Comments on: Rumor: Samsung SPH I330 Coming this Summer

There's another option. The source of this info is wrong. That happens sometimes.

How long would it have taken you with Graffiti to write that entire posting? I've been using Palm OS for 3+ years and always find Graffiti and the on-screen keyboard to be useful only for very short text entry. I would never write this e-mail (or yours) without some kind of physical keyboard. Is it really just me?

BTW as an i300 owner, I agree with the post regarding holding off on upgrading to this model until 3G. Data rates are just too ridiculous to surf for long periods of time at 56K or 14.4....

what's wrong with 56K, I am Cable user, but I really don't see the problem with 56K. The only advantage of Cable over 56K Phoneline connection is Cable has a more stable connection, other than that, Cable only provide you with faster download, but that not what you want on a cell. Do you wanna download a 600 MB movie file on a cellphone ??

Hopefully they will also release a version for the I330.

And so, if after years of pushing it and developing it - and its going to be another year or 2 before its fully out there - and if ITS only going to provide 56k, then dont expect them to put anything ('4G') out there that will give broadband speed for atleast 5 yrs. Dissapointing, i know - but the big boys have much more to worry about: they've got to make their money back on 3G. This isnt like wired broadband which can leverage underutilized networks, because they've already pushed the current cell networks as far as they can go.

How does the battery last?

FACT MORON: Its a color PalmOS phone (!!!) and its only Samsungs second model. The first has been out only a matter of a few months and its the FIRST AND ONLY COLOR PDA phone! Do any of you know of other Smartphones that let you browse REAL web pages (html) in full color??? no - didnt think so. God some of you people have no lives and no motivational sensibilties what-so-ever which is made obvious by the fact that you miss the point of every damn discussion and instead think that this is a chance to showcase your unwarranted, ignorant attitudes. But more then anything you demonstrate that you simply have no life.

'its just another Samsung PDA' - no, its just another juvenile idiot wasting bandwidth and oxygen.

*Post of the week*

Ever heard of marketing strategy and planned obsolesence? With each release of a phone, any company is concerned only with THEIR bottom line and, therefore, will put out ONLY what it feels is necessary to entice consumers to upgrade. Again, and again.

After all, why give us everything we want right now in a single phone, when instead, they can make a fortune off of us by dangling a new $500+ carrot in front of our stupid little noses every 6 months or so?

Don't get me wrong. I'm just another sucker that grabs up every carrot handed to me, while begging for more. I just wish we consumers could all somehow go "on strike." Maybe then we'd at least force the U.S. based cellular network to catch up to the technology already available in Japan and Europe!

However, most people would never believe that this is being done intentionally. One of the best quotes I've ever heard was something to the effect of, "Puny secrets are quite difficult to keep, however, the biggest secrets don't need to be hidden due to public incredulity."

Sept. 11th comes to mind... Really research the data, the timelines, the lies, the history with open eyes--no, don't; ignorance is probably preferable. Ever notice that dumb people, in general, are happier than intelligent people? Thinking generates questions that can result in the realization that "reality" is based upon programmed belief systems, whereas stupidity is easily programmed to believe in whatever "reality" they have been exposed. In religion they call it "Blind Faith."

WAKE UP PEOPLE. You aren't all stupid, you just need to stop believing what you hear, look at the facts instead, and then think!

Let me guess, when your flesh-and-blood significant other flashes that come-hither look, you say:

"Wow, nice features. Have you upgraded recently?"

cheers

First of all, because the Samsung device is an all-in-one solution (so its a cell phone among other things), the responsibility of creating the pricing plans goes to the carriers because it is their networks the device will be using. Second, Palm is offering an unlimited DATA plan for $35/month. So would you rather pay your regular monthly cell phone bill then have say Sprint, for example, tack on another $35 for unlimited data access? NO THANK YOU!!!! Personally, I would rather get a bigger plan with more minutes that is only going to cost me another $10-$20/month over what my normal bill would have rather than pay a data fee of $35 in additon to whatever voice plan I chose. And with the access coming out of your minutes, you can monitor your useage for the first few months and decide if you need a plan with more or less minutes than your current one instead of just always paying an additional $35/month.

For me, that answer gives me immediate feedback on wether or not to even think this through any farther (which is why I still carry and love my m505).
