 My Search is Over - Trinity...the Samsung i760 is the ONE! December 21, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Ok I had mine for a couple of weeks now and probably only used 1/2 of all the cool options and features. Before buying this phone I narrowed my choices between the i760 and Verizon Voyager (LG's version of the I-phone). As a an lawyer, I had been using a Blackberry for years but what it finally came down to for me was getting the integrated Windows Mobile 6 system on the i760. My Blackberry was only capable of opening my MS Word docs (most times ) but I really needed and wanted a phone that I could use to not only read but also create and email Word and Excel docs to/from my office and clients while killing time in Court. For someone with big hands the full slide-out Querty keyboard is so intuitive and comfortable to use. I've only used the camera a couple of times but from when I did it felt like a real camera and has many of the features of one. The screen resolution is so very clear and bright. Even with my big hands I'm able to access many of the phone's menu options using the touch screen. I probably use the stylus 50% of the time. What's even cooler is the built-in Wi-Fi. I don't think i've been to a Court house or a mall where it didn't located, lock, and connect to a free wireless network. Pulling up Ebay, Yahoo and Mapquest has been nice and quick. Text Messaging: What's really cool is that when you're in the middle of sending a text msg and a new one arrives that new msg is display below the one ur working on. Very cool! There are too many other good things I can say about this phone but it would take all night and I still haven't started my xmas shopping:( Oh yeah, what's also nice is that the Amazon price of $199 is $100 below the Verizon store's price. I was also pleasantly surprised when I found they included two batteries - a standard and a extended life battery(which Verizon charges $69.00 for). As for the Verizon Voyager, the i760 wins hands down. Plus if I had went for the Voyager I really would have settled for less while at the same feeling I was carrying around a Iphone wannabe. Compared to the Voyager the i760 felt well built and solid not to mention cosmetically pleasing (it's been an eye-magnet;) Whatever complaints I may have with the phone are so few & insequential that they're not worth mentioning).

Wonderful phone for a techy December 11, 2007

This is a fantastic phone for a technical person that will treat it delicately and learn all its features.
I had an i-730, and replaced that with this unit; it does a lot more, is thinner, and much improved.
An all around excellent PDA smartphone. I would change very little!
Great PDA *and* Phone December 5, 2007

I replaced my Audiovox XV6700 PDA Phone and couldn't be happier. The XV6700 was a good PDA but a lousy phone. With the i760 I get the best of both plus a decent MP3 player and camera. I like the ergonomics with the combination of keyboard, phone number pad and the Start / OK / Call / End Call buttons. I have found it easy to adapt to and can do a lot of common actions without ever using the keyboard or touch screen. The Bluetooth and wireless work great. I don't use the keyboard a lot, but when I have found it more than adequate. All in all I am very satisfied.
Here are the things I don't like: 1. No charging through USB (what were they thinking???); 2. 2 GB limit on the micro SD card (which I've been told is a limit of WM 6); 3. I had to upgrade several of my applications to run on WM 6 (Pocket Quicken and Splashdata); 4. I initially had a problem using ActiveSync with USB (worked fine with Bluetooth). It took me a while to find out that I had to disable `Enable Advanced Network functionality' in the USB to PC setting.
Best phone I've ever owned November 30, 2007

After suffering for 15 long months with the sluggish Motorola Q, I decided to purchase Samsung's i760 at my local Verizon store. The large screen is great for viewing web pages and the QWERTY keyboard is very responsive, which comes in handy for composing those long-winded emails. Windows Mobile 6 peforms much, MUCH better on the i760 than version 5 did on the Q. Having built-in wifi is a nice feature, though I rarely use it because of my broadband data package. Images captured by the 1.3 MP camera may not win you any photography contests, but I think the overall quality is better than most similarly-equipped smartphones. Also, I used to dislike touch-screen based PDA phones, but since owning the i760 I've had to rethink that position. In summary, this phone is about as close to perfect as a Windows-based smartphone could be. There are a few minor irritations, but since they're basically nit-picky criticisms I've chosen to omit them from this review. If you want a PDA phone that can do it all, the Samsung i760 is your phone.
4.6 stars.... great phone for the correct person November 25, 2007

All right, I get to be the first to review this! I was lucky enough to be the first in this area to have this phone. It's been about 4 weeks now, living with this device. I've put up with the i-730 for almost three years, what a breath of fresh air. WM6 is great, the device is fantastic with one huge exception (Samsung, hope you read this)... The "end" button to hang up the phone is exactly your thumb rests when you naturally hold the phone with your right hand. I don't know how many times I've hung up on people so far. Please give us a software option to shut this button off. You really don't need it anyway. Otherwise, it's a great phone for people who require/want all the stuff WM6 allows you. Besides the pesky button, I love the phone. (PS, the camera really sucks, but it's a PHONE!)
