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.
The Bottom Line: Phone is featured packed! Give yourself a little time to learn how to use all the functions and you'll probably wonder how you got around life without one.

| imgr82day's Full Review: Samsung SPH-I300 |
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, setting up and tracking orders, calculating totals expenses for labor, and making appointments to visit with the little children. He can' be late, he's got business to conduct, meetings to attend and he'll be busy. Very busy until the end of this year!
Samsung's got the perfect solution for all the jovial, rotund guys wearing bright red jump suits with cotton trim cuffs and that smug snow colored beard...The 1st PDA/PCS phone!!!
I'd like to call it a modern day miracle that weighs approximately 6 ounces. This futuristic device performs lots of functions, I will break it down into three different sections "basic" and "advanced" and "neat things to try."
BASIC:
Make digital phone calls
Accepts pages and voicemail to answer calls for you when you can't answer them. (must setup this service with Sprint PCS)
Digital voice recorder.
*Calculator
*Scheduler with alarm (and snooze)
*Memo pad
ADVANCED:
Record a conversation that you're having with the caller.
This phone recognizes voice commands. (must setup this service with Sprint PCS)
Caller id capable, 3 way call and call waiting features.
25 different ring patterns and vibrates too.
99 speed dials
Address and phonebook are integrated into one.
The 'find' feature works much like it does in Windows(tm), type part of what you're searching for and your Palm pilot looks up the information for you.
Transmit data (Called 'HotSync') between your home computer and this PDA/PCS phone. (i.e. your address book)
NEAT THINGS TO TRY:
Check email and surf the wireless web with a really cool browser. (download this from the www.sprintpcs.com website)
You can run a Gameboy(tm) emulator so that your phone behaves like a Gameboy and play games with it.
The really nice thing about buying this phone is it comes complete with everything. 2 stylus pens, leather case, 2 phone batteries (so that you can swap them), the actual phone and home charger with serial connector. About the only thing that I can think of that you might want to get for this phone is a car charger. These are not yet available (but, I'm sure it will be soon).
The holidays are just around the corner, so if you don't pick one up for yourself, make sure you let someone else know that you would like the SAMSUNG SCH-I300 phone.
If you have questions, just drop me an email. Thanks.
Wondering how I got mine for $400? Drop me an email, I might be able to get you one at that price or possibly lower.
*=uses the Palm OS 3.5.2
