Samsung SGH-D880
After launching dual SIM GSM-CDMA dual on, now Samsung gives the alternative through its newest series: SGH-D880. Different from the same type phone which available in the market, this “Samsung Duos” comes up stronger.

Samsung SGH-D880 uses dual standby GSM technology. If compared to a kind phone, the price of D880 of course not cheap. But, feature presented noted far better.

Slider concept is selected as a basic form. Like unites two phone, Samsung D880 body dimension is not slim like Samsung D900. The thickness reaches 1,89 cm. Not so fatty.

Body shape, include D880 sliding construction can be said adopts it old brother form, SGH D900. Unhappily, its slide mechanism does not as good as D900. Moreover, touch area to access the slide-up and slide-down felt few slippery, bothering enough.

Its four direction navigation button (D-Pad) is comfort enough to accessing the menu. “Yes” button placed in its middle side, which also able functioned as internet access shortcut. It’s functional enough.

D880 applies 2,3 inches screen with 240x320 pixels resolution ( QVGA) and 262.144 colors depth. Display power like this equal to D900 screen D900. Clear, sharp and soft impression can be seen clearly.

Interface side is one of the excellences from this phone. From the menu display aspect, icon along with its effect can be said as result of continuation development from Black GUI interface, where available also attractive theme facility. Not monotonous with black color domination.

Samsung SGH-D880 has dual slot SIM card, which able to be attached by two GSM operator numbers. That why this phone recognized also with the Samsung Duos title. Both cellular numbers can be active at the same (Dual On). But, one of number acts as primary number.

To set the second number to become main number, Samsung D880 place special switch button in phone left side. Above the volume button. This button also can be used to determine which SIM card will work in message delivery process.

Even one of number is receiving a call, the other one number still be able to contact. And both called are acceptable concurrently, with the support from automatic hold and switch button help.

Similar with Samsung D900, Samsung Duos CMOS camera has 3,15 megapixel resolution. Maximum dimension from this camera is 2048x1536 pixels. The camera feature is not far different with its senior autofocus, shooting mode, timer, effects, frames, white balance, ISO and viewfinder mode. There is also the photo quality setting, program scene and exposure metering. Unhappily, macro mode support is unavailable.

Samsung SGH-D880 music player is good enough to plays mp3, aac, m4a and wma. The player display is also cool enough, added by equalizer media and 3D sound effect support.

Music will be heard more perfectly when we apply the figured in stereo headset. Samsung SGH-D880 headset quality is great, equal with the quality of Samsung mp3 player headset, for example YP-U2.

For dual on GSM phone, facility owned by Samsung SGH-D880 of course far better compared to its competitors; for example it 3 megapixel phone, java technology and receives phone in concurrently ability.
