The D900i's large buttons make it easy to text and the phone has the option of vivid text – where some words are translated into pictures when messages are read, not useful but fun! Words also appear as if the text is being written on the screen as you read messages. Your texts can also be peppered with fun emoticons, although these can only be received by similar phones and appear as blank spaces on other models.

We were shown a really cute feature during a demonstration where animals appear to fly out of the screen when you receive a message. But we were unable to find how to activate this function on the phone when we did finally get our hands on it for a full test.

One thing you can't help notice is how the main screen saver changes to the national landmark of whatever country you are in (although due to budget this has yet to be tested!). The image also changes from light to night at appropriate times of the day.
