4WinMobile Reviews the Fujitsu-Siemens T830
"One of the more interesting and unique devices to hit the market is the Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX T830, which appears to be designed on JOAT (Jack Of All Trades) principles, offering the best of all worlds, instant communication, speed, and connectivity. Have FSC designed a machine which can achieve those goals and hit a top position in the market? Read on to find out."
4WinMobile does a superb job in covering nearly all the aspects of the newly launched FSC T830 (the first retail units were shipped about three weeks ago). All I can say is...I've got a sad case of gadget envy here! About my only beef with this device is the square screen and the reported poor quality of the camera, but everything else seems top-notch. If you're looking for an all-in-one device that can compete with the Hermes and Trinity, this is a great candidate.

Also keep in mind that it is not a quad-band phone (no 850 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE). Nor does it support US 3G bands -- it's 2100 MHz only!
Perhaps a perfect phone for Europe, but another non-starter for the US

I would say it's a perfect phone for use outside of US and Japan rather.
BTW, a critique of the review was posted on firstloox.org, that contains some error corrections.

Disappointing to see that the screen's "black border" is still present. Reasonable device, otherwise.
