Samsung Ace for Sprint USA - reviewed March 11, 2008 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Samsung Ace is like "Samsung BlackJack for CDMA EVDO" so now also customers of another wireless carrier in USA - Sprint - can enjoy this form factor and, by the way, obtain also worldwide roaming capability thanks to GSM support in this phone: The Samsung is a bit smaller and lighter than the Q9 family of phones—particularly it’s narrower which feels better in smaller hands. The Q9 has a little edge on multimedia playback and seems better built with higher quality materials. The keyboard on the MOTO Q9 is still unrivaled in Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone crop, though the Ace’s keyboard is by no means bad. The Q9 has built-in GPS which the Samsung lacks; and the Q9 comes with 2 batteries while the Ace comes with only a standard battery. If you are a Sprint customer who wants a Q9c but needs a world phone, the Samsung Ace fits the bill. We’re happy to see Sprint add a Windows Mobile smartphone to their world phone-capable lineup, previously populated only with the BlackBerry 8830. A comparison between the BlackBerry and Ace comes down to your preference of Windows Mobile or the BlackBerry OS. In terms of hardware and design, these two are similar with front-facing QWERTY keyboards, color QVGA display, EVDO and overseas GSM support. The Ace adds a camera but lacks the 8830’s GPS.
