Review: Samsung D410

Samsung D410 Review

Phone rating:

The Samsung D410 is the first in a new generation of Samsung phones featuring a slide design. The slide motion is semi-automatic, which means that a gentle push will make the slide mechanism open and close automatically.

The outstanding feature of the D410 is the size and quality of its display. The slide-up design allows space for one of the largest displays on any current mobile phone, and the Samsung's screen has 262,000 colours, making for a superbly crisp display with vivid colours, easily viewable under different lighting conditions. As a direct comparison, the D410's screen has nearly twice the number of pixels of the Samsung E700 or E800.

The D410 also features a rotating 300,000 pixel VGA camera for taking pictures on the move. The camera incorporates a digital zoom, brightness controls and a multi-shot function (up to 15 pictures). Photos can be saved as wallpaper, or sent to another phone or a computer using MMS or email. The phone also functions as a camcorder, allowing you to shoot video clips. The phone's large 262k colour screen is ideal for viewing recorded images and videos.

Samsung have added a number of nice user-friendly features to the D410 that have been missing from previous Samsungs. These include one-touch operation for key functions such as WAP, camera, texting, etc. Another nice new feature is 64-voice polyphonic ringtones, offering the best sounding ringtones yet.

On the negative side, the D410 still has the external aerial that tarnishes the phone's appearance and is at risk of damage. The phone is also missing Bluetooth and has very limited memory available for storing pictures and Java games. It's also far too bulky to be a practical option for most users. On balance the D410 seems to be a prototype for the fabulous D500 - it has some great features, but as an all-round performer it doesn't stack up.

Features of the Samsung D410 include:

• Large TFD display (176 x 200 pixels, 262,144 Colours)
• Rotating VGA Camera (640 x 480 resolution) with digital zoom, multi-shot, frames, effects and brightness control
• Video recorder & video playback
• Voice memo recorder
• 64-voice polyphonic ringtones, including 34 embedded ringtones
• Wallpaper & screensaver, including 6 embedded (supported formats: WBMP, GIF & AGIF, JPEG, Operator Logos)
• User-selectable keypad tones and slider tones
• SMS (with learning T9, maximum storage 200 messages), MMS (multimedia messaging), EMS
• E-mail (POP3, IMAP4)
• WAP 1.2, GPRS class 8
• Data transfer: IrDa, PC serial cable transfer
• vCard/vCalendar via IrDA
• Downloadable Java™ games (4 games included)
• Phonebook (maximum 1000 entries)
• Organiser: Clock, worldtime, alarm (auto switch on, when phone is off), scheduler, calendar, "to do" list, currency converter, calculator
• One-touch key operation for camera, WAP, SMS, voice memo, ringtone and silent mode
• Memory: 600 Kbytes (image & sound), 850 Kbytes (Java games)
• Vibration alert
• Tri-Band (900/1800/1900 Mhz)

I'm not a crazy mobile users ! Hmmm, mainly just for sms, call and games sometimes.... the fone is excellent in design and work without any errors, can guarantee with u ! Yes, compared to nowadays, it's nothing, no mp3, no video call, no bluetooth, but actually for an average user like me. It's more than enough! And recent Samsung design, I think they ain't good as D410, so it stilll goes with me then...... 5 stars!

I have used the Samsung D410 for a while now and i guess its not the best there is but it does look sleek and stylish.the problem though is that its aerial makes it seem old fashioned a little out of touch with the new way of things.Also i have issues with the fibre, it seems to affect the sound once the mouthpiece if faulty.Some time back it droped down, took me a good spending to fix the sound and the mouthpiece.otherwise, its not too bad after all.

I think this phone is poor. I bought it just when it came out. For so much, about N54,000. It is just so expensive with little function to go. Quite Okay the screen is a bright 262 thosand colour and cute, but that's as far as it goes. It fades in the sun. audio recording (amr format) is only 5 and not more than 5 secs. The video recording is without sound and is less than 20 secs. No support for MP3 No integrated habdsfree(loud speaker). No blue tooth. The infra red doesn't work. I think that I was cheated by Samsung. I disagree with the last person who said that the phone was made years better than other phones its time. I think that is not true. The phone lacks very basic essential and important functions. It is so bulky yet no good function to show for it. Then why in heaven did they give it so much weight?Any one that thinks of buying it, should think again. Samsung D600, SE K750 are better alternative. You are warned. The one I have is spoilt now. The screen just went blank. Totally white. Think twice friend.

This phone was so far ahead of its time it is unreal. It still looks better than nearly every phone around almost 2 years after its release. I was one of the first people in the UK to own one and bought it 'handset only' for about £400. A bargain it was too- I never experienced any problems with the phone. For over a year, everyone who saw it was amazed at how stunning it looked... and I never once saw another person with one wherever in the world I went. Maybe now the features cannot compete, and the external aerial was always a tad poor aesthetically speaking, however, for pure class, smoothness, sophistication, and to be truly unique (put simply, a cut above everyone else and their phone) nothing ever has and probably ever will compete with the Samsung D410. Its extremely high price tag, styling, futuristic design, and scarcity make it a genuine classic.

The phone that I have is the Samsung d410, this isn’t a very new phone and it has two phones which have been upgraded from it. The reason I choose this phone was because I liked the look of it and it carried a camera on the back of it and I’ve always wanted a camera phone. I use my phone mostly every day in my life to send text message and call people, and also receive them from people. The phone is a pay monthly phone so I received the phone for free and I have to pay £15 a month. The reason I choose this tariff is that I seem to use much more text messages then I do calling. I choose the tariff that gives me the most text messages. By paying £15 a month I receive 250 free texts and 100 minutes of free calls. The phone is easy to use and its pocket size once you slide the two halves together. The good reason why I choose the phone is because it is meant to have a big, clear, colourful screen. When I take the picture of anything the camera and video are both very fast acting and the camera allows me to take 15 different pictures of the same thing in a split 5 seconds. Another good feature about the camera on this phone is that the camera is turn able and you are able to turn the camera round on the top of the phone. This is mostly used to take a picture of you and other things that you need to take a picture of. The phone is that the camera has special features such as zoom, double zoom, night vision, heat seeking vision etcetera. My phone also features a rotating 300,000 pixel VGA camera for taking pictures on the move. And the Samsung's screen has 262,000 colours, making for a superbly crisp display with vivid colours, easily viewable under different lighting conditions. Photos can be saved as wallpaper, or sent to another phone or a computer using MMS or email. On the bad side, the D410 still has the aerial that ruins the phone's appearance and is at risk of damage. The phone is also missing Bluetooth and has limited memory available for storing pictures and Java games. The phone satisfies all of my needs it is an easy hand held. Object it isn’t exactly long and jiggered so it fits in your hand just perfect. And it doesn’t feel like over phones when you hold it against your ear. The other good things about the phone are that the ring tones are polyphonic which means they aren’t tuned into keypad beeps. You can use the microphone on the phone to record your own soundtracks and listen to them, as your ring tone or a messaging warning or as simple as an alarm clock.

This phone is easy to use. It's problem is that it doesn't do very much at all. The wap is limited as most downloads are not compatable with this handset. Also the infra red function is pointless, unless you want to copy your friend's address book (providing they have the same handset as you!). On the plus side, the camera is very good for a mobile, and the picture quality is great. It's a shame there is no way to transfer pictures to your PC. Overall this phone is poor by today's standards, but I would definatly consider having a newer Samsung moile phone.

I liked the phone when I bought it. It was cool, althought there was little memory and no bluetooth, I still liked it because it was okay for my use. After 5 months he Flex Cable got problem and there was no sound and display. I got it repaired but after 15 days the same thing happened again. really annoying, the phone should work for atleast 2-3 years properly. The slider is the worst I've used. I would suggest never to buy this phone.

When i recieved this phone despite its sheer size i absolutely loved its slick looks and was proud to get it out when i was out clubbing etc (though this was summer 2004, not 2005). Alongside its neat and lush appearance the screen is bright and colourful, however, thats about it. The text messaging is, not just bad, but absolutely plain wrong - whoever on God's green earth decided that the txting should go back to capitals everytime you use it deserves to be shot in the chin, my mates thought i was having a go at them everytime i texted them. The built in memory for videos is diabolical, as far as i remember i could store 10 videos... 10!! i could have understood this if the phone featured a memory-card slot to back it up, but it doesn't. The tipsy (if not drunk or mental) designers back at Samsung also decided that the video-playback should feature a lovely border around the screen and i did not understand why there was an option to make the video screen small or large, it didn't make a difference to how many videos could be stored. I sent my phone back within my month's try-out period after realising i could not bare depending on this for at least a year on contract. Sending it back made me realise how bad the phone was even more when i could not save my photos and videos due to there not being any kind of computer connection. I do realise that i am typing this review nearly a year after i had it and that technology has progressed a lot since, but there is no excuse for this atrocity of a phone, i am still happily using the Nokia 7610 - a superior phone in every right - which came out around the same time and which i purchased just after the D410. Be warned, I am rating this 2 stars wholy due to the quality of its slick design and the clear colourful display which were both good at the time. However if i were to rate this compared to 2005 standards it would get a 1 single twinkling star next to its name. Noway will i ever buy another samsung phone - mostly because i would hate to contribute to the wages of whoever was incharge of making this phone, they aught to be ashamed.

I've had the D410 now for a year. I've given it 3 stars because I find it an excellant phone however the only thing was the fact that it is a bit bulky and that when txting it always goes back to caps. It doesn't have much memory for holding videos and they only last for 30 seconds. Screen and photo qualtiy is excellant. One thing that really hacked me off was when I accidently smashed the screen and phoned o2 to ask about getting it fixed. I had insurance and stated i wanted my phone back because i had a lot of photos and video's private numbers that I wanted to keep etc... as the pics and video's cant be stored on your sim. This was fine and they said they would pick my phone up and hand me a replacement for the meantime. A

I've had my D410 over a year now, and at first I was chuffed with it. I'm still happy with it in most respects, but I'm so irritated by one or two points that I'm now looking for a new phone. First, and most irritatingly, is the texting. The phone always defaults to caps. I change it to lower case, but then after entering punctuation, it has changed back to caps again!! Drives me crazy, especially if I haven't looked at the screen for a while, then have to delete and type again. Also, entering punctuation and symbols (for emoticons) is too long-winded. Second, you can only store four videos, and there is no way to get these off the phone and onto your PC. Photos can be emailed though. Video volume is extremely poor, as is ringtone volume. Other than those points, the phone has always worked fine. It makes phone calls, no problem.

I used to love this phone, it looks good, and had good functionality (though not everything I wanted). However, the buttons stopped working after 10 months, I use my phone a lot for texting and general use, but not excessive, and I look after it, so I expected it to be a bit more sturdy. Even though I have insurance and am still within warranty, 02 say they won't replace my handset, but I can pay £25 and get another one. I do not see why I should pay anything as it is not my fault. Anyway, ultimately, I have to question the longevity of Samsungs after this experience, but I do think that if handset problems occur, it is up to the network provider to sort it out. Will steer clear of 02 from now on, and probably Samsungs, although I do find them easy to use ..... when they work properly!!!

I bought this phone last June and was so impressed with it. I didn't know anyone else who had one. Pictures brilliant quality, voice calls good, looks great (although rather bulky). Anyway after about 4 months it started going all fuzzy and also when i received a text old texts came up instead. After a week of that the phone went totally dead and wouldn't even turn on.....so I sent it to Samsung who repaired it for free which I thought was really good of them. Has been working really well up until now....it has started to turn off and also showing old messages when I get one.......obviously a major problem. My contract is running out in June and I was thinking of buying the D500 as it's the upgraded version of the D410, but everyone seems to have one and I recently saw and read reviews on the E720 and am going to go for that. Sounds AMAZIN!!!! I wouldn't recommend people to buy the D410 as I reckon it would probably conk out and I think its just a fault in every D410 as it was the first sliding phone. I will always buy samsungs though....I mean they are deffo best looking phones around, and good quality (apart from D410)!!!! I will give this phone a 3* as it has been a good phone apart from conking out.

the d410 is a good phone with some flaws. on the plus side the screen is impressive, the clearest i have seen on a mobile phone. it has a huge memory for photos, i have over 200 hundred and it still has loads of memory. good design and the semi-auto slider has a lovely action! java and polyphonics (but most phones do these days) However, on the down side, Video memory is tiny (about 1 minutes in total!!) it doesn't save your sent messages so to send to several people involves retyping the whole thing or saving and sending it, can't send to groups. You can't have the phone on completely silent without going to phone settings, whereas most other phones are simpler to set to silent. no bluetooth, in fact any type of data sharing is impossible, infra red and mms don't work on my phone. even when someone sends me an mms i get an alert telling me to look at it online! I have had the same problem as some others, the screen kept going white and scarmbling, and the speaker stopped wor king, (ringtomes stopped working and couldn't hear people when they called me) However, i sent the phone back to samsung and it was repaired and sent back at no cost, samsung have THE best customer care I know. All in all, it has good features but there are FAR better phones availible, can't wait til next wek when i can upgrade to a d500!!

I got this phone on my birthday even though i already had a phone(nokia). all i can say is that this phone is junk dont let its good looks fool you!! pictures are not clear! it takes time to load anything!. the only good thing i liked about this phone is the ringtones which r by all means outstanding! i had the phone for 3 months and its already dieing. If you want a phone to impress buy it, if you want a phone that will last get a Nokia. samsung should really stick to makin tvs not cell phones.

My sister bought me this lovely phone and I found it very interesting with all its new features including the video which is uniqe when compared to my previous cellular. However, I was not able to apply the photo's that I pick from my freinds to be stored and used to pop up when they call me back. Rest, the unit is full of the new telecom technology.

this phone is absolutely incredible , not as small as the similar slide phone e800 but the features are much better on it.One the few phones with a 262000 range of colour display wich really does make a differece , the quality of the pictures and movies is amazing , not to mention the 62 polifonic sounds . Opening the phone using a single hand with the slide function with a gentle push makes you fell the high class of the phone , is doesnt feel like that cheap plastic on the nokia 6260 phone (big disapointment) , but one thing is for sure , it is not a phone for any country folk ,it could easily brake when it's opened. One the most amazing phones on the market , it is really worth buying.

I used to like this phone. I like it so much; I made my brother buy one. Error, after 6 month my phone died and my brother's phone is on the way to the phone's paradise too. We still have 6 month before the end of our contract and now we have to buy some new phone. Samsung builds some go looking phones with good graphics. But they need to last longer. In conclusion, that's a good phone. But don't buy it. Trust me on that.

I've had mine for five months and it's died! I've always had Nokias before, and I shall be returning to Nokia for my next phone. The D410 has a great screen but that's about it. The user wap interface is hopeless in comparison to other phones I've used. If you are already browsing you have to pretend you're saving a page your viewing to access your bookmarks. The provision for Java applications likewise is hopeless. And what is the point of being able to record video if you cannot send it to another device such as phone or pc? Samsung have disappointed me with this phone, the technology is there but they haven't utilised it as well as I would expect from a manufacturer supposedly at the forefront of their field.

The D410 is a good buy, considering the camera, graphics, clarity and video etc.. txt messaging is better with the shortcut button. however, the disadvantages include its size. which could have bin made smaller so as to fit in a jeans pocket. It could have been antenna-less. Has the probabilty to break off and asks for more care in handling. There is no blue tooth. I dont understand why not. provided every other feature is present.

Love this phone, but navigation not as good as Nokia. Battery life poor, but screen size and camera outweigh this. Difficult to buy accessories, maybe 'cos 'phone is new.

Basically I like the phone because of its elegant and classy design. Features are not that attractive. There are several improvements that should be made like on tones to accept mp3 and WAV extensions. Videos and camera are good but I guess it also needs some improvement like memory card. Pictures can be easily transferred to a computer via data cable. For me the design is very good but the applications and features must be developed and improved.

Overall an excellent phone but still can have some improvement. Picture and Video look great even when viewed over the computer. Sound is great. Menu is easily navigable. IrDA can be improved to send pictures and video to other phones. Ringtones are strictly MMF, it can be improved to accept MP3 or WAV. Since the phone takes good pictures and video, external memory hopefully can be added. Contact list can be improved to include mailing list on top of mobile, telephone, home, and email contact.

I am sorry to have to write this as up until the 16th September I was more than happy with the D410. But on the 16th September my phone began to do some rather strange and bizaar things. You will notice(if your phone has a fault) that the display becomes distorted, resulting in blue/black or red/orange lines about the screen. Or the screen could just be plain white. I have sent the phone back to Samsung as this is clearly a mnufacturers fault. I do hope that they are able to repair the fault as i love the phone!

I upgraded from the Samsung V200, which I agree with Darren, I totally loved this phone and wish I sticked with it. At present my D410 is 6weeks old and broken! The screen keeps on crashing just like the old Nokia 8210's. I am reallt disappointed in O2 as they will not fix it due to the phone being more than 28 days old! It cost me £59.99 just to upgrade!!

well have had the phone for a week now, upgraded from the V20 which i loved. the D410 is like a revamped V200. The menus are fantastic and the whole layout is really good. its more of a mans phone in comparison to the E800. i do have a few niggles with it. the D pad is fixed with what it shortcuts to, which on the V200 you could program to point to where you wanted. the T9 dictionary doesnt seem to store any words just adds them to the text. samsung have got very tight with what they supply with their phones now...i got a data cable with my V200 not so with the D410. i assumed i could use the data cable with the D410 this doesnt appear to be the case, however after contacting Samsung several times they cannot tell me why! it should work and still does with the V200. anyway the D410 is a fantastic phone and one i will be reluctant to upgrade from. GET ONE!

Nice Design, Most Clear Display, Bit heavy to hold in pocket, Nice rotataing camera, Antenna dosen't seems good but, fair as I think without it would, look like incomplete or unfinished phone. Amazing ringtones. Samsung keeps it's triditions to produce attractive mobiles and again leads the way producing 265k color display and 64 chord polyphonic ringtones. the ring tons have really excellent quality. Again samsung disoppointed regarding reception quality, this expensive phone also disconnects the calls where the signals are bit poor, same problem with nokia phones. Only Siemens works where nokia and samsung stops. Overal phone is quite attractive. Pictures memory is enough but video memory pool is less than satisfactory requirement of memory. It just hold 3 clips of 9** kb each and as 3mb is total the remaining of few kb's isn't usefull. I transfered the photos to pc, didn't feel any difference in picture quality than it's size when taken with superfine and economic quality mode. as you set more resolution of taking pictures the image quality is reduced than small one. especiall I noticed that on 640x480 resolution the center area of photo ( when transfered to pc ) is clear and our is much blur. and have on phones screen it's amazing with it's 265k screen. other hand the battery charge dosen't last more than 2 days if phone use frequently all the day. but in normal use it can give upto 4 to 5 days as it's screen completely turns off on standby mode. Again Overall phone is Good, but Much costly. only business class will buy it without considering it's high price. As young guys will wait for it's price to reduce.
