Samsung is one of the companies that have been pursuing the slim handset style, made popular with the Motorola V3. The company's D810 was criticized as being unoriginal, but nobody could complain when Samsung announced the thin D808. Very interesting review, check it out.

Big screen, thin, and smooth - these have made the D808 one of the best-looking phones around. Samsung is heading in a good direction, refining what they are the best at doing, and I think this is how a slider should be. Of course, there is no perfect phone in this world: the keypad, camera quality, lack of memory card slot, and price tag are all sacrificed for style.

Additional functions such as document viewer, TV out, and Korean language support might not be appealing to most people. The lack of a vibrate and ring profile might defer many business users to other brands. For me personally, the biggest disadvantage comes from its keypad.

To sum up, I would still give the D808 a recommended rating to people with smaller fingers looking for a mid-range fashion phone. Other handsets to consider will be LG P7200 and Motorola V3i.
