Samsung SCH-i830 Pocket PC phone comes to USA by the end of the year
November 09, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
Since European smartphone market is dominated by Nokia and their puppet Symbian, it looks like Samsung is too scared to enter it seriously: the Samsung i750 Pocket PC phone - for GSM - that should land in Europe already long time ago - never managed to appear in Europe (there are some rumors that Samsung i750 will come to T-Mobile UK, but it's totally different fairytale)...
On the other hand in USA situation is drastically different: Samsung is pushing full ahead...
... and just announced that after very successful Samsung i730 (for CDMA EVDO networks) yet another Pocket PC phone will be released: Samsung SCH-i830. Wi-Fi that is built-in in i730, will be replaced by GSM in i830. In other words: if you already have flat rate mobile Internet over CDMA EVDO (speeds up to 1 megabit/second!) then you clearly don't need Wi-Fi but if you are traveling to countries that use GSM (whole Europe, majority of Asia, etc), then i830 brings support for GSM900 and GSM1800 bands and thus full international roaming capability. Of course Samsung i830 also supports CDMA EVDO fully.
