'having said as much, i do like this phone very much. i previously tried out the samsung a900 for 2 weeks and thought that the design of the samsung was missing two crucial elements: memory and battery life. sanyo got both right in m1, and more.'
'Sanyo uses that gigabyte as a springboard to give the phone as much multimedia juice as possible.'
'as today's phones are so slim and slender in comparison.'
'Don't get me wrong - at roughly twice the thickness of your standard "slim phone," this handset bulges noticeably in the pocket of all but the baggiest pants. '
'The phone feels solid overall, and the soft-touch finish on back prevents it from feeling completely slick and becoming a complete smudge magnet like the front of the device.'
'Even more convenient, everything you do on your phone is mirrored on Studio, which means all photos and low resolution videos are automatically uploaded to your Kin Web page. '
'it's that phone calls are dead, and everyone is Facebooking like it's going out of style.'
'Overall, the Kin One's hardware is the nicest thing about the phone: It's compact, good looking, tough and just plain fun to hold and use.
'
'the phone was powerful enough to handle the robust mapping app.'
'The phones support hot-swapping of cards and the slots are easily accessible under a plastic door on the phones' left sides.'
'Bright display Impressive back cover Camera with Carl Zeiss lens 3.5mm audio jack on top All in all the handset feels quite solid in your hands but is also relatively light which we believe is important for most.'
'the phone is solid and slick, although a little on the heavy side at 110 grams.'
'the phone does not stay steady in the hand.'
'It's slow, it has just a VGA camera, MP3s sound like they're being played back from a sarcophagus under a pyramid, and, well, just about everyone in a second class train compartment can now be segregated into Nokia 6600 users and some Reliance users.'
'A speakerphone is useful for hands-free calling when you're driving or multitasking.'
'The phone was able to take a 4GB Kingston microSD card to hold music and video, and it comes with Roxio software that automatically transcodes your videos into a format that works on the phone.'
'A few dropped calls when switching between Wi-Fi and GSM'
'Expensive.'
'For those who are technically minded, UMA works only with GSM and it's technically not VoIP as are SIP services.'
'To the right side of the phone you find the dedicated camera key along with the universal connector, which is used to connect your charger and your headset.'
'It feels somewhat heavy to push open and we tended to hit buttons on the front of the phone when sliding it upwards.'
'Unfortunately, there is no FM radio tuner in the D820.'
'Similar in both design and features, they're both slim slider phones featuring a rotating 1.3-megapixel camera lens, a video recorder, a music player, Bluetooth, and more.'
