Samsung i330: Yet another cool phone from Sprint



Sprint and my team has done it again with the i330, successor to the popular i300 Palm PDA handset. This cool handset complements the Handspring Treo 300.

Now with a better colour display, 3G Vision, dual-band/tri-mode, and a nice HTML browser to surf the web.

Get it today only at Sprint. Don't wait for Verizon...they won't be getting it.

Actually the camera and phone are quite rugged. For the expensive price you pay for this, it's no toy. But then again, any piece of electronics on the market, whether it's a digital camera or an iPod or a cellphone, cannot withstand customer abuse.

Sprint has an excellent method of emailing and sending pictures to your account wallet or other phones or to any email address in the world. The Sanyo 5300 is the best example. You should check it out...cause it rivals that of our Korean neighbors.

I have the I300 and I've dropped it a ton of times. Not a problem yet.

The T720 has enough shit on the phone for me. I'll just stick to getting good service with Verizon.

I do hate the volume on the new phones and the battery life sucks too.

I like my Good Old Startac 7868W that phone is the best. I might be going back to that.

Really... the new phone is that bad huh? I was thinking about trading up from my Startac 7868w to the T720. Do you think the extended battery pack would solve the problem on the new phone?

I have no idea, when I get back to NY tomorrow I'm going to the Westchester to speak to someone at verizon.

I use on avg. between 1.5-2 hours a day of talk time. And this battery doesn't support that long, it might say it but it doesn't.

If they don't have something that is at least twice as strong as this battery, I'm going to just go back to the startac.

That's actually where I went one day at lunch... the guy said that the extended battery pretty much doubles the standard pack... and it costs around $60 or so.

I don't use the phone as much as you do. Honestly... I'm on stand-by most of the day and I charge it every night anyway. My talk time is probably around 15-20 min. daily average. 30-40 min. at the most....
