    "Better than D807"

    by ballsagna on June 27, 2006

    Pros: Screen; MP3s as Ringtones; Videos; Camera; Style

    Cons: Locks up occasionally; unintuitive Ring Style selection

    Summary: I am very happy with my decision to return Cingular's Samsung D-807 and get T-mobile's Samsung T-809.

    Pros:
    - Nice external speakers - really loud too!
    - Excellent speakerphone
    - Gorgeous screen
    - Nice MP3 player
    - External memory a HUGE plus!
    - MP3's as ringtones!
    - Photo/Video Caller ID!

    Cons:
    - Battery lasts about 30 hours with moderate use.
    - Locks up sometimes if MP3's dont agree with it
    - Volume Rocker plays 3 second clip of default ringtone if you change the volume. (annoying, can't do it quiety)
    - Have to go through several menus to put it on vibrate mode.

    Suggestions:
    - Get a screen protector (like one for a PSP) and cut it to fit, that way you can press on the screen to open/close the slide.
    - Use lowest brightness setting to achieve more battery time.

    I like this phone so much better than the D807 because the external speakers/headset/speakerphone are much, much louder. The D807 that I had was very quiet and this one trumps it!
