Samsung SCH-i760
It shows that Verizon Wireless’ Samsung SCH-i760 has devoted so much to its design, with its full QWERTY keyboard and external dial pad as good indicators of innovation. However, it doesn’t show that features have been compromised, as it even became one of the most sought smartphones among business users. Samsung SCH-i760 isn’t thin as compared to Samsung BlackJack; its dimensions measure 4.4 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches, similar the size of other Pocket PC phones. It weighs 5.2 ounces and appears bulky. It just shows that this smartphone is highly recommended for business people.
Samsung SCH-i760′s 2.8 inch-touch screen provides an easy way to launch applications, input data and navigate menus. The screen displays 65, 536 colors and has a 320×240 pixel resolution. The microSD expansion slot and volume controls are found in the left side of the phone. The voice recorder launcher, OK button, camera activation key and 2.5 mm headset jack are found in the right side. The camera lens and the flash are found in the back of the handset. It features two input devices: an alphanumeric dial pad or keypad and a separate easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard. The keypad also includes a clear (C) button and a four-way navigation with select button.
The QWERTY can be slid from the right of the front cover. This sliding feature smoothly changes the screen from portrait to landscape. The keys are sufficiently-spaced but are quite slippery. Samsung SCH-i760 runs under the operating system, Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition. It includes the Microsoft Office Mobile Suite that enables users to create, view and edit Excel and Word documents. Power Point presentations can also be viewed with minor edits. Other important business applications include calendar, notepad, e-mail, clock, calculator and a task manager. Additional applications can also be installed.
Messaging is also at breeze with Samsung SCH-i760 especially with the Direct Push Technology of Miscrosoft that helps real time e-mail delivery via synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server and Outlook. It also has support with Good Mobile Messaging and Verizon Wireless Sync. It sad to say however, that instant messaging aficionados will find out that Windows Live Messenger is not included in the smartphone. Among its phone features are voice dialing, speakerphone, smart dialing, three way calling and text and multimedia messaging.
Wireless options in Samsung SCH-i760 include Bluetooth 2.0 for wireless headsets, wireless file transfers, dial-up networking and hands-free kits. It also has an integrated WiFi for easier web surfing. It is also EV-DO capable for smoother media straming and downloading of games. Although its 3G capabilities don’t include music and video services, users can still play music and video files using Windows Media Player 10.
