Samsung SGH SGH-D900 Cell Phone

Many of my friends go through phones like they go through underwear, either they get tired of them and something better comes out on the market, they drop them or the phone breaks on it's own! But fortunately, I have had my Samsung SGH-D900 for two years now and it still looks and operates as if brand new. Now when I bought it 2 years ago it cost me almost $300. But now they're selling brand new for under $200 and refurbished ones are selling for under $150 on ebay. Now this is a GSM phone that is compatible with most carriers but can't be bought with a plan to get it cheaper but so far I haven't needed or wanted a new phone, so it might be a good investment.

Conclusion:

This phone is very sleek, only .5" thick. It has a glassy looking display that doesn't scratch, In the beginning I was very careful not to touch the screen but as time went by I was putting it in my pocket, purse and putting my fingers all over it and after 2 years of use, this phone has NO scratches. This phone is also very dependable because despite it's this physique, I have accidentally dropped it numerous of times on concrete, tile and carpet and it is still like brand new! Reviews say that one fault this phone is, is it's flat key pad, but I can text fine without looking at the keys, so it's doesn't matter much to me, but it could be a problem for others. Reviews also say that it's best feature is it's camera and it's camera is great (3.0 mp) and it has a great video camera also.

Should you buy this phone?

This phone is sleek, long lasting, has basic features and an exceptional camera and video camera, BUT this phone is pretty small compared to the blackberrys and new touch screen phones on the market, so if that's more your style or if you need a phone for the Internet, email, business or video games, this isn't the phone for you.
