Samsung's new i730, the m8000 to use WiBro?
posted Oct 30th 2005 2:00PM
You know how we keep saying we hope Samsung will release more versions of the i730 in the future? Well, looks like someone up there likes us, since apparently their i730's getting an upgraded name (the m8000) and WiBro (Samsung's own wireless broadband standard whose technology has been somewhat integrated into the working WiMax standard). We're assuming that means they're releasing it domestically, as to the best of our knowledge the i730 was a US-only release to date; but this marks the first cellphone we know if that has integrated long-rante non-cellular wireless data. The first of many, many more to come, that is. The m8000 also looks like it rocks a second camera for video conferencing (or first, depending on whether you have the proper rear camera), but we can't confirm (or deny) anything at this time.
Why Bro?
This would of course go great with their music service.
Sligtly off the topic but that picture may become a thing of the past due to this...

WHy would they name their phone after a Motorola / Nextel joint that already exists?
i dont believe it
the picture is wm 2003 se
why would samsung create the phone with 2003 when they are going to be offering a wm 2005 for the i730 relatively soon and this phone is still in development?
Why not WiSis? Sexist assholes. (please note the sarcasm)
This will go down a treat in NZ
Anyone had problems with other people not being able to hear you. Everything on this phone works reat, but the softness of my voice that others hear. I cannot have a good interactive conversation with people because they cannot hear me, and I cannot even interrupt them normally. This is the third i730 I have had and all with the same problem.
Help!
