Looking for a new phone. I don’t need a smart phone, but am looking for something that

1. Is a good phone (good reception, clarity and battery life)
2. Is a good form factor
3. Has good bluetooth (for use in car)

I’d like one that was capable of sync’ing w/ Outlook and a decent camera would be nice.

Was looking at the D900, comments?

Also found the N80, liked it. Not as pretty, but better UI. A bit more than I want to spend $ wise I think though.

In reality I want a quality phone that isn’t a POS like my current MOTO. I want a small phone, I can’t stand big phones. I charge it every night, so as long as it’s not dying mid day, I’ll be happy with battery life.

Suggest away! :hay:

My criteria are pretty much the same as yours. I want it to look good, and as long as I can talk into it, thats all I need.

I have a bunch of phones, and so far this one is the best IMO

I paid $150ish in ebay. It looks great, and is very small…

I just picked up the W810i, I like it a lot. Comes with software to transfer files to/from computer and phone, you can sync. with outlook. The screen is super clear, 2.0mp camera, looks good and is pretty small.

I looked at the W810i and the K790 (prefer the K). But they were a little on the larger size.

I thought it was w810i was small, its only 4" x 1.875", but I guess its alittle thicker than some. Anyway, good luck with finding the right phone for you.

I love the N80 personally, you cant beat nokia reliability and RF quality, and integrated wi-fi gets me through those pesky 3 hour masters classes.

But it’s closer to $450-500 vs. the $350 of the D900

**EDIT:** Woops…this is for the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820, not the D900 my bad!

> I had the Samsung one for about a day, and guess what…dust under the screen. Exchanged it for a new one, same thing! Huge amounts of dust under the screen. Exchanged it for the third time and bitched them out for selling such a shitty phone and exhanged it for an SDA.

> The samsung has horrible audio quality when you talk to somebody. The other caller complains that it sounds distorted and not close to clear.  
> It also has horrible signal pickup. Ex: My room upstairs i got about 1 bar with the samsung, with the SDA i get full bars.

> Battery life is the worse ever. It barely lasts one day before showing low battery alert.

> **Conclusion:** STAY AWAY FROM THE SAMSUNG

> I have been happy with the SDA ever since i switched.

> Unless the phone is a different revision or version then go ahead and get it. But if its the same crap that i had, stay away or you will regret it.  
> Even if you have it in a cell phone case, it will get dust under the screen!

## Sorry for the above, made a mistake. The phone i had was the Samsung SGH-T809 and not the D900.

As for the SDA its a smartphone. Here is the link to the review.

I love this phone, its a bit on the bulky side but it has wifi and bluetooth. You can also use it as a modem on your laptop. It has tons of features.. superb battery life. Connects to your computer via usb, has a memory slot for extra memory…

PM me if you have specific questions about it.

The blackjack is larger than the SDA. Or is it just me?

Larger but thinner if i had to guess. Know a few people w/ the BJ… pretty sweet if that’s what you’re looking for. Not really what I’m looking for.
