The Bottom Line: All in all, it's a good device. People really think it's cool and want to check it out all of the time. If you have the loot.... it's a winner...

| dlowe03's Full Review: Samsung SPH-I300 |
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 a few items.
Works and feels like a palm..cool. screen is a little smaller but it is really not a big deal...ok I can deal with that. Cradle charges phone and extra battery at the same time. Palm capabilities are true to form. Most palm apps work fine but there are a few exceptions.... not sure why... it may be related to the graffiti area which is hides when using the phone... who knows...
The biggest problems for me are changing batteries, using speakerphone.... I often lose information and need to re-sync when I do change batteries. I am use to it now and rarely change batteries. I don't remember this being the case when I first got this phone. The speakerphone requires a delicate tap on the screen at the right position.... you really need to use the stylus or have mini fingers as a matter of fact the same thing holds true for most phone functions... calls logs (ie missed, messages, etc).... bad design Samsung. When you are using the phone who wants to always grab the stylus. Sound quality is good and dialing is a breeze from the address book and there are applications which make dialing even easier. Try FingerDial... awesome program for the palm phone user.
Accessories are becoming more available for this device... I love my case, which looks like a regular phone case and is leather. Not that cheesy thing that comes with this $400-$500 phone. I also added an extended life battery... a must have. For accessories, I used:
www.accessories4samsung.com & www.factorydirectcellular.com
the first one is a samsung authorized dealer.... the second one is where I got the case from.
