This technical Samsung D806 review is based on a computer analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is not a hands-on review. It looks at its good and not-as-good features so you can make an informed decision.
The Good:
- Weight: The Samsung D806 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
- Technology: The Samsung D806 works with global GSM frequencies , a convenient feature if you travel overseas frequently. (Roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)
- Talk Time: 220 minutes of talking time. It is above average! (score: 16/20)
- Phone Book: It can store up to 1000 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
- Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which will prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
- Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)
The Not-So-Good:
- Stand-by Time: 120 hours of stand-by time. I've seen better. (score: 8/20)
