Page 2 of 3 As for general usage, the phone can be set to lock automatically when it slides shut (no unintentional calls made from your pocket). The same function also ends calls and cancels text messages, whilst sliding the phone open unlocks it and answers calls. The Samsung D900i Candy includes an excellent 3.0-megapixel camera that takes good quality images on a decent-sized full colour screen. Pictures are slow to take so you have to be a bit patient and hope the guy in front of you at the gig doesn’t move – or you end up getting a picture of the back of his head! During tests the camera took better quality pictures outside than indoors, with images coming out a bit grainy inside. Image size starts at 800x600 and goes all the way up to 2048x1536. If you're a music fan, it's easy to upload songs using a memory card in the miniSD slot or by connecting it to your PC using the USB cable. Since the phone only holds 80MB you’re likely to need a memory card. Tracks can be easily set as ring tones, which is a blessing given the ones that come as standard. There's also an FM radio which picks up stations, although some can be fuzzy and come and go. Games fans are catered for, even though the handset only holds a couple of full versions – the rest are tasters that have to be purchased through the phone.
