1. Best Phone around
14 Sep 2009 by Peter T
90%9out of 10
I have had the phone since it was released for sale by Verizon, Oct 2007. Had to have it replaced once due to no data connectivity and once because the screen was damaged. Both cases Verizon took immediate care of the problems under extended warranty.
First and foremost the 12 buttons on the front make it easy to make phone calls by dialing the number without looking, since they are raised and large enough to use with big fingers. Secondly the buttons light up.
for night time use.
Use portable Garmin GPS unit when GPS is needed, Blue tooth connected.
Wish another phone would come out with the same keyboard design with Win Mobile 6.5 or I will just have to upgrade the OS and wait.
Upgraded from Windows Mobile 6.0 to 6.1, fairly easy process, waiting for the 6.5 upgrade.
easy to use as a phone
WiFi connectivity
BlueTooth
Verizon
Windows Mobile and all of it's features and flexibility
One handed operation
Great touch screen
Head phone jackReboot needed weekly
Short battery life under heavy usage
Needs more RAM
No built in GPS

2. It hurts soo good

I've had this phone since the day it's come out. I have replaced it once and am trying to a second time due to problems. The first reason for replacement was the phone kept crashing on me ( freezing up and having to remove battery to restart ). It's a fun phone and I like it more than most the other phones they have to offer. I enjoy the phone overall, but now I'm having problems with the alarms on the phone. The alarms seem to not go off or go off at random times during the day. For example my alarm is set to go off at 10am and 10pm. Last night it didn't go off, this morning it did go off but at 12:02.
Quite a few but no one cares. People want to know If they shouldn't buy the phone, not if they should.Horrible memory leaks causing the phone to get very laggy and having to restart it all the time.
I've had problems with the alarms not going off.
Mine had issues crashing.
This phone is nice, but if you see another phone you like just as much I would say go for the other. I like the phone but would be happier with another one if Verizon would purchase and release ones worth buying.

5. simply great phone

This phone is abosolutely great. I read the reviews on phonearena and other reader reviews right here and then finally decided to get it. It is very good, put the 6.1 windows upgrade on it the same day I had it. The great thing is the abundance, and I mean hundreds and hundreds of programs you can get for free or pay for the windows. So many great programs that transform the UI into even a better phone. People have complained of the camera, its BS, the camera is pretty good for a phone , and most importanly is the keyboard. The addition of the keyboard maekes this phone perfect.
you have to also know what programs to add. Add something like skyfire, the new brower, and this thing kicks ass, obv. google, and games and UI and SBP stuff should all be considered.
The only small drawback is the sensitive outer skin, if you have this phone or are going to get it, def. get it a skin to protect the exterior from scratches.

6. And the winner is....

After buying multiple Verizon smartphone devices, the Samsung i760 was my final, and undisputed decision. The phone was considerably more durable than the other devices I used, and the slide out qwerty keyboard was sturdy, ergonomical, and backlit. The Windows Mobile was nothing fancy so I equiped SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 which transformed this device into the envy of all my friends and the best and most accessable interface I have ever used. The internet is lightning fast and only further helps this device replace my Palm and Laptop. Samsung got it almost perfect. My only complaint is that the incoming calls sound a bit "tinny and echo-ish" but with a phone like this, you use Bluetooth mostly anyway.

7. AWESOME!

This phone is awesome, first PDA and im glad i made chose it. Just like any other phone, it has its good and bad. Let's start with the
Cons:
Heavy, bulky, not enough memory capacity (but i have a solution for that, it freezes up quite a bit, camera is a bit weak, but then again...it's a phone, if u want to take pictures dont forget a real camera.
Pros: Very customizable, call quality is great, qwerty kb is awesome. some ppl say that they tend to hit the send key as they txt, but i have never had that issue...maybe they have sausage fingers? Back to the pros...external keypad makes this phone that much better, WM6, spb plus is BADA$$!!! it totally gives the phone a better functionality especially with the IE, i love it.
There is also a free browser out there that i highly recommend that enables your phone to view the sites as you would with your regular desktop. Youtube can be viewed completely, not the wack mobile version. the browser is SKYFIRE. and about the weak memory capacity, here is the solution http://rapidshare.com/files/72977206/SDHC.zip. get this and it will expand it to at least 4gb. HAVE FUN!

8. Let's hear it for SPB Pocket Plus

Thanks to the previous poster for recommendiing this killer PDA phone app!!
I hav been tweaking it since I downloaded it last week. I love the functionality I now have, and I loved this phone even before I read post #19.
I have had a Treo 600,650,700p, and both the Moto Q Black and q9m. This is my fave out of all of them. I especially love the nav wheel on the right side (just like a mouse).
My only regret (besides battery life) is that ol' Bill didin't include this functionality in WM6.
Need a great phone, and a killer PDA? Look no further!

9. i760 + SPB = Perfect Combo
4 May 2008 by Rob
78%7.8out of 10
Let me preface by saying my last phone was a Moto Q (a phone great in its own right, and also allows me to fully recognize why this phone is revolutionary).
This phone is great by itself. I played around with it for a couple of weeks with the basic features and soon found myself bored, though. After reading tons of positive reviews on PocketPlus I decided to give it a shot. Best $xx I've ever spent. Now I can do just about anything I want to do from the main screen in seconds. Its hard to describe why this phone is so great because its only great to me because of my customizations. Should you buy this phone, try out SPB PocketPlus and REALLY customize it; I spent about 8 hours in total playing around with every feature it had to offer and finally got it just right for me. It also gave me some time to get accustomed to the phone.
Cons: 1) The QWERTY keyboard is a little to close to the side buttons so when you're typing on the top row you're prone to a) adjust volume, b) go to the call screen. 2) A bit bulky, but I'd rather have bulk than less features. 3) Can't sync to Hotmail through email program.
Pros: 1) Great battery life IMO (at least 36 hours with phone/email/web/music) if you adjust your settings right. 2) Nice, big screen. 3) Front phone buttons. 4) Excellent EV-DO speeds for surfing net. 5) Very customizable. 6) Windows Office Mobile Pre-Installed.
