I've been a D500 and a D600 owner, and am thinking about the D900. Almost all my questions about this model have been answered by you all except about the sliding feature. Anyone know if the D900 slider is semi-automatic? Also, does this phone have the "plastic toy" look? Thanks much for your help...

Can you change you the Message tone on this handset to a personalised 1, Thats the only thing that is very irritating about this phone and all the other Samsungs

Does D900 has the same issue as previous models for which vibrate + ringing is not possible?

You can play with the system settings to raise the earpiece volume (amongst other things).
type *#8999*8378# and you will get into the system software settings. Go to H/w and Normal, then change the rx settings to 250, and the rx level (lower down) to 150 on level 5. That should make the earpiece plenty loud! Did for me....
Check out Howardforums for a more detailed explanation.

Well just got my D900. Looks and works great. The only thing I don't like is the volume of the speaker I was expecting a little more. But over all for the 3 hours I have used it before the battery died it's a nice looking phone.

Bought one today, but my problem is that none of the ringtones are loud enough. They are the quietest I've ever heard. You've no chance of hearing it ring in, say a car.
I called Samsung, they agree and suggest I try downloading some others rather than use the default tones.
I'm pissed off because I love it otherwise. I've a feeling I'll end up taking it back and go for yet another Nokia.
I can't believe no one else has noticed this.

The D900 is available at the carphone warehouse sim free for £350. Its a great phone! I've had mine a couple of days now and would strongly reccomend it. If anyone has any questions i'll gladly answer.

Quick question Im sure most of you would like to know also.
Does this phone have the same ringing issue as the E900 where the volume/ringtone gradually increases instead of going at a constant volume when someone calls?

Ramzez - this is why you should get a phone with an operating system!
Far less software problems..
D900 is still a v good phone tho!

TO Jason
1) you probably can, or should i say will, be able to. The phone has just come out so give it a month or so and there will probably be new and free themes downloadable from the net.
2) Not sure. I know you can change it to a list format, but i should imagine you will need a new 'theme' to actually change the icons. See above for they will probably be findable..
And No TV out cable was supplied because it means you sh*t out more money to Samsung.

A couple of questions
1) Where can i get more themes from as the big ben one is a bit tediuos
2) Can you change the menu display like you could on the D600? I don't think you can but the menu is pretty dull.
One more thing... why the hell was there no TV output lead with the phone!!

Porky, you've made a good decision!
Tis an excellent phone, absolutely no regrets in getting mine. And this is coming from someone who has been using geeky Nokias for the past 5 years. My last phone was the 6680 (Symbian), so the D900 should be a step down in terms of versatility and ease of use (i.e. calling/texting/SOFTWARE), but im actually beginning to prefer it!
You might wanna check out the N73 just in case (something i never did). - May as well keep your options open, but i have an incling you'll be wanting to keep your street cred intact by going for the Samsung...

Agree with Dr - It is a very nice phone, with excellent features, should they bother you. Tbh i only want a phone to call/text, but the added features are always nice.
And yes the pencil that writes the numbers is nice, but i found it a bit sluggish and so switched to a very nice 1D method, where the numbers appear in big, bold lettering that is rainbow coloured.
The phone EVEN has animated backgrounds that work in REAL time! My phone has a House of Commons/Big Ben background, and when you slide the phone up, if its between the hours (in real life) of 6am to 7:59 pm, the background is daytime with crows flying around and if its 8pm to 5:59 am, then its night time, with lights lighting up Parliament and shooting stars flying around, very nice!
To Porky
If i had the chocie, i definately WOULD go for the D900. I could have got the E900 a month or so ago, but i found there was serious problems with the touch screen being TOO sensitive and making txting/calling a pain in the balls. But, more importantly, im a bloke, and its probably the most girly, feminine chunk of black plastic i have ever seen.
So to sum up MR Porky, the E900 is a b*tch phone, the D900 is better and is all manly. Like Yorkie.

Dear All
The Samsung D900 HAS Autofocus, and the lovely thing about it is, u press the button once all way,it auotofocuses byitself and then takes the picture, so no need for half a press,autofocus and then full press of button as in the Sony Ericsson K800i, and YES the autofocus does work!
Photo quality is very good.
The video: excellent quality and does record in 352x288 i tried it myself.
The phone is very slim, nice menu like the samsung E900.
Great phone.
Lovely thing about it, is when u dial a number and type in the number, on the screen it shows it as if someone was writing with a pencil stroke, so that is a new nice touch that i have not seen in other phones before.
Kind regards

It is larger than the E900, and you would need cateracts and neurological problems to not realise it IS bigger in your hand, but it is still a slender phone (oh and 4mm SLIMMER than the E900, which DOES make a difference).
Stop being a nerd and getting so anxious about the Samsungs size.
That's only justified if you are thinking of buying a clumsy Nokia...
