I have had this phone for a year almost. I absoluetly love the design. But scratches are very easy to get on, the paint on top of phone scrape off after a couple of months use, not enough memory at all, should have a memory card inserted at all times, sliding function of the phone is not very strong the slider keeps wobbling, the arrow buttons are very dodgy, not all the arrow buttons are smooth working.
The communication areas of the phone is superb, no problems so far with recieving and sending txt messages, multimedia message or calls.
Overall, it really comes down to what your purpose with the phone is. It maybe for a business use, which i dnt recommend this for, or maybe for an everyday use, or it could be used very rarely.
I personally recommend to buy this phone, if its not going to be used every day and for an everyday use. Because the life of this phone won't last long with that kind of use. I recommend this phone for people who rarely uses it or is prepared to take intensive care for the phone.

> In reply to secret-keeper @ 2009-11-13 07:55 from PBHM - click to read@ secrect-keeper your 5, 8, and 15 is wrong.
5 all cgaracters is available, just hold # and all characters is there
8 Speaker phone. when you use speaker phone swopping between speaker phone on and off is as easy as pressing the centre (ok/i) button.
15 Memory card. As soon as i plug my phone into my pc the mem card show immediatly and i can copy, edit all info and files on my mem card. Make sure you sellect mass storage otherwise your card won't show. Go into settings, phone settings, usb settings then sellect mass storage.

I have this phone for a year and I am satisfied with it. It is almost the ideal phone (see features).
Drawbacks:
1. organizer is a bit stupid. I don't understand why is there need for it to know, when do I finish a task.
2. camera has good resolution but sensor reacts a bit like entry level. Slow focusing.
3. couldn't manage to set a hotkey for flash
4. battery was moving (phone fainted away because of this), so I put some paper to decrease space :D
Besides drawbacks I don't regret that I bought this baby.

I've been using this phone(D900i) for over an year now and only curse the day I purchased this blasted phone for 9.5k. I mean I feel even my 4.8k Nokia 3110 was much better than it.
I'll present to you the actual description of its features:
1.Camera - Average, 3 Mp good but the delay(2-3 sec) it takes to save,poor(nearly no) flash counter it.
2.Music player - pretty good.
3.FM radio - good. Though auto station detect isn't much reliable.I manually found out 11 stations(in Blr) while it detected only 4.
4.Ringtones,Voice memo recorder,speakerphone - Avg
5.Messages - Average, though the range of characters it allows you to type is limited to alphanumerics and a few symbols(heck I hate it when I can't use quotes("),apostrophe(') or star(*) symbol).
Though messaging provides many good options.
6.Phonebook and mobile tracker - good.
7.Java games - Good. Though hardly any chance for installing a new game(4 MB constraint), also there are too many compatibility issues.
8.Calls-Huge lists for keeping record.But don't use speaker mode in a call, as they forgot to put option of switching back to normal mode.
9.Phone mode-pretty good, but 'no profiles' annoys me.
10.Browser(WAP 2.0)-it's like the worst browser there could be.. slow,unable to load big(>~200KB) pages, and not so good for viewing pages either.
11.Personal organiser functions - good.
12.Alarm-3 alarms-wake up(has snooze option), 2 additional alarms. Prettty good.
13.Document viewer for MS Office, PDF and HTML files - It's only a myth!!! None of those features is there.
14.Size,design,look,display - Pretty impressive, though display visibility is highly vulnerable to sunlight.
15.MicroSD card slot - It's handled like a uncopyable readonly memory, can't copy, edit, delete any file on it... on connecting to pc. memory card doesn't even show up.
16.MOST IMPORTANT - Battery - Max. on time - 3 days(if no call, music, radio etc.), 1.5-2 days(on 1 hour voice call) and you can do the math..
Conclusion: With every good on this phone, there are way more bads attached.. e.g. so many multimedia options but alas meagre battery renders them all useless..also good radio but can't be used without earphones and so, can't allow phone to be charge at the same time.
For any queries, post a comment here and I'll answer them.
Thanks.
