Samsung I300 A Palm IIIc on Steroids

by jcare Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 30 '01
Pros: More Palm than Phone, Color screen, ergonomically designed. Very Cool
Cons: Some phone functions are awkward – list scrolling in particular. Low battery life.
So close!! Four months ago I reviewed the Kyocera QCP6035 Smartphone and said at the time it needed one more release and a color screen. Samsung so nearly got it right. But, to quote General Schwartzkopf “Good enough is sometimes good enough”....

Excellent all-in-one Palm/Cell Phone

by green-z Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 06 '01
Pros: Light, good reception, nice implementation of the Palm OS and cell phone
Cons: Small screen, hard to see screen in bright sunlight.
Using the Kyocera Palm Phone as a benchmark for these type of PDA/cell phone devices, the Samsung i300 is a winner.

The Good:

It feels like a phone in your hand, not a brick.
Good consistent reception.
Phone is easy to...

Samsung I300

by russellk , Oct 11 '01
Pros: Compact, stylish, well contructed phone. Long Battery Life
Cons: nothing yet.
[Update 10/22/2001]
A software called MegaDoc crashed on me and I had to soft reset but some how it got hard reset. MegaDoc works very well but sometimes it crashes where I have to hard reset. Soft reset isn't possible. I am exploring getting...

Love this phone

by brainerd , Oct 14 '01
Pros: Finally! A successful marriage of a Palm and Cell Phone.
Cons: Few. Battery life is good, but a daily charge is needed.
I was always frustrated by the need to carry my cell phone and Palm. This phone combines both devices in a compact and useful device. No longer will I need to input phone numbers into a new cell phone.

*** Great Features ***

Wow! Buy this phone.

by masonuc , Oct 17 '01
Pros: All-in-1, thin, great speakerphone, 8 MB and color, OS 3.5.1
Cons: A little too big, some problems with 3d party apps, bugs, stylus problems
I've only been using this phone for 2 days, so my review will be somewhat limited. First, let me say this: the pictures on samsung.com don't do this phone justice. It's a lot smaller than you think -- especially if you were turned off by the Kyocera...

Hello ... your Palm is ringing

by dtoombs , Nov 03 '01
Pros: Converges phone and PDA - no more carrying two devices, speakerphone, excellent sound quality.
Cons: Screen could use a bit of help, Palm/Phone integration not 100% yet
Hi, you can call me Batman.

At least, that's what my friends have taken to calling me from time to time.

Why do they do this? Is it because I'm a wealthy multi-billionaire with a secret crime-fighting alter-ego? Hardly. Is it...

The best of both worlds

by derekdmoore , Nov 14 '01
Pros: Your world at your fingertips;Dial from Address book;Voice dial;PDA while on speakerphone
Cons: Hard to use one-handed; Goes to sleep (screen) while on speakerphone.
Samsung has achieved a tremendous success with this product. For those that rely on a PDA to keep their lives organized and occasionally need to use the phone this product is perfect. For those that are constantly on the phone (but not of course while...

Every 'Santa' needs one.

by imgr82day , Nov 20 '01
Pros: Legible screen, large touch pad with full function Palm OS, and high quality digital phone.
Cons: If you have big fingers, you'll need to use the stylus to make phone calls.
It's the perfect stocking stuffer...oh, wait a minute...I think you'll need to stuff one of these in your pocket before the holidays arrive. Because everyone knows, 'Santa' will be busy communicating with the elves to fulfill those holiday wishlists,...

The best palmphone available

by ruttrigvag , Nov 26 '01
Pros: Combines color palm & cell phone, full web browsing and email access
Cons: no USB syncing..., sprint does not provide SMTP services for sending email.
Lots more info at http://www.sphi300.com

The only device out right now that basically combines a Palm VII and a digital phone while adding color.

I upgraded from a Palm VII and a StarTac phone to this device. You can use any PQA...

By far under-rated by Sprint - phenomenal product!

by mpepsilon , Nov 28 '01
Pros: Small - lightweight as the m505. Well-thought through design and functionality. Worth every penny.
Cons: Is $500, but is perfect meld of phone and Palm.
The Samsung SPH I-300, or PalmPhone as I will call it is probably the greatest meld between a Palm PDA and a CDMA Sprint phone. This phone is about the thickness of the m505, and a little bit taller, but this is by far the finest product that uses a...

Samsung SPH I300 is Digital Dynamite

by bcaskey , Dec 13 '01

Cons: Silver/Slick finish makes easy to slip out of hands. Accessories hard to find. 8mb limitation.
Measurements: 4 3/4 inches tall X 2 ¼ inches wide X ¾ inches thick.

A step in the right direction

by tdc100u , Dec 18 '01
Pros: Tight integration between Palm and phone
Cons: Fragile, lacks expansion slots, inferior case options
By profession, I assess PIMs and wireless devices for use in the enterprise environment. Previously, I had a Palm VII and traded up to the I300 because it integrates the Palm OS with a mobile phone. After working with it for a week, I’ve decided that I...

sph-i300

by intechmed , Dec 27 '01
Pros: A nice integrated phone and palm device with many cool features.
Cons: Bad button placement, touch screen and call do not mix well.
The new Samsung SPH-I300 is a real useful phone and pda for those whole really need both and dislike carrying two items or worst yet leave one behind.

For the many pro's the phone/pda has the many, many con's it has.

Samsung I300 - Time to take the plunge

by norcalal , Jan 30 '02
Pros: Excellent merging of 2 technologies into one cool product.
Cons: Screen quality in bright sunlight, Serial based hot sync cradle.
When I first heard of this product, I was skeptical that it could live up to the hype - having used the Handspring Visor Phone, but not the Kyocera. The Visor phone was sooooo bad, that I was tainted, but I knew a lot of that had as much to do with the...

Finally!

by Draggar , Feb 03 '02
Pros: Great reception - great color
Cons: Can be a little confusing at first
Finally!
After NeoPoint put out their 1000, after LG put out the 3000, and after Kyrocera put out the 6035, there is a PDA/Phone that I can say is a really good unit.

Samsung has always been one of the leading manufacturers of mobile...
