Samsung i730: Finalist In CNET's "Next Big Thing" From CES
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 AM
"We came, we saw, we liked. Samsung has packed the i730 with so many goodies that we don't know where to start. How about the slick slider design that opens to reveal a QWERTY keyboard? This Windows Mobile 2003 smart phone also rocks a 65,000-color, 2.8-inch display; 128MB of flash memory; 64MB of SDRAM; and integrated Bluetooth. Operating on a CDMA (800/1,900MHz) network, the i730 supports EVDO for faster download speeds."
I've got to agree with CNET; the i730 is mighty impressive-looking. And even though the picture on the linked page makes the device look big, I think it's distorted; watch the video on the side as Brian Cooley handles the device, and I think you'll agree with me that it's really quite compact. (Incidentally, you can see all of the CNET "Next Big Thing" finalists and their overall winner here.)
