DobieG Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Any fellow LOC members use the Samsung i700? I'm looking to purchase a cell phone/pda combo. I use Verizon coverage and would like any input from other i700 users (pros & cons). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Here you go for some good advice , it was reveiwed in 2003 though http://cnet.search.com/search?chkpt=astg.c...g+i700&tag=srch With the new Samsung i700, Verizon Wireless finally offers a Pocket PC-based smart phone worthy of the company's high-speed 1xRTT voice and data network. Its size, shape, and high-end features make it something of a thoroughbred, especially compared to other Pocket PCs. All of that comes at price, however: $599.99, and only with a two-year contract. Upside: To its credit, the i700 fills the middle ground between earlier Pocket PC phones and the current crop of devices. Thanks to its bevels, rounded corners, and silver color, this 6.9-ounce smart phone exudes some style. It has a sizable 240x320-pixel, 65,000-color, VGA-quality touch screen and an SD memory expansion slot, as well as a 300MHz Intel XScale processor, 64MB of RAM, and a built-in camera. It can also take advantage of Verizon's wireless Web and e-mail services using the company's Express network. Downside: Unlike the Treo or G1000, the i700 lacks a minikeyboard and depends solely on a stylus and soft keys for input. With no cover or clamshell to protect the display, it begs to be handled with care. While the phone works on CDMA 800/1900 networks, there's no analog roaming. Outlook: Despite its flaws, the i700 has the features and specs to become a pacesetter, especially when you consider Verizon's fairly limited smart phone selection. That said, it won't find a market among everyday cell phone users, for whom it will be too data-oriented, too delicate, and too expensive.
