Samsung Sch-i760 review
We Swore off touch screens a while back but this SCH-I760 is a real pleasure. Everything we have been getting to review recently has been really cool! I don’t know if its just in a good mood or the lack of sleep but this Samsung Windows Mobile 6 Pro with slide out keyboard is sweet.
We loaded up some of our favorite software and messed around with it for a bit but unfortunately our demo didn’t have a demo account associated with it. And seeming Verizon doesn’t use Sims we could not swap one of our many sims into it.
Don’t get me wrong we love being one of the first kids on the block with a new toy but with out service we couldn’t give it the once over – but it is running Evdo, WiFi B, G and a 1.3 mega pixel camera.The slide on the keyboard is very slick and habit forming. Be fore warned. Wifey thinks it is a little annoying :).
It retails for $350 after a $50 mail in rebate from Verizon Wireless on a NEW two year contract. We are big fans of Samsung Products and have our eye on the Juke next. [_TheTouchScreenAdmiN_

Hello Boys and Girls, It seems other companies aside from Apple are putting their thinking caps on and breaking all kinds of molds. There was a mold. Apple didn’t exactly break the mold for tablets, as shown in this nifty diagram. All they did was scale it up. An overgrown cellphone won’t last very long [...]

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t get a call from a telemarketer at least once a week if not much more. They’ll call and leave no message and annoy the heck out of you. Unfortunately, some of these calls are actually made by criminals who try to get your personal information. News articles over [...]

“…Perhaps you think your email is legitimate enough that encryption is unwarranted. If you really are a law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide, then why don’t you always send your paper mail on postcards? Why not submit to drug testing on demand? Why require a warrant for police searches of your house? Are you trying [...]

I was a hard core Netscape user before the days of FireFox and before that I was all about IE4 . (Sorry for the re-run but Kayla didn’t let us sleep this weekend!) So I have realized change is good and you live and you learn. So when I heard about Flock, I decided to [...]

I would like to monitor event logs on multiple windows machines – maybe ping them every so often? I used to use something called Emon but it seems pretty outdated. I looked at bigBrother but it seems too expensive. Do you have a solution? Have you heard of VMWare?? If you are game then keep [...]

for anyone that might come across this page, I have to completely disagree.
I've been using it for about 6 months now and overall I describe the phone as Bulky, Slow, Over-Priced, and having Fragile Poor (CUSTOMER) Service.
The core +'s are the touch screen, numbers on front, and the dual keyboard (though there are better ones out there).
The phone is really too thick for today's smart phone. The phone is slow changing between programs compared to other smart phones with Windows 6 I have used. Additionally, samsung really has not built a long term quality product here. The phone has broken twice in 6 months (1 LCD going blank white with no physical damage but samsung still charged 100 dollars for it to be fixed) and another hardware burn out (repaired under warranty after samsung had the phone for 1 full month — that's one month where i did not have a phone at all but was still paying for verizon service!).

Are you still using the Samsung phone, or have you switched?
