Software review : Samsung i300 smartphone October 29, 2005 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Samsung i300 has no Windows Mobile 5.0 so don't buy it! Samsung i300 has no Wi-Fi, so don't buy it! Author of this review obviously not only is biased because he is (undeservedly) a Microsoft MVP but also because it looks like he was bribed: he is blind to the obvious limitiation of this phone. Samsung has done only one thing right in i300 smartphone: it supports Bluetooth A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) - or in other words: you can listen to music over Bluetooth in stereo! 
Copying files to and from the device in the Mass Storage mode works the same like you copy files from and to your harddisks and thanks to the USB 2.0 support, this works as fast as you expect to work it. You can even access and open files from the harddisk itself. No reason to copy it to the PC first and therefore the i300 can replace your USB memory stick. This would work even handier, if the i300 would use a standard mini USB connector instead of the propriety Samsung USB connector because this means you have to carry the USB cable with you if you want to use the USB feature. You can not take any USB to mini USB cable you might have in the office or around you, which is clearly a weakness. To read the review click here. This review is not clear enough in saying "no Windows Mobile 5.0, so don't buy it" ... but it contains 53 screen shots, so if you will ignore overly optimistic text, you can enjoy it! Just because somebody received yet unreleased unit for review doesn't mean, that this somebody should uncritically review the unit and recommend it, even if it is against interests of most users...
