The SCH-i600 is a dual-band PDA/phone with support for 800-MHz and 1,900-MHz CDMA; it's only the second Smartphone to hit the market and the first to run on CDMA. It's a bit larger, and at 5 ounces with the standard battery, heavier than the 4.2-ounce Motorola MPx200, but if you need CDMA's superior coverage, you won't mind carrying the extra ounce or so..."<br /><br />Overall, a positive review - 4/5 points. Quite good! He didn't go into the usability of the unit though - the review is mostly regurgitated press release specifications. Anyone seen a really good review written by someone who has one of the units? We requested a review unit from Samsung a while back, but it appears we're not a big enough "fish" yet. :wink:
