And I heard these things are difficult to type on because they're top heavy when it's slid open.

Anyone know?]]>Sep 16th 2006 9:08AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/
I have a 4GB SD card in it, no problems.

Music, GPS Maps, Software backups etc etc etc...

Nice to see Sprint releasing it with WM5.

- At VZW we had to do our own upgrade.

The i730 has a great user support network.

Sprint SHOULD be looking at the m8000 as a device to support.

Fat chance, huh?]]>Sep 19th 2006 11:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/Sep 21st 2006 9:34AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/Oct 2nd 2006 8:08AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/Oct 14th 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/
Why don't more companies offer the camera as an option? There are plenty of business people out there who can't have camera phones because of company policy!]]>Oct 24th 2006 8:19PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/

First of all its about the same size as the Treo 700wx, maybe a hair bigger. The screen is very nice when compared to the treo's. Comes with some very nice software such as the remote control option ( I was able to control my cable box and tv in about 3 minutes ). I put my OCZ 4 Gig SD card with my music on it and it accepted it no problem, I have basically created an Ipod.

Calls are clear and so far no complaints. Text messaging works great. I have Goodlink mobile messaging for email and its awesome.

I like the phone, the only thing I miss is the digital camera my Treo's have, but oh well.

Overall: I'll keep my Treo 700wx in my dresser drawer "just in case" this phone starts giving me problems, but I give it a 9 out of 10 for a smartphone.]]>Nov 10th 2006 6:17PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/Dec 7th 2006 10:12PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/

The keyboard on the ip-830w is much harder to use than the MDA keyboard. The keys are in a small, vertical space. They are small and you have to press hard. I also had trouble finding the "a" key, because the keys next to it are silver and by comparison, you can barely SEE the "a" key. And you will need both hands if you are using the keyboard... but that is true of the MDA as well, and probably the Treos.

I have the Vision plan that lets you use the internet on the phone. Sprint's Edge/EVDO is really fast. The MDA is considerably slower. I put an SDIO WiFi card in the phone, so I can easily connect to computers on my network at work.

Sprint has always given me good customer support. Perhaps it is because I've been with them for 9 years. It's true some of the support people don't know about the Samsung phone, but they will find someone who does. And the International Roaming group, which has a separate 800# is pretty well informed and helpful. I think the biggest problem is that Sprint doesn't realize more people would buy this phone, if only it were available. There was only one store in the San Francisco Bay Area where I could find this phone! Even online, it is hard to find it.

My only peeve is that (at least at this time), the GSM part of the phone is locked to Sprint's roaming partners. That means I have to carry a spare unlocked phone to Europe/Africa, for those countries that don't have roaming contracts with Sprint. I hope they will change that policy soon.]]>Jan 21st 2007 1:39AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/09/12/samsungs-ip-830w-pocket-pc-for-sprint/Dec 21st 2007 11:03PM
