Samsung SGH-D900 / Black Carbon

It will most likely come out unlocked on Samung.com but will any carriers pick it up? If you know please tell me. And finally how much will it cost? If anyone has a clue respond back. Thanks

these phones are amazing... but why do cellular companies choose to make a phone in just one service type... why not make each model in both gsm and cdma?.. would be great to have this on sprint

I'm using this phone in the US and caller id is different for calls and texts.

For instance, a text will show 18005551234 and a call will show 8005551234. If the 1 is in my phonebook, caller id will show the name for texts but not calls. If there's no 1 in the phonebook, texts will not show the name but calls will.

This is weird. Anyone no how to solve this without putting multiple entries in my phone?

Thanks.

So I've had the phone for about 4 months. Love it! But I had it in my pocket yesterday, like I do every other day. I take it out and slide it up. What do I see? Half the screen is missing!!! So I am I WTF, I close it and open it again, and the screen goes completely dark! The phone is still on and usuable, and the screen you can tell still has power to it, but its blank, black, dead.

So I call up Samsung, and after about 20 minutes they tell me that since it hasn't been released in the US, I have to call UK tech support. I call them up, but I have to have a freaking call card.

Rediculous. I have to go buy a calling card just to get ahold of tech support in the UK to get my phone fixed.

I was wondering if anyone has been able to use this phone with location services that carriers are begining to provide.

Does this phone have voice-activated dialing? If so, is it dependent or independent dialing?

😕

Hi guys,
I hope this is some stupid setting that is causing problems on my D900.
If I use the camera, image is reversed, so the right person is on the left and the left one is on the right!!
If I switch to video, the problem dissapears.
It's all normal.

How can I fix this?

Thank you

does anyone know it this phone has video caller id like the t809? thanks in advance

😕 Anyone know why my phone keeps saying "not allowed" when I try to look at anything involving my microSD card. It used to work, but ever since I tried putting files on it with a memory card reader it stopped. I have restarted the phone in many different fashions and have removed the card many times. I erased the card completely but still I cannot access it. I cannot move files to it or anything. It did this to me when I first was using it, but after several attempts, it finally said "initialising" over and over. I then restarted the phone and it worked. Now, nothing seems to work in an attempt to get SD card rolling... please HELP! Thanks!

I thought my D900 had terrible sound, until I realised the screen protector(film) that came with the phone was over the speaker in the front. I cut the top piece off and now I have much better sound. I spoke to a colleague the other day and realised he also has the D900 and the protector was also over the speaker, when I asked him about the sound he told me it is very soft. I cut his film shorter too and now he is very happy. I know a lot of people take it off as soon as they get the phone but it really helps protecting the screen.

Hi
I got my D900 2 days ago and so far so good.
Battery life will hopefully improved after a couple of charges. Really pity it does not have voice dialing, I got used to it on my SE K700i and it is very useful when driving with a Bluetooth headset.

A problem I have and I hope someone can help me please! I copied my contacts to the phone but if I open contacts then it shows both SIM and Phone together, in other words 2 of each. Is there a setting to show one only (SIM or Phone contacts) All phones I know have this feature.

Thanks in advance

are you able to talk while the slider is "closed"? or does it have to be "open" to talk?

Hi all,

Can someone, please, try to open web page http://www.elmundo.es from his D900? I have tried several times, but it always says, page is too big to be opened. I want to check if this is memory issue, or something else is wrong with my phone. Also, when I close browser, I got message WAP disconnected. The default connection is set to GPRS, so I am not sure why I got this message.

Help.

im still waiting for my 2gb transflash to come in the mail, but i figured id just stick a few songs on the phone to try it out. when im in the pc studio thing it makes me drag my songs into "other files." when i try to play them on the phone it says unsupported file format, what's the problem?

also how can i get them into the music folder so i can make a playlist? thanks in advance!

This phones stylings are so much better than the Chocolate and probably better at everything else.

I seem to be having a problem with my memory card. i have a 1 gig memory card and until now it has worked just fine. Now though it seems to be locked or something. I am unable to access any files stored on the memory card from my phone. Has anyone had a similar problem?
