Samsung IP-830w Smartphone Review - CNET

SamsungIP-830w.jpg

The Samsung IP-830w smart phone features dual mode CDMA + GSM (dual band), EV-DO highspeed data, Bluetooth, speakerphone, Windows Mobile 5.0, SD I/O slot, GoodLink email, QVGA display with 262k colors and a QWERTY keyboard. 'On front of the device, there is a 2.8-inch touch screen that displays 262,000 hues at a 240x320 pixel resolution. Though it shows off more colors than the Samsung SCH-i830, we didn't notice a difference; in fact, we actually found the display's colors to be a bit washed out.

We do love the convenience of the touch-screen functionality, however, as it gives you an easy and alternative method for inputting text and accessing the device's menus and programs. You also can navigate the smart phone with the set of controls beneath the screen, which include two soft keys, Talk and End keys, a Back button, shortcuts to your Calendar and Program Launcher, and a four-way navigation toggle with center Select key. The layout and buttons were on the smaller and cramped side, so users with larger digits might want to give it a test-drive before purchasing the phone.'
