Why? It's an attractive, powerful and expandable second generation Pocket PC phone. It has a lovely transflective display, a VGA camera, runs at 300 MHz and supports SDIO, making it a competent PDA. It comes with a complete bundle of accessories, including a well-made case, stereo headset-mic, cradle and both a regular and extended battery. The wireless radio is a winner, getting a strong signal, offering good voice quality and fast data speeds on Verizon's Express Network. The unit runs the Pocket PC 2002 Phone Edition OS, and Samsung and Verizon have been promising an upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition for some time. Hopefully we'll see that upgrade soon!"<br /><br />PDA Buyer's Guide has posted an excellent, in-depth review of the ever so slightly venerable but still quite relevant Samsung i700. They go over every inch of the unit, explore every nook and cranny, and provide benchmarks and photos galore. Check it out!
