New Toys: Part V – Samsung D900
Posted: April 2nd, 2007I mentioned the D900 before. I finally got one. It’s everything I expected and more… except for one little detail – some frikin retard at Samsung decided it was OK or even a good idea to cripple the phone by not allowing people to use their own message tone (instead you can only choose from one of the 10 that come with the phone and suck). Sigh I wanted to use an excerpt of Senator Ted Stevens “Series of Tubes“* speech as a message tone…
Anyway I’m extremely happy with this new toy – finally a phone I actually like and don’t find anoying (i.e. crippled by Nokia Crap OS TM and the brick-fetishism of their design team).
Seriously this phone pwns! Samsung has a clear technological (both in software and hardware) and design lead over it’s competitors in the cellphone market (at least Nokia, Motorolla and anything lame enough to use Windows – it’s bad on the desktop but it’s a lot worse on a phone).
And since today I feel like giving things “scores”, I give the Samsung D900 a 9.9/10 – not a 10/10 because of that retarded message tone thing I mentioned earlier.
*the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention another annoyingly stupid “feature” of the D900 – Samsung decided to include proprietary headphones – crappy, uncomfortable ones at that – instead of simply including an adapter. Fortunately there are adapters. I wonder if I can find them here in Portugal.
