Rings----well you are in a noisy place you didnt hear...fine natural
2. Phone Vibrates---well the phone is not with you---fine, that happens.
3. Phone Rings then Vibrates---well you are in a noisy place but the phone was in your pocket and you didnt notice?.hmmm
4. Phone Vibrates then Rings---still you cant notice that you are getting a call???
What difference it will make if it Rings and Vibrates at the same time?
I think you are just absent-minded..and you diserved the miss call.

do not bother about ring and vibrate simultaneously because SAMSUNG is SAMSUNG and they do not want to make any unpractical functions. Maybe they are offering it to samsung d820, D900 and etc. but the good news is that you can vibrate then ring your message alert withouy affecting your ring alert as well as it has a repetition mode for your message alert by 1 to 2 minutes intervals. As long as you can use your downloaded songs as a caller ringtone, ringtone and alarm tone, well that would be fine.
