Conclusion
With
its sleek, modern look, compact size, and capable features, the Samsung
D807 offers an impressive combination of style and performance that will
make it a popular RAZR alternative.
Set off by the D807's chrome-framed, black matte finish, the 262K-color
LCD screen is among the best on the market and is the centerpiece of the
phone's distinctive look. At 176 x 220 px, the screen presents impressive
size to go along with bright, vivid images.
Not limited to just good looks, the D807 delivers solid multimedia offerings.
Capable of print-quality photos, the 1.3-megapixel camera is a nice feature
but the lack of a flash prevents it from being a full replacement for a
standalone camera. The MP3 Player has a simple, user-friendly design and
the external memory card allows the user to keep an impressive array of
songs stored on the phone as well as pictures, videos, and ringtones.
EDGE capability allows the phone to connect to the internet and download
data, applications, games, and media for the phone. Already lagging behind
the offerings of Verizon and Sprint, EDGE is being replaced by HSDPA. However,
its does provide one of the farthest-reaching networks even if it is at
modest speeds.
Extensive Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless communication for data
transfer as well as the use of popular headset and hands-free devices.
Excellent voice recognition software mitigates a keypad that may lead
some to misdial. Other concerns with the D807 are the low earpiece / speakerphone
volume and short battery life which may be troublesome for some users.
Overall, the D807 offers a distinctive, compact phone with well-thought
out, capable features. Consumers who buy this phone for its unique look
will be pleased with what they find on the inside.
