Pros: Impressive color display. Attractive case. 8MB of memory. Good phone features.
Cons: Very expensive. Power-hungry.

The night was ... sultry. Even within the air conditioned confines of the local Starbucks coffee shop, the humidity of the early spring heat wave made its presence known. Sweat glistened on the foreheads of those retreating from the heat; searching for...

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”....

Pros: It's a color Palm! Crisp clear, lots of features.
Cons: Battery life, screen in daytime.

After about six months of using this phone, I think I am ready to write this review. I used the Kyocera smart phone for a few months before getting the Samsung, and, wow, is this so much better!

The basics

This is a...

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...

Pros: All in one device, 2 batteries, color screen, good browser, Palm software.
Cons: It's a brick, freezes regularly, screen on sunny days, serial connection

First, lets discuss what you get in the box:

1- Phone
2- Styli
2- Batteries
1- Wrist strap
1- Leather foilding case
1- CD with drivers
1- Manual

The phone- After you get past the brick like shape, you...

Pros: 1 Device for everything Beautiful design Great battery life Caller ID on top
Cons: Large size Display unreadable in sun No add on memory Email difficult

I have never been good with PDA's. I buy them, and they end up sitting at home, or in the car, and I never use them because I hate to lug them around with me all the time. Also, all the previous ones I have owned did not come with rechargable...

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...

Pros: VERY high on the "cool!" scale; combo PDA actually works; constructed well.
Cons: EXPENSIVE; only works with Sprint's PCS service; takes some getting used to.

Background
My writer/director wife had become a two-fisted double-barreled gunslinger. She'd often find herself with her PalmPilot III open in one hand and her Nokia 8260 cell phone in her other hand, thumbs tapping at the respective keypads...

Pros: Palm Pilot and phone in one unit,
Cons: May be inconvenient if you don't want to use a Palm device.

It’s been a few months since I purchased a Samsung SCH-I300, so the new-gadget thrill is pretty much over. As it turns out, I use the PDA features of this phone every day, and the phone has proven itself to be quite useful. I use this phone with the...

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...

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,...

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...

Pros: Cheap! Nice deskstand!
Cons: Old technology. Obsolete and useless web browser

It's April 2006, and I just upgraded to a new PDA, so this review is about the old unit. I’ve always been a late adopter of technology. Not because I’m a Luddite, but because new technology is so damn expensive. Take this phone, new it cost over ...

Pros: All in one device, Dial from address book, Apps and Games on the go
Cons: Don't Change batteries, Cost, Color screen could be better , Hard to see in daylight

I got the I300 back in January 02. I have had a chance to play with and use this device a lot. I am an engineer... pager, phone, palm, laptop.... I had more gadgets than Batman... many of you know what I mean. This purchase was an attempt to eliminate...

Pros: Best phone/PDA you could ask for - it's the best technology can offer!
Cons: will freeze on you; bigger than most phones

Here's what happened: I had a Qualcomm phone that lost its antenna and I wasn't getting any calls coming in on my phone (the caller would be sent to my voicemail and a half hour later, I got a message) - not only that, I foolishly threw my PDA in the...
