First, the text message memory only held about 30 messages so I felt like i was deleting all of my messages at least 5 times a day probably more. Then, i didn't like the fact that every time i closed the phone, the lock was activated and i have to press the left side button, then OK. to be able to use the buttons on the front without opening the phone. I tried for so long to get that feature deactivated, but couldn't figure it out. Next, the battery life was terrible, could not hold a charge to save my life!! I had it for a while, but after about 6-7 months i was ready for a change!<br /><br />Pros:<br />Great vivid colorful screen<br />Great picture frames<br />Good Reception<br /><br />Cons:<br />Poor battery life<br /><br />Keyguard that won't seem to deactivate<br /><br />Video records smaller than actual screen size<br /><br />Small text message memory</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=22968#review22968 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=22968#review22968 Tue, 15 May 2007 01:29:38 GMT <p><i>esmediaz2 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone has been by far the best phone I've ever owned. I looked at the reviews before I bought my first one about 1 year ago. And I saw the negative reviews but I took a chance on it and the phone is awesome. I'm even buying another one because I accidently broke my first one :-( <br /><br />I was going to buy another make and model but I couldn't find anything that compared to my samsung t809. It takes the best pictures, I just love it. <br /><br />Another plus is that I am hard of hearing and this phone is so loud that you have to always be turning the volume down when you speak with someone. <br /><br />It's a great phone. I can't wait to get my new one</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=20177#review20177 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=20177#review20177 Wed, 29 Nov 2006 04:02:13 GMT <p><i>anelroa submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>love this I telephone by almost 8 months, its design was unico, very fine perfect for the pocket of my trousers, screen LCD was impressive, very shining, for that reason master the telefonos of samsung as much by its designs and funsiones that many companies would not ofresen to me.<br /><br />single tube a single problem with this I telephone that it was the life of bateria, was too short, tapeworm that to load it to the day twice, never habia happened to me with other telefonos. and had many telefonos of samsung like a920, a680, a500, e600, e105 and other but that I do not decide to me. <br />pros: <br />great revolving screen <br />camara of 1,3 megapixel good fine design to <br />speaker phone <br />mp3 micro sd <br /><br />cons: <br /><br />life of bateria very bad nonflash but I recommend it but for its life of bateria so bad, but if you have shipper of car I believe that you are not going to have ningun problem.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19748#review19748 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19748#review19748 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 23:40:39 GMT <p><i>friendly_cell submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had my D820 for about 4 month and i like the phone very much.

I will only mention the strongest CONS here because the pros are too many and people repeat them endlessly.<br /><br />Bad thing number one: If you wanted to sync with MICROSOFT OUTLOOK, i.e. your CALENDAR and your CONTACTS, then that is a big question. Phonescoop is incorrect when they say "YES" for that feature on their specs. The Samsung software that ships with the phone actually has the Outlook sync NOT function for this particular model. that was a bummer. HOWEVER, if it is important to you, then buy the third party phone syncing software called Datapilot. They say that they can do it. HOWEVER, NOTE: (a) if you are going to sync using bluetooth, BUY THEIR BLUETOOTH ADAPTER FOR YOUR COMPUTER. because their sync does not work with the default microsoft bluetooth, it wants WidComm or whatever that other fuller bluetooth system is. So buy Datapilot's bluetooth adapter unless you are certain that your bluetooth is widcomm (very much doubt that.) (b) if for some reason you're not thinking to sync using bluetooth but instead want to use a cable, BUY Datapilot's USB cable. their software doesn't work with the default samsung usb cable. they have some funky proprietary kind.<br /><br />Bad thing number two: no voice dialing for those of us that really make use of a hands-free earpiece. Oh well! no huge deal.<br /><br />I really am considering flashing the software into the d820, as described elsewhere on this forum and also around the posts on this site:<br />http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=890496&amp;page=17&amp;pp=15</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19609#review19609 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19609#review19609 Wed, 01 Nov 2006 01:23:20 GMT <p><i>pashomina submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>When I first got this phone back in March, I was so happy with it. I loved how it slides and I think it looks really nice. Not cheap at all. But I started having problems with it after about six months. Sometimes when someone called me, it wouldn't let me answer it OR deny it. It just kept ringing. Also, sometimes when I end a call, it freezes and I have to take the battery out then put it back in because I can't do anything with it.<br /><br />I sent it in to T-Mobile and they sent me another one (I had to pay the shipping, even though it wasn't my fault that the phone was being stupid) but this new one does the same things, only not as bad. I'm thinking that the model of phone is maybe a lemon. I'm just getting really frustrated so I bought a T509 off of e-bay so I can switch in and out. <br /><br />Aside from these problems, I love the phone!<br /><br />PROS:<br />Convenient slider<br />Awesome camera<br />MP3 player<br />T-Mobile is a great carrier<br />Nice large menu icons<br /><br />CONS:<br />Freezes after calls and sometimes from- incoming calls<br />Short battery life<br />Low texting memory</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19427#review19427 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19427#review19427 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 14:49:51 GMT <p><i>BiGg RiE submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok i've had this phone for almost a year and was seriously considering a new one until I flashed this phone to the D820 firmware about 2 months ago. Litterally everything I didn't like about the T809 is fixed by doing this:<br />~Acsending ringer = fixed<br />~Vibe &amp; Ring together = fixed<br />~Lack of email client = fixed<br />~install of non-signed java apps = fixed<br />~Mp3 ringtones without renaming = fixed<br />~Unlock phone for use with any GSM carrier = fixed<br />~Can't turn off camera shutter sound = Fixed<br />~Asign different soft keys functions = fixed<br />and much more.<br /><br />the only reason I gave this phone a 4.5 instead of a 5 is because of the lack of voice dailing on a phone that has a voice recorder, this doesn't make sense. and the battery life just plain sucks I'm luck if i get through one day of use without a recharge.<br /><br />Oh, and i think the guys at phone scoop should do a seperate review for the D820 firmware because it is truely a completely different phone. Or at least note in the specs analasist the differences between the two firmwares. To simply put it in the title isn't enough. The D820 firmware truly shows how this phone was ment to be used.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19346#review19346 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=19346#review19346 Sun, 15 Oct 2006 00:07:30 GMT <p><i>Tonylegend01 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The t809 is the phone of my dreams. I have had the phone since it came out and, I have "upgraded" it twice and still, I come back to my t809. It has a crystal clear LCD screen and, the camera is amamzing. The sound quality is excellent. I can hear my phone ringing while walking in downtown San Francisco during rush hour. It is very user friendly and, take a good beating to. Plus, this phone looks downright down dope with the sleek black finsh. The drawsback is battery life, I have to carry around my charger everwhere.

The reception is good, even when there is one bar on my phone, I can still hear the other person on the line just fine.<br /><br />The 3 most annoying features about this phone are that the battery life is pretty short, it is difficult to slide open without putting your fingers all over the screen, and that it freezes/lags sometimes. <br /><br />I got this phone through T-Mobile for a pretty good deal so although it's not perfect, I can't say that I feel jipped.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=18696#review18696 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=18696#review18696 Sat, 09 Sep 2006 17:04:21 GMT <p><i>txnplayboy22 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is the BEST phone on the market for Tmobile, I work in the wireless industry and the T809 is a great phone, I love my phone.

I can have 0 bars, but still make a perfectly clear call<br />For some reason, my phone never breaks out....it will either not be able to make a call....or make crystal clear calls.

Not a big deal either, just expect it<br />Doesn't come with norm headphoen jack, but comes with nice headphones you can use with it, can also double as hands-free device<br /><br /><br />Overall, I have to say this is an awesome phone!! Defently worth the 150$ i droped on it....i also got a 1gb memory card...put a bunch of songs/music videos, and it tizzight!<br /><br />(all u do, when watching a video, is press one, and it turns from a thumbnail, to a full screen vid, its amazing)<br /><br />I was thinking about buying an extra batery, and putting a video or two, or 3 on the phone and watching it on an airplane ride....that would rock</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17927#review17927 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17927#review17927 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 18:11:25 GMT <p><i>Ilyayef submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had this phone for 3 months now and I can tuly say it is the best phone out there.<br />I have owned the w600i very displeased with that one.<br /><br />Pros:<br />MicroSD memory card reader I put a 1GB card in there for my music and video clip.<br /><br />Camara is great for a phone anyway.<br /><br />Text are easy the words sort themselvs out when you type so no need to search for the letters easy to text.<br /><br />Has an instant messanger program witch does help..<br /><br />The size is great and I lke the flip up effect.<br /><br />Con:<br />Battery life isint to great but amoong the samsung series I would say this one has the longest battery life..<br /><br />Its rumored to break easily but I have droped it pleanty of times and no problems yet...<br /><br />Hope this helps..</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17887#review17887 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17887#review17887 Mon, 24 Jul 2006 05:58:36 GMT <p><i>anton_meza submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>If you are reading this and your getting ready to buy this phone but aren't sure because of all the bad reviews people give it. don't listen to them most of it is ridiculous about bluetooth and what not the phone is awesome it has great features and the thing with the battery life, just make sure that you don't play with the phone right away let it charge completely and hey just in case buy a car charger.

The whole "slider" idea scares me, and there is no real place to slide the phone up without getting fingerprints all over the screen. The Mp3 player caused me a major headache, first when I tried to load the software it said that it was not compatible with Windows XP, so I called T-Mobile and of course they put me on hold numerous times, then FINALLY after dealing with rude workers, I was transferred to the Samsung customer care, and they were closed! The T-Mobile representative who sent me there knew they were closed, yet she sent me there anyway. I figured out on my own that you have to download the XP software off of the Samsung website, but the whole "mp3 ringtone" was getting wayyyyyy to complicated. I only bought this phone becuase it included the memory card and the USB cable unlike the t609 which I had last week, but Im going to give up on the mp3 phones and purchase the Samsung t309. T-Mobile is realllllly starting to get on my nerves, but Im locked into the contract so I guess I have to deal.<br /><br />-----Pros------<br /><br />Bright Screen<br />Nice Camera<br />Slim<br /><br />-----Cons------<br /><br />Slider<br />Buttons too small (and I have small hands)<br />Creeks when opened after only a day<br />Have to Unlock it to do anything<br />Feels Fragile including the camera<br /><br />I didnt get a chance to experience the dust problem like everybody else, but I can see where it could leak into the screen.....</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17630#review17630 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17630#review17630 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 20:09:28 GMT <p><i>Girlie2009 submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I am very pleased with this phone. I believe I just got it last week and I have had no problems whatsoever. T-Mobile was very pleasant and everything went smoothly with the purchase. As for the phone I am also very pleased. As a 15 year old, the phone satisfies all my needs and more with ease. The infamous dust problem has not effected the phone in any way and I am VERY relieved. Although I have not had this phone very long, I am pretty sure I will be just fine with it.<br /><br />Pros<br />-Sleek Appearance<br />-Easy Spring-Up Slide<br />-Nice Camera<br />-SO MANY OPTIONS, ringtones, backgrounds, layouts. I was overwhelmend with how many I had to choose from<br />-Good Sound<br />-Interesting Looking Games<br />-I am a newbie to T9 but this phone helped me master it in minutes.<br />-Phonebook is Nice<br />-Small<br />-Easy to use<br />-Nice Camera effects, mosiac, image editor<br />-Voice Notes<br />-MP3's can be used as ringers<br />-T-Mobile is very customer friendly.<br />Cons<br />-I don't like how the camera zooms out on things, like you could be very close to something, but when the picture is complete it is way farther back then how close you took it from.<br />-Charge holds a lot less longer than the Nokia I used to have but nothing to fret about.<br />-Finger print prone screen</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17611#review17611 https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=813&r=17611#review17611 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 03:58:15 GMT <p><i>hand_of_glue submitted this review of the Samsung SGH-T809 / SGH-D820:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>hey everyone who is thinking of buying the t8809 not d820 than this is the review to read.<br /><br />1. as i know you have read people have said to set a mp3 at ringtone you have to change the format well no they are totally wrong. i just put the mp3 file on my phone went to mp3 on phone and click settings the click set as and you will see ringtone click it and there you go . i just wanted to help everyone out wit that everyone thinks you have to do format change heck no its simple as 1..2.3 or mp3 ha ha ha ha <br /><br />here are some pros and cons.<br /><br />pros:<br />1.beautiful 262k color screen<br />2.great 1.3 pixel camera<br />3. average video<br />4. reception is good at best. i get better reception on this phone in the mall than my previous nokia 6101,6103,8800 and motorola razr(silver-t-mobile)<br />5. great slide design i get best results when push up from right side of screen<br />6.great kekpad for texting<br /><br />cons:<br />1. not very custumizable as far as shortcuts or what not<br /><br />2. slider gets flimsy after about 2.5 months<br /><br />3. battery life is ok not as bad as people percieve it to be 3.5 hours isnt that bad but its pretty long if i use bluetooth and camera and mp3 and so on so forth everyday ill hav to charge it maybe every 3 days which is good because phones with 6 hour battery life i charge about the same sk its no different for me<br /><br />4.thats all i can really say is bad i would recommend this phone and if you want a similar phone actually the same feautures all around you can also try the samsung t609 which is samsung but it is a flip not slider but sliders pretty cool i think chicks dig it if you need more info email me at hand_of_glue@yahoo.com hope to hear from you but i think i did enough info in this review</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=813
