I had a high expectation over this brand. However, the battery does not last long, and the touch pad is hard to use. I do like the design of the flip top though.
I didn't care for lack of 3G. Yes you can make more categories but really these 2 suffice. I live in Texas and use T-Mobile and few places in America have the infrastructure to compete with high-tech ones in Japan and Europe so for you who care it's useless to complain about this. An example would be the ridiculously-extravagant diamond Vertu vs an ugly clam shell Nextel phone the UPS driver might use after dropping this one at your house. I bought the noble blue color because the ice silver one was $20 more (also comes in pink and topaz gold but not black :( ). Of course, several newer models had arrived similar to it such as the Ultra Edition II series phones (D900 was Ultra Edition I 12.9). The E840 though stole the crown for the slimmest slider in the world at 10.6 mm and it still felt sturdier than its counterpart.
I needed another quad band slider that was sexy, slim, and functional. Heartbroken, I immediately searched online for another D900. I did not care for a good camera anymore though (no phone camera compares to a simple point and shoot even like Nokia N96 or SE K850i). Battery life is subjective; I am a light user (rarely use mp3 player or camera, only for talking) whose avg phone convo lasts under 45 seconds with about 6 calls a day = 5 days no charging.
In the cell phone world, you can either have looks good or works well. Lastly, the U600 was $50 more even if though it is an inferior product to the E840 partly due to marketing and awareness; very few people know about the E840 as the difference in the number of reviews shows and availability online only. The phone's glossy front smudges easily but once clean looks gorgeous due to a 2.2" 240x320 screen (sunlight mode another plus against the u600's dim screen). Call quality is great. The former is an Ultra Edition II for its better 3MP camera. FM radio only works with the headset plugged in but I rarely listen to it anyway so no worries. This phone is a perfect blend between the two.My previous Samsung D900 Black Carob was destroyed in a freak accident after 2 years of loving use. The touch buttons are at the right sensitivity level so no cons there.
I chose the U600 and E840 for their light weight (81g vs 99g respectively) and sleek slider design. However, its touch keys were notoriously sensitive to the point where it called random people at the slightest movement in your pocket. Overall, if you're coming from a D900 or similar Samsung phone, the software essentially is the same thing. PS- If you want an update to the D900 without touch keys, buy the D900i for FM radio capability.
It has FM Radio capability and it's a great MP3 player, it's the slimmest & lightest phone i've ever had and I'm really happy with this purchase. When I took this phone out the box I was soooo impressed with with the design and it looks alot more expensive than it actually is. The phone arrived in a blink of an eye (in two days WOW.).It's definitely eyecatching and worth every penny, I put my SIM CARD in and that was all I had to do. I'll definitely be buying from MobileCity Online again. :-D P.S It scratches very easily so I suggest buying a case when purchasing the phone.
when i first got this phone i was stunned by the sleek design. it works well and it was worth every bit of the money spent.
Great phone, slim and lightweight product, also very durable. Not expensive, also good as a mp3 player.
