The menu system is classic Samsung, basically a love or hate affair. Current Samsung owners should have no problem mastering the menu but Motorola veteran like me needed some time to get use to the certain features. The few which stand out was for example any SMS sent out won’t automatically be saved in the sent folder. You have to select another option called sent and save if you want to save that particular SMS in the sent folder. Also the OK button in the middle of the scroll pad, in any other phone if you press it from the main screen, you expect the menu to show up, but not on any Samsung. Instead you get the browser firing up which fails to connect. The phone did came with preset accounts for Digi, Celcom and Maxis, but all failed due to some unknown reason. The settings were all correct as per my current phone.

The 3.0 Megapixel camera that comes equipped with the D880 is great on quality. Even though it lacks a flash like most camera phone these days, night photos are of decent quality. The only gripe I have about the camera is the 1 sec delay. After the press, it takes the D880 roughly 1 sec to autofocus the subject (if it is still there) before activating the shutter to take the photo. Couldn’t find any way to fixed it. On the bright side, the camera does come with lots of interesting and funky photo templates that you can play around with.

Overall a good phone, the D880 has its share of hiccups, but I don’t think there is any other dual sim phone which comes close to its features and design. If you carry around multiple mobiles and wish to cut down on them, you phone has arrive. But keep the 3G/HSDPA one, and replace the other since you’ll be surfing on EDGE only with the D880.

Comment: I recently bought an SGH-D880 mobile phone and immediately I have problem with it; the reason I got this phone it support 2 SIM cards, , for me it should be useful because I have 2 phones; one work at ZAIN IQ network and 2nd. At USGSM The problem when I assign the USGSM SIM card to be a primary I can’t make calls from this card, I can only receive calls even if its 2nd SIM? Either calls dropped, or not allowed and I got limited services on the SIM icon on the phone front. If I put this SIM card on other phone it works fine NO problem what so ever? I sent email to Samsung customer support but NO answer so far. emails or calls are my only way of communicating this problem. Please let me know what to do, I tried all options with the phone but NO avail?? Thank you for your help.

Name: Mohamad Sulahuddin	Comment: Correction. I'am a user of SGH-d880 phone and i dont have to restart the phone to make a call or sms using secondary sim. The procedure is very simple. Just before u press send/call button to sms/call, make sure u change to secondary sim using the button just above the volume button. Then press send/call. Its works fine. No need to reboot.
