Amazon.com Product Description
Don't turn this phone sideways. It's likely to disappear. Meet one of the thinnest phones on the market, the Samsung SGH-X820. At just about a quarter of an inch thick at its widest point, this phone slides effortlessly into the tightest jeans pocket. It also looks great, with a unique beveled faceplate that makes it comfortable to hold. Somehow, Samsung has also managed to fit some amazing features into this small package, including stereo Bluetooth, a music player, support for EDGE high-speed data, an email client, and a speakerphone. Perhaps most impressively, the X820 also sports a two-megapixel camera. 
The X820 packs impressive features into its incredibly slim frame. | Design
The X820 takes the candybar form factor and runs it under a steamroller, making this one flat phone. Constructed of fiberglass-infused plastic, the case might be thin, but it's also strong enough to handle rough and tumble days. The large, 220 x 176 display supports up to 262,000 colors -- plenty of resolution and color depth for your videos and photos. A five-way center control button is positioned below the display, as are shortcut and selection keys. The phone's two-megapixel camera is housed on the rear of the phone, and a USB data port is provided, as well. Side keys allow you to quickly control the volume while you're on a call. Calling Features
With 80 MB of internal memory, the X820 is designed to hold 1000 contacts, phone numbers and addresses. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls, and in addition to a vibrating alert, the phone supports polyphonic ringtones and MP3-based music ringtones. A speakerphone lets you talk hands-free while you're doing other things, and picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. The X820's Bluetooth wireless technology lets talk freely on a wireless headset or sync up seamlessly with your PC and other compatible Bluetooth devices. You can even use it with wireless stereo headphones. Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The X820 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. A built-in email client lets you keep tabs on your important communications throughout the day. Getting on the Internet is easy with the X820, too. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with your carrier's data service and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in browser for downloads and mobile Web browsing. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile text messaging users. A number of handy productivity tools are bundled with the X820 including an alarm clock, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and a timer. And because the X820 supports the SyncML synchronization standard, you can easily sync your PC-based contacts via USB or Bluetooth. Imaging and Entertainment
The X820's built-in 2-megapixel camera captures stills and video to the phone's internal memory, and you can easily print your pictures without a PC, thanks to the phone's PictBridge compatibility. Simply connect the phone via USB to a PictBridge-compatible printer and print away. Into music? You're in luck with the X820. Store your favorite MP3- or AAC-based music on the X820 and listen whenever the feeling strikes you on the built-in stereo speakers. When you want to jam out in private you can use a Bluetooth wireless stereo headset. Lastly, if you want to dress up your X820, picture effects, custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be set to fit your personality. Java support is built into the X820, making it a powerful gaming companion. You can also download games directly to the device, or use the handset's USB data connection to load more games and files onto the phone. Vital Statistics
The Samsung SGH-X820 weighs 2.33 ounces and measures 4.45 x 1.97 x 0.27 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 2.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 210 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900 frequencies.

 Buyer Beware November 29, 2007

Now where do i start...
Please read the whole review.
1.The main thing is that the Phone processor is unstable. Shuts off when talking, texting or dialing. Not good when your on an important phone call. Cuts out on me about 2-3 times a day
2. Antenna is weak. Doesn't pick up signels where my Razor did! Always has dead spots. Will cut out more than any other phone.
3. Too thin! Need blue tooth to talk. Holding it is like holding a barbie phone to your ear
4. Cannot lay on shoulder to talk. Must use bluetooth.
5. doesn't have a function for Vibrate and Ringer. One or other
6. My fingers aren't big and they still have a hard time hitting the keys accuratly. Keys are too small
I've had this phone for 6 months now and looking for a different one. I thought small was good but not for a phone. Fits in the pocket, picture is awesome but it doesn't make up for all negatives. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO USES THE PHONE 5000 MINUTES A MONTH.

Makes the RAZR look like The Nutty Professor! April 20, 2007

This is, hands down, the thinnest phone on the market right now. If you put it next to the RAZR, you will wonder how you ever thought the RAZR was thin. Not only is this phone slick and stylish, it functions great too. It has everything you'd expect, plus more. Camera, video, voice recorder, mp3 player, internet, email, even applications like calculator, stopwatch, currency converters, etc. It supports Java games and applications. You can even view txt/word/pdf documents (although they require a lot of zooming and panning to be readable on the small screen). The sound on this phone is top notch. The speakers are crystal clear and super-loud. Speaker-phone works great. And the included headphones are nice quality (even better than the stock iPod headphones). Overall it does everything you would need a phone to do and does it with style.
But who cares what the phone does when it looks this sexy? The design of the phone is very nice. The buttons actually feel like real buttons (unlike those esoteric designs on the Motorolas). The screen is bright and crisp, not blurry like most phones. The menus look nice, clean design and are easy to navigate. Everything about this device is quality. Bottom-line, this is the phone that James Bond would have. You will not be disappointed.
 Poor battery life March 8, 2007

Samsung phones, in general, have very poor battery life. I find myself charging this phone each night.
Samsung knows how to make a thin phone! January 4, 2007

Now this is how you make an ultra-thin phone! I bought this phone after the screen on my Motorola RAZR died and I couldn't get it replaced under warranty. This is by far the thinnest phone I have ever seen. Not just that, it is one of the thinnest devices I have ever used, period. Reading the specs simply cannot prepare you for how shockingly thin this phone is the first time you hold it in your hands, and the RAZR is already a thin phone.
The user interface and response time of this phone make Motorola phones, especially the RAZR, seem like they are from the early 90's, seriously. After using this phone I could never go back to the slow, clunky Motorola UI. This phone also implements almost every feature very intuitively and does it well. There is no expandable memory, but that doesn't bother me personally, I didn't buy this phone to replace my iPod or digital camera, I got this phone because I wanted to make phone calls and send text messages without having a giant bulge in my pocket when I go out.
I do have a few complaints about this phone. The battery life isn't the best. I would not recommend using a Bluetooth headset or headphones with this phone because it would never last the entire day. The vibrate functionality of this phone is, I have to admit, a bit infuriating and is the one thing I miss from my Motorola. There is no option for vibrate and ring to work at the same time. Not only that, but it does not alternate between them in the vibrate + ring mode. It vibrates for 2-3 rings and then makes the tone after this. I can see why it might work this way, after all if you can feel the vibration you can answer the phone before it starts ringing, but to not even have the option to do them simultaneously is absurd. Also, you can set vibration for when you receive text messages, but there is no separate option for further notifications like there is on Motorolas. Again, a major oversight because I used to set the text reception to a beep and then if I missed it my phone would vibrate until I checked the massage (same with vocemail messages which have this same problem). Why would I want it to continue to beep? I probably missed the beep because I didn't hear it, and a phone that beeps nonstop until you check your voicemail or text messages or whatever it's whining about can be irritating in situations where you can't do so immediately.
My last complaint has to do with reception. This is a Tri-band phone, which means it does not utilize the 850Mhz frequency that is still used in many areas in the USA. This is not a problem in most medium-large cities because the GSM carriers (I have Cingular) are rolling out their new 3G networks which don't use the 850Mhz frequency, but once you're outside of the city you can run into some reception problems. Luckily most GSM carriers, even in the US, are switching over to their 3G networks nationwide in the coming year or so, so you really won't have to worry about these kinds of problems for much longer, but if you live in an area that is known for shoddy reception do not, I repeat, do not get this phone.
Overall this is the best phone I have purchased so far, but I have not traveled with it so I'll have to find out how the Tri-band works in other areas I visit frequently. I'm giving it 4 stars because of the inexplicable lack of options for the vibrate feature and their choice of Tri-band over Quad.
