cheap stylish Sumsung D840 mobile phone

The Samsung D840 is a really smart-looking slide phone with a metallic casing. The silver casing marks a new direction for Samsung. The looks is very attractive, with subtle curves and bevelled cuts. It's hitting the shops at a time when 6 out of the top 10 best sellers are slide phones, so Samsung are definitely riding a wave with this one. And, as if that weren't enough, it's even slimmer than the Samsung D900, making the D840 the slimmest slide phone yet released. The D840 is the same width as the D900, but slightly shorter.cheap stylish Sumsung D840 mobile phoneIt would have been nice if Samsung could have shaved a few millimetres off the width of the phone, as both the D840 and D900 are rather wide. The keypad is flat and very similar to that used on the D830, but provides a bit more feedback than the D830's. Ergonomically the D840 isn't the easiest phone to use, but it's certainly not the worst and is perfectly usable.
