Samsung D900 opinions please

[Guest dave_rudabar]

Now I know it's not really a smartphone, but I took a D900 as an insurance replacement for my C600-which I'd got bored with!

My original plan was to sell it to the highest bidder as it's worth about £140 on ebay. And I was going to move away from Orange soon anyway...

But, it's actually quite a nice phone having had a quick play around with it and as there aren't any decent C600 non-qwerty replacements around at the moment, i'm not sure whether it's financially best to keep it and go PAYG, or get something new on contract with O2 or T-Mobile.

Does anyone have any info on what a D900 is like to live with long-term?

Any idea how well it will sync to my PC for contacts & calendar, etc.? Obviously I don't want to do this as i don't want to use the phone anymore unless i'm going to keep it.

I'd have got an O2 Graphite by now if it was available, my main driver is not having to pay out more if the Samsung will work as well as the C600 did...

Any thoughts & suggestions would be much appreciated.

I stopped using mine after a couple of weeks.

It is a neat phone, and I was constantly fiddling with the slider, but at the end of the day I wanted more funtionality (especially Exchnage sync, which I knew it didn't do) and a better menu system (almost as bad as a Motorola IMO)

Sync'ing with cable with Outlook was fine on the 2-3 times I tried it, but you have to install the software. Depending on what you read it can/can't do SyncML, but I never worked out how to do it (never tried very hard to be honest)

As the price of them new on PAYG and Contract is so loooow now I'd suggest keeping it.
