Brighthand Reviews Samsung's i760
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 AM
"Once you get to look at it for a little while, you start to realize that the i760 isn't nearly as visually unappealing as it seems in photos. To see most of the promotional images, you'd have to think that the device was darn ugly. And while it's not on the level of Samsung's i607 and i780 models in terms of looks, it does come off much better in person. Not super slick, but businesslike...I have to admit, the i760 really surprised me. I was expecting it to be an unremarkable copy-cat slider model, with an unattractive design and nothing to really distinguish it from the rest of the pack. What I got instead was an impressively robust device with excellent communications and a design that, while not the sexiest thing, is well built and very usable."
Adama Brown, known as ADBrown on our forums, gives the i760 a concise, technical review (i.e., for veteran Pocket PC readers) and comes off as liking the device very much. While the photo above doesn't do Adama's argument justice, I personally am intrigued -- I'm a fan of the front dialpad, and will have to check this out the next time I walk past a Verizon store.
