Samsung SCH-i760 Reviews

11. Very Happy with my i760

Thanks for the past reviews of this phone. My use is typical business with outlook, SMS and MMS along usual phone calls and web usage. EVDO is great. Verizon does have the best network from Alabama to Hawaii, great coverage and EVDO just about everywhere.

The only real draw back for me is that in the dark the power on button on the top is hard to find. If it had something like a nub or bump on it that would help. The green send key can get tapped while texting. D button works great and the slider is strong and stable.

I see some complaints about WM6 but for my typical usage it is very good and beats other OS's as far as I am concerned.

If you are on it a lot through the day keep your charger or back up battery (included n/c) nearby.

I've had a Treo 700W and BB previously and this beats both of them.
That being said, I am most comfortable with a touch screen, WM6 and a camera.

14. i760 VS 6800

20 Dec 2007 by Matt

84%8.4out of 10

There are two things holding me back from buying this phone over the vx6800:
1. Rev-A upgradability
2. 128mb ROM on i760 vs 256mb ROM on vx6800.

I can deal without the rev-A as on a mobile device the browsing speeds will be insignificant, but will the higher ROM make the i760 slower than the vx6800... I am confused b/c the i760 has a 400mhz processor and the vx6800 has a 380mhz... I am torn... Does anyone have some insight?

15. Good but needs to be better

30 Nov 2007 by Mobitent

64%6.4out of 10

I have had the i760 for almost two weeks. I had been using a MotoQ that had been buggy since I got it a year ago, so I was very relieved to get the i760. While much, much better than the MotoQ, I still feel like the i760 could be better (as with all smartphones in the U.S.). Few things...while all the buttons and thus ways to enter info add flexibility, it actually ends up confusing at first and then when you settle on your preferred method (touch, qwerty, numeric pad, d-pad, etc), you wish the button space you don't use could be taken up with more screen or something! I have the power-save settings on default and I barely get through the day on a full charge. Windows Mobile freezes up 2 to 3 times a week. The backlight only comes on/off by pushing the button at top of device (NOT if you select any key). When you answer a call with the green side button, the phone sometimes starts sliding out the qwerty board. I also had set my alarm to wake me up at 5:00a one day for a flight and for some reason the alarm didn't go off and when i awoke at 5:30a the date had "frozen" (believe me, this was NOT user error). I made the flight though!
It's a good touch smartphone, but the ergonomics, battery life, and of course, WM6 can all be better. And EVDO rev A and GPS would make this 1 to 2 pts higher rating!!!

16. If they just placed the buttons better

15 Nov 2007 by Peter

I have been a long time TREO user, but got fedup with how slow the processor was and the number of resets I had to do every day. I was forced to stick with windows mobil by my IT guys so I had a choice between the Q and the Samsung. I picked the Samsung - Here is the bottom line, excellent speed and Mobile 6 is a godsend. Battery life is marginal, but better than my TREO when I have my Bluetooth on. USB cable doesn't charge the phone, this is a major problem when using the phone as a modem, it kills the battery constantly sending and recieveing. The real issue is the side buttons and the main menu bottoms offset on the front face. It almost seems like it was designed for a lefty, it takes alot of concentration not to hit the end call button when your on the phone.

17. iPhone killa

96%9.6out of 10

I just got this phone yesterday and I havent been to sleep in almost 48hours. The features are mostly bacsic windows mobile features except for windows media player 10 instead of 9. The phone moves very very fast and the touch screen makes it better. The handwriting recognition is a breeze and the stylus is in a sleek unordinary spot. The batteries dont last very very long if youre on the phone alot running application but the only thing i dont like is the sync cable doesnt charge and sync at the sametime. That is the only reason i didnt give this phone a perfect 10. Its worth what they are charging for it tho. Have fun wit ur new i760!!!

18. Better Internet

I have had this phone for a few weeks now and just realized that through a Samsung only program, called Picsel Browser that comes installed, this phone has full HTML internet capablilties, in addition to internet explorer mobile. This discovery paired with the fact that the phone has great wireless internet pretty much does it for me in terms of Verizon phones.

19. Samsung Did Good

I got this phone a few days ago and had to really play around with it before i can say anything. For my first Pda I have to say im loving all the features! It has everything you need and I like the option of being able to full operate it by touch screen or via all the buttons availble on the front or from the keyboard(3 ways actually). This is also very customizable compared to the voayger and other phones becasue of the mobiel 6 software. They have some cool programs to go with it but It really depends on the person what they want out of the phone. If verzion didnt release these new set of Pda's I was about to switch to At & T but good thing they did.

20. i760 is a GREAT pda phone

30 Oct 2007 by Nathaniel

90%9out of 10

Up front, despite some minor flaws, I have fallen in love with this phone. With all due respect for others opinions, I think some have been unduly harsh and even unfair in evaluating this phone. I am with Verizon (only service where I live) so there may have been other pda phones that might have beat this one but it is the best ever for Verizon. I have always kept my pda and phone separate because one or the other always seemed to suffer in the combo. Not so here.

Pros:

Call clarity is excellent. The speakerphone is the best I have ever had. People comment on how clear I sound and I hear them like they are in the room nearly. Signal strength is same as my Razar and eNv.
The bluetooth synced up easily even though I was unsure what I was doing.
Voice command has been the best I have used yet. The phone app screen accepts my fingers just fine. Other dialing options work as well or better than other phones I have had.
The screen is just plain beautiful. Yes, I would love to have my 4" VGA screen back and I would also like to fly like Superman.
Windows Mobile 6 is the best yet. I understand people may be use to other environments, but I am a Windows only person. The speed has been incredible especially since I thought it would suffer coming from a top of the line standalone pda. Many input options.
No trouble downloading and using third party apps.
The way it locks and unlocks itself so buttons are not pushed accidentally is by far the best I have seen.
WiFi works great.
I can use the pda apps while on the phone. Great for inputting contact information and taking notes scheduling.

Cons:

Could have used double the memory though the same could be said about every pda I have ever had.
A 1.3 MP camera, how lame for a top of line machine. This is nearly 2008. 3.2 or 5.0 would have been much better.
I don't use a keyboard so I wish I could latch it solid as it does feel loose especially using the send key.
The stylus is too small so I am using one from an old pda.
Hitting the some of the buttons unintentionally but not any worse than my eNv

Bottom line: First pda phone that measures up in both areas. Do not listen to the naysayers complaining over minor flaws. This is a very powerful machine with top flight performance in the core areas that matter. I have found it very easy to use once I got use to it. (There is a lot to learn) You owe it to yourself to at least give it an honest test drive to see if it is for you.
