Samsung D550 - User Reviews

  • Wow what a loss i would have bought this phone right away! Loves it! Oh well..

  • is there an upgrade to this one?

  • Does it support AIM Fully? Can the MP3 Player be minimized?

  • the d307 is not the same phone, its the locked version. it doesnt have a camera or a micro sd slot. its just like the samsung t809 is the locked verison of the d820. that whats i hate about phones from the united states, they always have the locked versions

  • if you have cingular or you live in the US you can get this same phone though without a camera its the samsung d307 but seeing as it was realesd a while ago it has been discuntionued so i guess youll have to wait tikk this comes out in the US for about 400 dollars

  • Ive seen better

  • i like the samsung itz very coll but i am getting another one like a samsung and itz pink and itz just a little bit bettter than that no affence by the way!! X|X

  • It looks nice n i like it. Tke Keyboard looks nice and useful ********************Tinku**********************

  • Who and when was the Samsung D550 reported cancelled?

  • well i makes kinda sense. its a year late and they are bringing out a new phone with blackberry support. still, i would have hoped that they would bring out a new phone with the same form factor, but with updated internals (i dont think this one supported edge among other things).

  • wat?????no it cant be canceled i heard that its been delayed but i dont think samsung wud do such a stupid thing by canceling this fone for msg fans!!!!!

  • D550 is cancelled

  • this is a wonderfull mobil so flat so romantic

  • Samsung D550 looks very promising.With a QWERTY keyboard included is perfect for text messages fans. Next i'd like to make a short list of "+" and "-" : For starters it has a camera very poorly designed.The low quality of the pics is given by the lack of brightness. Second : the keyboard is not lighted.This might create disconfort if you'll try to write a message in the dark. It has no WLAN , no HSCSD , no RADIO , no 3G , no EDGE , no INFRARED and it has been postponed for too long. The good things : The memory card slot seems not needed when you think that the phone has 84 megabytes of built-in memory. The "widescreen" look is still the best feature Samsung has to offer with this phone. The black color suits D550. IMO.

  • I WANT DAMN WIFI INTO THIS!!!! Why cant they do anything got wifi phone with qwerty keyborad... is this too much???

  • when is this comingout. it is jan 2006, and now theyarecoming out with d800's. nokia is much better with release dates.

  • can i add memory card into this?

  • men!!!!! this is one hell of a phone. just dont tell me other brands samsung are the greatest

  • was it not supposed to support blackberry systems? and didnt rim (makers of blackberry) get into some legal trouble recenty? could it be that samsung have put this baby on ice to see what happens with rim until they release?

  • this phone is still not out. the main problem with samsung is with their image; their website is very hard to navigate. and new models take an eternity to come out. like this one is still not out.

  • wow damn this is whot i call a phone

  • no vibration? i dont know what phone your reading about but it clearly lists vibration for this one :P

  • Too bad this phone doesnt have vibration. Crazy samsung! What are you guys thinking of?

  • its a cool phone man

  • yep, that d307 is a totaly diffrent phone. still, it seems to have some of the same ideas tho. and i think that the d550 could have used that dual joint that the d307 looks like its using. and thanks for the zip code. for future refrence, the posters name is located under the post, not above it :P

  • Hey kaporter try 46545 as a us zip code...

  • This is not the 307. The D307 is going to be different then this one as far as the camera is concerned. the 307 is more of a text messaging phone like that LG that Cingular had. Its still kind of a nifty phone though. The D550 is WAY better though.

  • closest i can see is the d307. but then i cant access the shop as i dont know any us zip codes :P

  • OMG!! i thought it didnt have a camera... at least that is what cingular said.. tahts sooo weird.. now i want it lol

  • I think this is now available with Cingular. Check www.cingular.com

  • How many MP's does this phone have? On this site they say 1 on another they say 1.3, can someone find out for me?

  • it is ok

  • ok is this phone cool or wat how many other ways can the screen turn....Pls post more pics...i have to c it....

  • U guys who say that the phone doesnt have vibration must be blind .. Cant u see in the spec it says vibration - YES !

  • i cant believe this phone doesnt have vibration on it. since when has a phone not had vibration? that is crap!

  • Mate, do not you read the sepcification? It says, Vibration Yes. Memory Slot TFlash? Haha. It seems kinda cool. Black always Cool

  • Geez:// This REALLY is ugly:PP I couldnt buy this:P sorry^^ but it is so ugly://

  • no vibration on this phone? what are samsung thinking? get your act together!

  • why isnt there any memory or vibration on this phone!!!! it is rubbish!!!

  • right next to where it says vibration, it says yes, so how did you get the impression that there isn't?

  • This phone locks and sounds good but why dosnt it have vibration? nothing grose but when its on silent how do you know if your getting a call?

  • naeem are you blind?can`t you read?It has 80MB internal memory and a slot for mini sd cards! geeez

  • it's a cool phone but there is not enough memory in it.

  • just be cause samsung created a dual hinged QWERTY keypad phone after motorola did doesnt mean they're copying...try to keep up.

  • With fm radio it will be complete!

  • too bad it doesnt have wireless... =/

  • Two way flipping looks like samsung got this idea from copying the best ever motorola mpx 300.

  • Two way flipping looks like samsung go this idea from copying the best ever motorola mpx 300.

  • Can any D500 user tell me if they know D500 has "calling card" feature where allow you say to put "1800 number" and your "calling card pin", just like my old sonyericsson T610 has that feature. So if you want to charge your call directly to your calling card, you can just use that feature and it will send out your calling card pin as tones once the call is connected....

  • Good features, but overall package is unusual. Q-board seems busy and could be fussy to use. Samsung used to favor IR over bluetooth, now it's the other way around. Rather flimsy construction. Not the Nokia beater I expected

  • Let's hope that all the features are actually working... such as infra red, bluetooth etc... in practice they are not usable on previous samsung phones. all samsung phones are colorful, loud, shiny... for the people who like them that way.

  • What Operating sys is is using?? please be Palm* or MyShaft Pocket PC.. just somthing that has LARGE consumer support already please!!!!???

  • i'm getting confused with all the phone's around today to many but this phone seems up to date good work samsung maybe look ugly but still feature rich

  • welllllll i want to buy this phone its good im already using samsung pink i wanted to chek this mobile to waiting to come to india ill be the first person to buy this handset

  • nice design.... why nokia didnt tought about it ?!!??!

  • Sorry folks, but this phone is ugly!!!

  • very impressive very smart design i'd like to see it in real time

  • I think that is great , llok is fine and cool and with full keyboard and lookt at the way its screen rotate . Features are good but i think it must come with Microsoft Operating Software 5.0 but its good from Korean Jiant

  • Look carefully at the picture, the hinge is not like MPX, this is double motion: Open phone, THEN rotate along top left corner of keyboard.

  • The phone cannot be compared with the MPX. The MPX was a smart phone this is not. However I hope that the keypaid is easy to use. It is after a long time that Samsung has gone out of the box, from the usually boring clamshells.

  • Very few cell phone has black colour. it's a "black beauty" and specification shows it's a good fone. Muhammad Ilyas

  • when will this phone come out ? in asia, indonesia or singapore... thnks

  • To Jeffrey, Good point, but as far as we know Sams makes perfect quality bodies, so I think it’ll be sufficiently strong formfactor.

  • I didn`t like Samsung phones until now but this phone changed my opinion.Samsung D550 it`s a very good phone and has a beautiful and cool design.Good work Samsung.

  • To Rafe, The twisted part is not the screen, but the link part between the screen and the body. I doubt how strong the twist can be, it may become seperated in a month or so.

  • verry nice does have operation sistem on this fone?

  • Eww this looks like an attempt to capitalize on the Motorola MPX, aside from the memory (which was expandable with the mpx) this is not much better, and looks grotsky compared to the Motorola. I do wonder though how Samsung's reception compares with Motorola.

  • i am confused the way it is folded, it doesnt really make sense on the extra pics given here.

  • Wow, unsual design from Samsung. IMO now they have gone worse than Nokia :)

  • Nice Phone with Qwerty Keyboard this phone will be a legend

  • er weird but should be kewl

  • it uses blackberry or has summat blackberry OS but weird- and probably huge NOKIAS 93 range is legendary - and i feel not under threat.... yet only p910 has ever outshined

  • HAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH! how wierd looking is this fone??? but nice cause its different! i aint want it. its too wierd...

  • oh~~~~my~~~~god~~~~ this phone.....i can't wait..it's very BEST
