The Samsung D807 is a quad band GSM cell phone capable of operating on GSM -based wireless networks worldwide. It also taps the power of EDGE or Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, a high speed data network that runs concurrently with the mobile voice service. Cingular's EDGE network offers data downloads at up to 144 Kbps.
EDGE gives mobile professionals the ability to send and receive email, and browse mobile web sites using the built-in WAP 2.0 browser in the D807. This phone also supports streaming video at up to 15 frames per second.
The Samsung D807 includes a 1.3 Megapixel digital camera with flash and self-timer. It takes printable photos and will capture short videos up to 20 seconds long when you switch to camcorder mode. Built-in memory is 22 MB. It can be easily expanded using plug-in MicroSD memory cards. Extra memory comes in handy when you want to take a lot of high resolution photos or download podcasts and music to the built-in MP3 player.
The color display on the D807 measures 176 x 220 pixels and is one of the highest resolution screens available in a cell phone at over 262,000 colors displayed. It's a nice match for the Megapixel camera and streaming video capability.
