Bought this phone about 2 weeks ago, it is a great phone. Excellent reception (have not lost a signal yet), a host of features, light, and slim. The bluetooth works well, MP3 player is good as is the built in camera. The user interface is very intuitive, you don't have to read any manuals to get it up and going on the functions. Lots of extras with this phone. I would highly recommend it, especially over the Motorola V3I or the Razr, the 830 is much easier to use, better looking and much slimmer than the Motorola offerings.

I ve got this phone yesterday for my wife and i got it in stylish red color it is the ULTRA edition 9.9,she loved the design the first minute she has seen it .The only issue about the phone is that it has came from France, and the manual is all in French.It took me about 10 minutes to find English in the menu and 15 minutes after that to set up the whole thing.A large and bright diplay allows you to scroll down the easiest menu i've ever seen,it's packed with features i need and i like. Great phone.

if you are really into thin phones.. this is the one for you (thinner than razor) but you'll have to sacrifice functions such as short batt life (approx 36hrs on standby w/ a few calls)and soft speakerphone volume...and for some you have to get used to the keypad.

The phone arrived right on schedule from the supplier. I've always liked Samsung phones because of their simplicity so I decided to buy the D830. This phone comes with a software CD, data cable, charger cable and headset, which I might add is perfectly equalised and gives off a near "surround-sound system" quality for your music.

I received 3 versions of the manaul with the phone in 3 different languages EXCEPT English. Even though the phone is advertised as the 'slimmest' it's still a little on the large side in terms of height and width. The volume of the phone itself (without the earpiece) is low outdoors even when you turn up the volume to the maximum, so if you have trouble hearing, you'll definitely have trouble hearing clearly.

When you miss a call, the caller ID on the front of the phone does not alert you. So you can't see right away that you've missed a call unless you open the phone to check.

Other than those disadvantages, the phone itself is a good showpiece and overall a trendy design.

I just got this phone a few days ago to replace my broken SonyEricsson Z520a. I'm attracted to this Samsung because of the thin form factor and pretty impressive spec.

But the first time I used it, I was totally disappointed. My biggest complaint is the flat keypad. The keypad doesn't give you enough tactile feedback when you press it. And for some reasons some keys are harder to press than the others. This really annoys me since I text message a lot.

Other than the keypad, this is a very nice phone. The screen is high resolution (320 x 240) and very bright. IMHO the user interface is not as intuitive as Sony Ericsson's.

I tried Bluetooth on this phone and was able to transfer my phonebook from my laptop without a hitch.

But for me, the keypad is the killer. That's the reason I rated it 2 stars. This phone is going back to Amazon for sure.
