Coming from those awful, chunky Sony Ericsson flip phones, I was very excited to be getting this sleek, very cool looking slider phone! I was the one who refused to listen to reviews on the phone just because I wanted it so badly. That's was a pretty big and costly mistake. I can not stand this phone now.. <br /><br />The speaker absolutely SUCKS, if you are planning on ever making phone calls, the only place you would be able to hear would probably be a dark, extremely quiet room. And that's only if you have service, because let me tell you, I don't even have service OUTSIDE! If you're a big texter, I hope you send it to the right person, because if you find out when it's sending that you messed up, you better just forget about it because that 'cancel' button to the right is just for show. You can repeatedly click and click, but it won't work. Calls drop OFTEN and when you try to press the 'end' button, it sometimes (for me, alot of times) doesn't work. I don't like how I can't personalize my text message tones, but it's not that big of a deal. But in conclusion, it's not a good phone, so just don't do it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=29844#review29844 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=29844#review29844 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:26:15 GMT <p><i>Kgen submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone as a replacement for my old one, which was a sidekick. Despite the chick looks, colorful features, this phone was a piece of junk. I was able to hear fine at first, but as I started using it, I had to keep asking "Can you hear me now?" also, I have a tendency to talk to people for long periods of time, and this phone literally drops my call about 20 times within the conversation. Also, the reception for this phone is horrible, I always seem to have one bar, even though I live right next to At&amp;t. The battery life is pretty much nothing. My old phones had lasted about 3 days before the battery ran out, while this one was about a day before it needed to be charged again.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=29074#review29074 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=29074#review29074 Sat, 24 May 2008 20:27:38 GMT <p><i>TedOrkchu2121 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I really like this phone I have had it for about a year and 5 months.

For me, it really *looks* cool. The voice dialing works great and the camera is decent. Reception with AT&amp;T in Connecticut is terrific (very few dropped calls). I depended on the wake up alarm on many business trips. A 1 Gig microSD card (upgrade, the phone did not come with this) let me carry all the music / pictures / video I could want.<br /><br />I was disappointed with the low speaker and ear piece volume. In a car, I would have to turn on the speaker phone, adjust the volume all the way up and hold it to my ear to hear. The lack of support for high bit rate mp3's was also a bit annoying. Proprietary headphone jack is just a shameless way for the manufacturer to make a few extra bucks. <br /><br />The phone lasted about a year and a half before I got the "White Screen of Death". When this happened the phone was still usable to make and receive calls, but the display was totally worthless. I treat my phones fairly well and was surprised to find the internal display ribbon chewed up (Yeah, I took it apart to see what went wrong). <br /><br />When will A&amp;TT, et all figure out we want wifi (with out a data plan), bluethooth, high call quality, a decent camera and non-proprietary extras like headphone jacks? No need to answer that, I think we all know the answer.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=28895#review28895 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=28895#review28895 Tue, 13 May 2008 00:47:16 GMT <p><i>phonguru submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Great phone, love the slide action, very durable (I am VERY hard on Phones, I have used a nokia 3595 as a temporary hockey puck at a church function. beaten up but still worked).<br /><br />PROS: durability, amazing battery life,good camera, great signal reception, user friendly UI, good loud sound quality, aggresive vibration when ringing, hot swapable microSD card slot, love the exchange of media via bluetooth (gives you access to other phones with the ability of downloading any media ie pics, tones, vids, etc)<br /><br />CONS: a lil heavy, music player sucks, no memory card included, would not open very long SMS,<br /><br />Testimonial: I once fell into a lake with this phone in my pocket.

Little did I know less than a year later my Samsung stopped working. It was exactly 11 months. let me tell you I took VERY good care of this phone. I maybe dropped it 3 times in the year that I had it. One day I picked it up to use it and found it frozen on the title screen which shows the type of phone it is. This really suprised me since I have always had Samsung phones and been satisfied with them. <br />Here are the pros and cons of this phone:<br /><br />Pros:<br />I usually had great service although I dont know if I should contribute that to the phone or to Rogers. <br />It comes with the software so that you can hook the phone up to your computer and upload photos and songs very easily. <br />It is a nice looking phone<br />Never turned on on its own in my purse or pocket unlike other phones I have had in the past.<br /><br />Cons:<br />The screen stays lit up when you are charging it. I hated this because I always charged it at night.<br />Sometimes it would freeze and you have to take the battery out to restart it.<br />To add pictures or special ringtones to certain callers is VERY confusing and near impossible to figure out.<br />The clock that is on the Idle display is so big that it covers most of any type of background you may have on your screen.<br />The phone doesnt hold very many songs unless you buy a MicroSD card which is like an additional $100 at walmart.<br /><br />Honestly after having this phone for about a year I was pretty sick of it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=28335#review28335 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=28335#review28335 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 15:47:30 GMT <p><i>kebomachy submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>style: very good looking phone<br />reception: it is like a dollar store phone... you get bars but your calls are constantly dropped</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=27659#review27659 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=27659#review27659 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 01:09:13 GMT <p><i>pn0yvstyle submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got this phone as an upgrade from my old Motorola V400 and I was impressed when I got it. It had neat features and it was definitely a reliable and stylish phone. I had this phone for almost 2 years and so far it has been good to me but there are some drawbacks from me giving this phone a perfect score. So here are the pros and cons:<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Stylish<br />-decent size memory storage<br />-decent battery life<br />-easy access to menu and other stuff<br />-loud speaker<br />-good sized phone for travel<br />-easy slider<br /><br />Cons:<br />-phone's reception unstable <br />-phone freezes from time to time<br />-navigation buttons are a bit small<br />-non-customizable text msgs tones<br />-only one input for both battery charger and headset <br /><br />Like mentioned in the cons, the phone freezes from time to time. Just recently, it froze and erased all my numbers! The reception on the phone is bouncy and its not the area I'm in or the service (compared to my girlfriend's phone). There are other minor stuff to but other than that, the phone has been good to me. I am looking at to replace this phone soon. If you are looking for a good Samsung phone, this would be one to consider.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=27285#review27285 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=27285#review27285 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 03:28:13 GMT <p><i>collins.p submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My college age daughter loves the phone, but wore it our in 5 months ----- the display part of the slider is connected to the circuit board/battery half with a flat ribbon cable --- with heavy use the cable chafes --- the insulation wears out, and the cable shorts out.

I use my phone ALOT. I'm talking a little over 5000 minutes on a easy billing cycle. I normally have close to 10000 minutes a month though. I talk to my g/f for hours at a time! I get 6 or 7 hours out of this battery for sure, and it might even be longer but I know for sure its 6 or 7 hours. I've had the phone over a year now. this is my 3rd phone...the first one I leaned on it with it in my pocket and broke the screen. the 2nd was a refurbished phone to replaced the one I broke the screen on. That phone did what one of the reviewers talked about where the screen went white. So that is why I have had 3 of these phones. placed phone. I have always liked flip phones and this was my first slide phone and I think it was a great phone. I'm looking at new phones now only cause I'm eligible for an upgrade. The only thing you need to watch for on this phone is the large screen. It can be broken (like any screen) if you press or lean something against it.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=26161#review26161 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=26161#review26161 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:37:44 GMT <p><i>xxbananacrunch submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i got the phone about a year ago, and it's still working like it's brand new. it was easy to figure out, the graphics are great, and has great sound. the signal is a bit below average, but still works and is able to roam. the bluetooth option is incredibly simple and works very well. the battery life is also average, but not bad. overall, i would suggest it for anyone that wants a phone to do things with.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=26094#review26094 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=26094#review26094 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:28:36 GMT <p><i>V Inc. submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>So i bought this phone when it was fairly new on the now defunct Cingular. Now it doesn't work anymore! Making a list of PROS and CONS won't be necessary. Let me just give a warning about what MIGHT happen to your phone:<br /><br />The vibration will stop working. I use it when I'm at church or a movie theater which means it's on vibrate at least once a week. I don't think i'm overusing it.<br /><br />The screen will start to disappear. When I slide it up/down, it took a few sec for the screen to appear. Eventually the screen turned pure white. I've googled this problem. Apparently, the ribbon tape which makes the phone slide becomes worn out thus causing the display to malfunction. You can buy the ribbon tape to fix it yourself which I planned not to do. It's cheaper than getting it repaired (after 1 year, Cingular/AT&amp;T/POS cannot help you. They direct you to Samsung to have it fixed. $$$) BUT it's also risky.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=25996#review25996 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=25996#review25996 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 01:37:50 GMT <p><i>jomp589 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Phone has lasted me just over a year now, going on 1.5 years.

I like the slider design however every once in a while I will accidentally close it on a live call. As a phone it is just ok, not great, I miss my V551 Motorola in that respect. However with all the features it is nice to have. The USB requires a special connector. One thing I do like is the NiCe LCD screen. but as a phone I think you could find better. Text messaging is a pain since the buttons are lumped together.<br />BOTTOM LINE:<br />If you are looking for a good phone look elsewhere. If you are looking for an OK phone with good features, then this is your phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=24544#review24544 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=890&r=24544#review24544 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 04:51:56 GMT <p><i>sld0504 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-D807 / D806:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I always use phonescoop to check out all the info and reviews when looking for a new cell. It is hard deciding when you don't know from experience and your putting money into something you hope is great. Well I got the samsung d807 almost a month ago and i have had no problems what so ever. I wanted to write a review just for the skeptics that have read some of the negatives that are pretty important. One con was that the reception was bad. I have had other cells with bad reception like the sony Ericsson t226 and my boyfriend has had tons of motorola with bad reception. I think it just depends on your area cause i have had no problems at home, on the road, or at the office. My texts and calls go through just fine. Today i did have a problem sending a text while at the office but after a couple tries it was fine. Another con i read about was the screen cracking. Again, i think sometimes there are a few bad lemons out their cause i have already accidentally dropped my phone like 2-3 times and it hasn't gotten one crack. I dropped it on the hard wood floor so i don't know if that makes any difference. The phone does show fingerprints easily but its nothing that doesn't come off with the wipe of your t-shirt. Another con i read was the battery was awful. I once again have had no issues with the battery at all. I have pushed it as far as three days with out a charge but haven't try any longer yet. A pro- the screen is huge and so bright and colorful. I had the lg c225 sent to me when i broke my lg c2000 and samsung d807 is a million times better, but then again my lg phones were both very simple. The slider is tricky with one hand i will agree with that but if you use your thumb and grip it right then its all good. You do have to go through several menus to get to things that would normally be easily accessed but all you have to do is customize the buttons to what you want. I have not tried to download the mp3 and stuff yet but hope to soon. I thing the d807 is great!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=890
