Verizon launches the Samsung i730 Pocket PC phone
Watch out SMT5600, there's a new drool-worthy smartphone on the block. If I didn't already have and love my Dell Axim x50v (and I hadn't just gotten a new Verizon contract), I'd be all over this phone. It's a very capable Pocket PC with 64MB RAM/128MB ROM, 527 Mhz, 240x320 screen, slide-out keyboard, EVDO support, and even WiFi! Bundle all that with an unlimited data plan, and you'll be one productive road warrior.

Is it really a fair comparison to compare the SMT5600 and the i730 given that the first is a GSM phone and the 2nd is CDMA?
Verizon unfortunately has a notorious history of selling phones that are often months or years behind those offered by GSM carriers. I would love to own an SMT5600, unfortunately the best Verizon offers is a i600 which caused me some problems that you can read about <a href="http://ihatelinux.blogspot.com/2005/05/i600-smartphone-experience.html">here</a>. - Anonymous

I think it's a fair comparison for most end-users (GSM vs. CDMA). I don't care which brand or type of engine is in my car - just that it gets me from point A to point B in style. I won't go into my whole soapbox rant about the wireless industry and my personal opinions of some of the decisions the carriers make, but suffice it to say that I feel your pain :) - Anonymous
