Verizon to get Samsung's SCH-i830 Pocket PC Phone
Looks like Verizon Wireless is going to get first crack at the SCH-i830, Samsung's latest Windows Mobile-powered Pocket PC Phone. You may have noticed that the i830 bears a strong resemblance to the i730 (formerly one of the obscure objects of desire) and the phones, while very similar, have some crucial differences. They both have a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, a 240x320 LCD touchscreen, and an SD expansion card slot, but the i830 adds support for both CDMA and GSM cellular networks (which means you can use it overseas) while subtracting the i730's built-in WiFi, digital camera, and EV-DO compatiblity (yeah, we know…). There's always a compromise.
