1. LIVING WORLD (THEME)
WALLPAPER (uGo):
The wallpaper is a
picture of an important landmark of the country in which you are;(House
of parliament for UK, Tower of Kolalampur for Malaysia) with animations
like birds flying etc. When you reach another country, the wallpaper
changes accordingly. It probably uses the operator signals for this.
When night falls, night falls in the wallpaper too!
There are animations separately for day and
night. When a missed call or new message is there, the animation
changes, like, aeroplanes in the day and fireworks at night. When the
signal is weak, sky is cloudy and if signal is strong, sky is clear. If
no signal or offline mode, there is another picture like grassy field.
The
wallpaper speaks!

2. uMenu:
A personalised menu
of
shortcuts. U Menu has two parts. The 'My
Menu' shows up on pressing "up' navigation
key, it has upto
5 shortcuts of your
favourite functions, can be
selected from a list of options. This part is not a unique feature of
Samsung, seen in other makes also.
The unique and more intelligent part is the
'Advanced Shortcuts'. For example, type 1203 in idle mode.
Press 'Down' navigation key and calculator starts with 1203 on its
screen! Press 'Up' key and alarm menu opens with set time 12:03(AM/PM).
Press 'right' key and a calendar entry can be made on 12/03/2007. Press
'left', the write-message screen appears and the sms will be sent to
1203, (if it is valid). Come back to main screen at any time and 1203
remains there, ready for another operation. Intelligent!
This
resemblesuSearch function in X820 and
P310.

4. MP4 VIDEO RECORDING:Many other
leading models can play MP4 videos but they record in 3GP (low
quality). D900, like many other Samsung phones, can record video in mp4
(3GP also)

VIDEO CALLER ID:you
can record a video and assign to a phonebook entry so that when
incoming call from the contact comes, the video is displayed.
6. REJECT SMS:you can
reject an incoming call by pressing
and holding the side-volume-key (while in a meeting etc). When you do
so, a preset text message(created earlier by you)is sent to the caller
for explanation, and of course, with your conformation. You can set the
function as reject with/without the sms and alternatively to mute the
tone when it rings.

SOS MESSAGE:
If this is active, when you press
the volume key 4 times, an emergency message is sent to 10 preset
numbers. If any of these numbers calls back, the phone automatically
connects without waiting for you to press the green key. All the
operations are done silently with vibration. Useful in an emergency.
