Verizon Wireless Announces New Data Plans, i730
Posted by Janak Parekh in "NEWS" @ 11:00 AM
"...this summer when Verizon Wireless offers Samsung’s new SCH-i730, featuring Microsoft’s Windows MobileTM Pocket PC 2nd Edition software. Working on the go is a breeze with features such as built-in support for EV-DO and Bluetooth® for quick wireless access to the Internet. Additionally, the i730 integrates an SDI/O expansion slot for memory expansion and additional productivity applications that can be easily loaded to the device."
Verizon had a new PR about data plans; while the news on the data plans was mixed (1xRTT for laptops cut $20, 1xEV-DO for laptops remains the same, PDA pricing remains the same despite how the PR reads), they at least confirmed the i730's imminent release this summer. I hope summer means June 21, not September 20. ;) I'm also hopeful that they'll include the DUN profile for BT, seeing as how they're prominently advertising Bluetooth in the blurb. Alas, no mention of WM5; while Verizon Wireless has been pretty good about upgrades on their earlier Samsung units, it typically takes them a long time to push it out.
