Samsung SGH-D900 Ultra Edition 12.9

The Samsung SGH-D900 is the third in the Ultra Edition series of phones which has the 6.9 (X820), 9.9 (D830) and this 12.9 (D900). Those numbers represent the thinness, so this actually makes the D900 the thickest in the Ultra Edition series. But fear not—this is still the slimmest phone once you take a look at the features!

Basics and Ergonomics
Getting the basics out of the way, the D900 is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset. There’s no 3G or HSCSD, which can be a negative given the price of the phone, but there’s still a long time before India warms up to that technology, so you won’t be missing out on anything.

The D900 is, as mentioned before, 12.9mm or 1.29cm thin. This makes it slimmer than the RAZR’s 1.39cm. It’s almost as wide as the RAZR and just a wee bit longer, but overall more compact. Since you don’t need to slide open the phone to make or receive a call (if you don’t dial), the phone is smaller.





The display is a bright QVGA (320x240) TFT showing off 262k colors. The display is sharp and vibrant, but in sunlight however, it goes a bit dull.

The keypad is has pretty large keys that are comfortable to use, but the lowest row (*, 0, #) is not, since its got a thick wall-like rim right below it. So, while you can use the rest of the keys with the center of your thumb, you’ll need to use your thumb-tip for the lowest row keys. On the top, the soft keys and call/end keys are very spacious, very comfortable, but the ‘C’ key has the same problem as the D820—it’s a very narrow strip that again requires thumb-tipping. The five-way navigation pad is roomy, but the down key will need a little care because the 'C' key is right under it.
