The D800 imperceptibly reminds sliders by Nokia, earlier it was Nokia 8810 and today it is Nokia 8800. Similarity is present only by sensations and it will not be seen at direct comparison. From some angels of view D800 was considered to be Nokia 8800 by many people due to the insignificant slider's size and the presence of a chrome plated fringing. This element of design is evident and shades the device. It is unusual for Samsung to use other materials than monophonic plastic; the company starts this practice only at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next year.
At a constant use of D800 it will be necessary to reconcile to a dirt on the screen or to carry it in a pocket of jeans (it's a variant of self-cleaning of surfaces). Use of glossy plastic looks advantageously in a show-window, but in daily life it is not so good. This type of plastic is steady to fretting, but scratches still appear on it, especially at the top part of the screen. Fretting is appreciable at attentive studying of the device, in usual conditions you will not see such problem (it is a question of durability of the device's appearance; in my opinion, it will make about one year at daily usage). Certainly, there is always a probability, that the user will be accurate and mentioned reasons will be senseless.
The model D820 looks not so brightly, but it has a latent charm. Matte plastic which does not cause any traces, is shaded by the varnish of the bottom part of the device and navi button; the top face is the same as a back part with the camera's module (it is visible only in the opened condition). The screen is spoiled similar to D800, but the dirt is not so appreciable.
The model D800 has the size of 97х52х16 mm in a closed condition that is quite comparable with modern monoblocks (including thickness, the difference is only 2 millimeters). Certainly, there is aesthetics of smaller thickness but the device is not so "thin" as it is presented by the manufacturer
Keys are made according to an old technology widely known by thin calculators of the first generation (many people remember such plates at the end of 1980th). The analogy to thin calculators is interesting because the minimal thickness of the case (1.5 mm) was already achieved at that time, the calculator could be hidden though in a wallet or in a pocket. But such calculators have not got accustomed widely; today full-size calculators with the big and convenient keys are still preferable. Probably, the phones miniaturization will go in the same way, some models are not convenient though the look brightly.
