Samsung is touting its SGH-D900 as its flagship GSM phone for fall 2006,
even giving the device a sexy name--the Black Carbon. The company
claims the SGH-D900 is the world's slimmest slider phone, but we're sure
another phone will emerge to silence this claim soon enough. In the
meantime, the Black Carbon is certainly skinny, yet manages to pack in a
ton of features. While the Samsung SGH-D900 is not available with a
U.S. carrier, you can purchase an unlocked version for $385 to $410.The first thing that catches your attention with the D900 would be its 12.9mm (0.5") thickness, which is almost half that of the D600. If the phone has to be thin, chances are it might be wide too, as we learned from the RAZR. The SGH-D900 is indeed wider than average, with its proportions running 103.5mm x 51mm (4.07" x 2"). The good news is that the wider body provides space for a better grip and a better keypad. The bad news is that the 2.12" screen looks bitterly small now.
