Samsung D870 (SGH-D870)

Discontinued
14th March 2006

Looking for all the world like almost every other slider that Samsung have announced recently, the Samsung D870 does at least have one pretty much unique selling proposition - it comes with a 3.1 megapixel camera, which as far as we know is the highest resolution camera in any generally available sliding phone.

Everything else about the SGH-D870 is pretty similar to other Samsung sliders, with a 240x320 pixel display, 80Mb of memory expandable via microSD cards, Bluetooth, multimedia playback and the rest of the features you'd expect.

From the front, the D870 is pretty much the same unexciting design that we've seen on other recent Samsung sliders. We don't know if the other side of the phone is any better as Samsung haven't supplied photos of that part of the SGH-D870 and we've yet to get our hands on one. We suspect that the unexciting design is going to let down what would otherwise be an interesting phone.

The SGH-D870 is a tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 device with GPRS and EDGE that measures 104x51x19mm and weighs 93 grams. Price and availability are not know at the time of publication.
