Being slightly wider than most handsets nowadays, Samsung T809 measures 3.8 x 2.0 x 0.6 inches and weighs in at 3 ounces. However, as the slider, Samsung T809 is also very slim and light, the width is duly compensated for by a cool and sleek design. The most apparent design trade-off on Samsung T809 is the mediocre 5-way navigational pad, yet the numerical keypad's flat buttons fortunately interact very well indeed with the handset's user interface. It should also be mentioned that the memory and charger slots' plastic inserts on each side of Samsung T809 kept popping out in a most annoying manner.
Samsung T809 sports an impressively bright and clear 262K color screen with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. Samsung T809's megapixel camera also impressed us, taking stills with excellent white balance and sharp colors. Pictures can also easily be sent by MMS, or be posted to an internet photo album via the camera application.
