I cannot understand why such high-tech phones as Samsung's still cannot do such basic things as vibe and ring at the same time, or having customisable message tones. Should be time for their marketing team to come back from holidays and read their millions of emails about it....

        This phone is nothing like the V3. doesn't even resemble it in the slightest.
        It looks much cooler in real life (This Photo doesn't give it justice)
        I was surprised on how thin it was.and how well built (titanium I think) Had mine a couple of weeks now and I love it. The key pad is a little trick though, Wish it had been more like the D900 keypad...(I can live with it though)
        every one of my friends awe over this phone, Sexy and neat... I would have given it 10 out of 10 if it had not been for the keypad and the Battery life (I got 2 days with moderate use) but I can live with both issuse.. 9 out of 10

            D830 is a another crap phone from Samsung. Nowhere near as nice looking as the Motorola Raza line. Although the design is more or less a copy of the V3, it's also a lot more ugly!

              I must confess as I boost too much before by saying how good Samsung phones are in this forum. The truth is I do sell phones and Samsung phones are actually crappy ones.

              Sorry "Mod".

                i finally saw this phone on display at the mall. it's awesome. was able to tinker it. too bad it does not have an external screen. And as to who came out with the first thin phone, panasonic and samsung ,i believe, were the first to come out with thin phone before motorola, but motorola design made it possible to have more features and bigger screen and they were the first one to place the antenna below the phone which everyone is doing nowadays including samsung and nokia. by the way, am not a moto fan. :)

                  a phone with a good design but poor software is still a piece of rubbish, which is the problem with alot of Motorola phones. My friends with moto's (V3, v620, v220...) are always complaining about how their phone turns off or on at its own will...not to mention some of the other software problems that come with it.

                  The truth is, the newest Samsung phones are always released in Korea and are often superior. The ones you get in other parts of the world are second-class handsets compared to Korea (usually). So by the time the Moto RAZR came out there were already designs of that type by Samsung.

                  Nokias are alright because they're reliable but their design is boring. I'd go with Samsung anyday. Wouldn't ever buy a Motorola unless they shape up and stop releasing RAZR style phones and put some effort in designing something new!! Don't see any breakthroughs there.

                    LOL.why don't you go and say that in motoroal forum. Those hardcore moto fans, who have used motorola wont even believe you.

                    Is that what you got so far against my post? Dont see any logic or any facts to argue with. lol

                      When you people will learn to read and use the internet for some good purpose before posting silly coments?


                      You have seen a thin Samsung phone 3 years after RAZR came in the market, means Samsung copied RAZR?
                      Do you have idea that Samsung released V740 on the same day in Korea as of Motorola RAZR. It even had a better screen, rotating camera, external music control and more memory to bigin with. Now they have released that model as D810 or A900 in US and people like you are complaining that they are copy.

                      They are copying their own design not RAZR's.Moto doesn't have patent for thin phone.

                      Now please read this links below to get yourself educated.

                        After the Motorola Raza came out almost 3 years ago, Samsung copy them & produce a thinner phone......BUT this D830 is still wider & longer, AND the look is definately a lot more ugly compare to the Raza! ! !

                          Picked this phone up yesterday sim free £289
                          I've very well built, Made of Titanium metal i think, Feels nice in the hand and the pocket. Extreamlt Thin, suprised me how thin it was...it's actualy thiner than the Motorola SLVR L7, witch is a bar type..
                          The menues are exactley the same as the E900, The D900 menues are slightly diforent...
                          The only draw back I can see is the key pad. Its even wors than the D800 was. Too flat. Not very responcive, I supose I will get used to it in time, The Cetral Menue directunal buttns are also of the flat type, The whole key arangment is as one, I strugle with it, But there again I do have fat fingers..

                          Good phone, Exelant Build, Good Looking. Shame about the KeyPad

                            I really love the design, the only thing i don't like is the small front screen

                              Its been a couple of years now since the RAZR came out...and so far motorola coundn't think of proeducing a phone less than that 13.9mm.

                              This is 9.9mm ....and a calmshell for Gods shake. No one has such a thin clamshell in the market.

                              So whats your point again?
                              Why dont you ask motorola to make one huh?

                                      trz3, Nokia are not necessarily better. Lately Nokia's new models are so ugly and heavy. Especially the Nokia 6280 which is extremely prone to screen breakage. Just because a phone sells more does not make it better. Samsung are high quality and it really depends what you are looking for. I used to love Nokia back in the days of my trust old 3310, but in the new camera phone/colour phone world, Samsung are streets ahead of Nokia, especially design wise. Nokia's are just too bulky.

                                      mr nokia ,

                                      Nokia phones are definately better in all measure. Only Samsung sales will say the "good things"(ALL THE GIMMICK) about how good their Samsung phones are!
