Total Conclusion

Samsung is currently equipped with fully processed and noble, innovative mobile phones worldwide on the rise. The SGH-D880 has the task by the integrated dual SIM technology also play its part to help. In many concerns the optical succeed in this simple, but appears somewhat antiquated slider, too.

Also contact the individual processing facilities are considered an advantage to mention. The 3-MP camera comes with gratifying results in daylight, the same is true for the video mode. Not convinced us have minimal interruptions during the leadership of a conversation, regardless of the reception conditions. But we are convinced that this is an isolated phenomenon of our test unit. The use of dual SIM function could be even more convenient, as we would be on board with HSDPA wish, so that even faster into the Internet reaches.
