    Pros: Good reception & integration of functions

    Cons: Keyboard is tough to use

    Overall not a bad product. The phone has good reception, and the PDA is a convieient function. However, the keyboard and charge hookups are difficult to use. Even with these issues, I would recommend purchase of the product, but read the owners manua...l to understand all of its capabilities and functions. Read more Less

    has the right features, but needs more work

    Pros: full featured PDA with window interface

    Cons: case, controls, no camera, and crashes like windows

    I was very excited about upgrading to this PDA from my Treo. As a previous user of both Blackberry and Treo PDA's, I was willing to put down top dollar to get what I wanted. I have been disappointed. The phone is a good size, however, the slide ...out keyboard cannot be locked in place,so the phone can be awkward to handle. The belt clip on this phone simply does not work. I never had the number of drops with my Blackberry or Treo that I have with this device. It frequently falls out of the clip which is evidenced by the many scratches on my phone. The voice recorder function and the volume control are also very easy to inadvertently depress when using the phone. Also, I like to keep a very pristine phone and I usually will buy a case. Samsung does not offer a case for this phone. Since it is windows based software, it does crash on ocassion and when the PDA comes back on, the phone and the Bluetooth do not automatically come back on. Also the phone will has a delaye Read more Less

    Samsung SCH-i730 Review

    On paper, the Samsung SCH-i730 sounds like a great phone. It has EVDO, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, both ""regular"" and QWERTY keyboard input methods, Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 software, and a whole host of other features. Read more

    Samsung SCH-i730

    Small, light, and powerful, the Samsung SCH-i730's high-speed data support and built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi make it an excellent choice for those who have to stay connected at all times, though the crippled Bluetooth support may spoil the party for laptop road warriors. Read more
