Designed for professionals and the style-conscious, it fits function with "must-have" features such as a music player and camera into one of the slimmest form-factors on the market.
Weighing in at 93g, the SGH-Di has been designed for single-handed use, with its sliding front-panel revealing a spacious keypad with a flick of the thumb. Like a Fashion Week catwalk model, the Samsung SGH-Di garners most of its appeal from being super-skinny, shiny, and appearing to have not much on.
Having most of the keys hidden away under its thin, sliding face is a definite aesthetic boon; given that the menu and contacts can be navigated without sliding the phone open, the Samsung SGH-Di can be appreciated at its smallest the majority of the time.
However, the Samsung's sleek lines and mirror-finish have a fatal flaw -- while looking gorgeous in the box, it only takes a few uses to develop a scratch or two and a grubby layer of smudges. Another line-in-the-sand is the Samsung SGH-Di's interface -- while the menu navigation may be comfortingly familiar to prior Samsung and Sony Ericsson users, it's the call screens that bite our noodle.
As soon as you start entering a phone number, it displays an animation of a pen writing it on a pad ye olde way - is it nifty, or just plain kitsch? A similar effect is garnered when you enter numbers during a call. We love the cheery sentiment of Rainbow Brite-esque coloured numbers, but it's a positive that could be better expressed elsewhere.
Ditto for the keypad tones -- the moment you work out how to turn them off and it isn't entirely obvious , you will never choose to turn them on again. There are oodles of ways you can get more creative with your photos, beyond changing more conventional shooting options such as ISO and white balance. Included are effects such as sepia and black-and-white, plus the sort of frames that would be at home in a Japanese sticker-photo machine.
The camera and video include 4x digital zoom and auto-focus. All of which are best enjoyed when using the provided Samsung headphones, unless you're one of those types that mercilessly belts tunes on the train, to the chagrin of everyone else. The Image Editor is another rather whimsical application, which lets you change basic settings such as brightness and contrast in your pictures, as well as built-in add frames, clip art and emoticons.
Be warned that this little app adds artefacts as it heavily compresses your photos. As this is not a 3G phone, data transfer speeds are ho-hum, so save your high-speed Web aspirations for your PC. The Samsung includes about 67MB of in-built memory, which is enough for an album, or around photos. Performance Despite what's been said about the cute-as-cupcakes interface, making calls with the Samsung SGH-Di is a breeze to do and the call clarity is excellent.
However, we found that couldn't change the volume during a call, which on the default volume, was a little harsh on sensitive ears. As for sending SMS and MMS, both are simple to do and the predictive text feature is generally spot on; however, we found using the bottom row of the keypad a little cumbersome to use due to its raised base. A great draw card is the Samsung SGH-Di's in-built camera, which although not top-of-the-line at 3MP, is very impressive, even in low and artificial light.
With auto-focus, the Samsung provides images with sharp edges, as well as high colour fidelity and saturation.
