Outstanding features: A pioneer in consumer electronics, Samsung has many good GSM mobile phones to its credit.

The much acclaimed D600 is now followed by the D820 -- a slider phone with 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and EDGE.

The bright 262K TFT screen displays vibrant colours even when you are using this phone in bright light.

The phone comes with 73MB of shared memory and a provision for expanding the same in the form of a Transflash card.

It can play music and video and the camera can capture images at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels and has a 180-degree rotating lens.

Just like the D600, the D820 also has a television-out jack that allows you to display the content of the phone on a television screen after you use the necessary A/V cable.

Drawbacks: Though Samsung is the master of slider phones, the D820 lacks necessary features like FM tuner. Also, for the price they are charging, it should have been a 3G phone (which offers much better data transfer speed when you are sending or receiving information).

Final word: The Samsung D820 is a fusion of immaculate style and function. With the 1.3-megapixel camera, coupled with 4x zoom, this quad-band phone is a good buy for businessmen and youth alike.

Cost: Rs 14,500 (street price)
