Sprint to Release Samsung IP-830w World Pocket PC Phone?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "THOUGHT" @ 07:00 AM
"Does the model number vaguely ring a bell? Sure enough, this seems to be a Sprint-specific version of the Samsung i830 Pocket PC slider, packing both CDMA and GSM radios for globetrottin' goodness. True, Verizon's had the predecessor i730 for a good while now, but at least the i830 will come out of the gate with Windows Mobile 5 plus AKU2, and of course, that GSM support is going to be music to the ears of many a traveling businessman."
Engadget Mobile's found the Sprint factsheet (PDF) on the IP-830w, a version of Samsung's CDMA+GSM Pocket PC Phone, this time with WM5. This unit shares the same formfactor as the i730, which while featuring a cramped keyboard is otherwise solid and remains popular with users. However, I'd expect that, like Verizon, this will be way overpriced and targeted strictly to executives. :?
