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.
