Samsung SCH-i730 Smartphone

Pros: This is a very powerful phone.
Cons: This phone is so powerful, it doesn't really work as well as my simple phone.

I have been waiting for the Samsung SCH-i730 cell phone/PPC since it was announced at a trade show in January. I had just received an iPAQ rx3715 (see my other review), and while I love the iPAQ, the lack of cell phone coverage required me to carry two ...

Pros: Easy to use, nice features like voice, stylus control.
Cons: Consume battery quick, Lock feature is not great, comes with windows mobile 2003! (

Introduction I got the phone or data voice through my company. At first, I had no idea what it was. It is more than a pocket pc. They call it smartphone. How smart it is? Smart, but not smart enough to me, yet I still love it because ...

Pros: Multiple functionality - Great for multitasking business users Fast Nice resolution
Cons: Battery life Microsoft OS Size

I'm close to the 2 year mark so thought I would provide some updates - Technologically, the IPhone release will make this phone a bit obsolete soon, but remember it was truly one of the first of its class - doing many of the things IPhone users are ...

Pros: Great all around Pocket PC phone. Finest convergence device I have seen.
Cons: You cannot use Wifi or Broadband while calling.

I own a XV6600 and I bought this Samsung i730 phone for my wife. After using it for a couple weeks we both have an opinion on it. My wife (certified cellphone killer) loves it and sofar it has survived her usage. In two weeks she has dropped it twice. ...

Pros: does everything.
Cons: battery life.

I was so frustrated using an Audiovox XV6600 PDA all-in-one phone, and traded it in for the SCH i730. I'm new to PDA phones, by the way. Have only been using them for 4 weeks (including the time spent with that frustrating Audiovox) First, the ...

Pros: Sleek non-cookie cutter design, Built in WIFI, and keyboard. Resolution.
Cons: Message notification, no Camera, so-so phone software.

I was faced with a very tough decision that my Verizon customers interested in PDA phones had to do. With the larger selection as of recent months, I had to consider each one carefully. Like many, it came down to, in my opinion the two best PDA phones; ...

Pros: Voice-dialing software is pretty slick.
Cons: Bulky. Poor battery life. Keyboard poorly designed. Not good for one-handed operation.

I read all of the reviews on CNET so chose this phone based on its high score. I travel quite a bit so need both a great phone as well as good email access. The other thing I desperately need is a device that I can operate with one hand as I'm juggling ...

Pros: PDA features, remote email and calendar
Cons: Phone features, buggy software, steep learning curve, poor battery life

I went from a Palm OS PDA and a Cingular cell phone to this, thinking to combine the two devices. Overall, it has been successful for me. At the same time, my colleague got the same phone and was ready to throw it at the wall. He was a power cell ...

Pros: WIFI, bluetooth, windows mobile, compact, light, more features then i can name.
Cons: QWERTY keyboard is way too small.

This is definitely a great phone. So many features packed into a smaller unit then a sidekick II, and has more power. I love this phone! So lets get down to what I really like and don't. You can view all the options on Samsung or Verizon's website. ...

Pros: Technology marvel, Great Looking, Multiple Features, WiFi & bluetooth. advanced and slim
Cons: MS operating system cumbersome, WiFi limitations, Poor useability, Battery life Read article for detail

As a gadget and technology early adopter I was thrilled to pay the $750 US price tag for my Samsung and unwrap the various boxes pamphlets chargers that come with the device. To Samsung's credit the phone ships with a clever charging cradle and two ...

Pros: Windows operating system
Cons: Difficult to use Cheap plastic slide parts Poor signal strength Very "stylus" reliable

I purchased one for my wife and me, with much anticipation. Even though I am "propeller head," it was difficult for me to use, much less my wife. It is definately a PDA first, and a phone second. There were times we just wanted to make a phone call. ...

Pros: Does it all! Customizeable power settings.
Cons: Occasional freeze, no speaker phone.

This PDA does it all. Phone, bluetooth, email, internet, record notes, SD memory card slot for increased storage, and 2 batteries. So far I have had great battery life, if you use it alot, you need to go into the memory and close all running programs ...

Pros: Looks Cool!
Cons: Poor Quality, Not user friendly, EXPENSIVE!, Battery Life, Functionality is terrible! Did I mention EXPENSIVE!

Do they even bother to carry one of these phones around before they launch them to the public? I mean, I'm a chemist... not an engineer. I could do a much better job at designing a phone. First, the phone looks cool and I think that may have been more ...

Pros: NOTHING OTHER THAN IT IS NEW AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE AMAZED
Cons: SOFTWARE FLAWS. BATTERY LIFE. SIZE AND WEIGHT

And here is why: 1. software errors and those whose designed the phone simply did not think things through. Samsung support will agree with these problems. When a call is initiated, that is once contact is made the screen darkens out, like a "nanny ...

Pros: Great PDA fuction, decent phone features (i.e., voice dialing), wifi, and bluetooth
Cons: Big, bulky, short battery life, Limited dial up networking options

I have tried them all, Treo 650, Treo 700w, Audiovox XV6700, and the newest blackberry (released in the 4th qtr of 2005) At the end of the day my Samsung i730 was the easiest to use, had the least operational glitches and the best feature set for a PDA. ...
