    CNET Review

    May 23, 2006

    The Good: The Samsung SCH-i830 boasts EV-DO support, Bluetooth, and a full QWERTY keyboard. As a dual-mode CDMA/GSM phone, the SCH-i830 can also be used overseas.

    The Bad: The Samsung SCH-i830 runs the older Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition OS and lacks integrated Wi-Fi. Also, it suffers from poor call quality, and there's no camera option.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SCH-i830 offers some nice features for the mobile professional, such as dual-mode functionality and a full QWERTY keyboard, but poor performance and outdated features put it behind the competition.
