Samsung SCH-i760

Phone description

With its compact dual keypad slider design the Samsung i760 sports a host of features that is sure to get the attention of many current and potential Verizon wireless customers. Although the i760 offers a relatively weak 1.3 megapixel camera it makes up for it by including a slide out QWERTstyle keypad, Wifi, stereo Bluetooth, touch screen (stylus required), and EVDO data speeds making the i760 the most powerful smartphone offered by Verizon to date (scheduled for release Sept 24th).

At long last: VZW Samsung i760 on sale October 19th

At long last: VZW Samsung i760 on sale October 19th
Verizon Wireless just sent over a press release announcing the long-awaited release of the Samsung i760 smartphone.  Actually, I don't know if folks are still "awaiting" this one or not, as it was first shown last winter on the trade show circuit. The i760 is a touchscreen device with a horizontal-slider QWERTY board and a front-mounted dialing keypad.  It's a look that folks seem to either be intrigued or flat-out turned off by.  Along with the dual keypads, the 760 will...

Samsung i760 coming to Verizon Sept 24th?

Samsung i760 coming to Verizon Sept 24th?
Yes it’s true; Verizon is finally making the Samsung i760 officially available at the end of this month. The long awaited Windows Mobile 6 with its slide out QWERTY keypad is the most powerful smart-phone Verizon will offer to date. According to BGR you can get your hands on the i760 by simply calling customer service and offering them the SKU SCHi760ZKV and they will ship you one before the official release, but unfortunately this is not true. After talking with a very helpful...

Bulky, Slow, Over-Priced, Fragile Poor Service,

Experience: 6 Months
Pros: touch screen, numbers on front

Cons: Bulky, Slow, Over-Priced, Fragile Poor Service,

Summary: 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; phone has broken twice in 6 months (1 LCD going blank white - no physical damage but samsung still charged 100 dollars for) and another hardware burn out (repaired under warranty after samsung had the phone for 1 full month).

Great Phone

Experience: 6 Days
Pros: Single handed use on everything. To close a program just press the "end call" button. To make a call any where just press the "call" button. To open a program press the start button or hold it and talk to the phone. The voice recognition works right away. There was no train needed.
I very rarely use the styles. There is no need to.
The double keypad works will. Its like having a numeric keypad. When using the keyboard. Instead of changing it to numeric just the front keypad with the thum

Cons: Would of liked a higher resolution camera, but do not use it to worry about it. The slide out keyboard is a little to easy to slide out. When removing from my sideways holster. If it was harder there be complaints about it also, tho.

Summary: For the price it a very good smart phone. With the combination of Bluetooth Stereo, Wi-Fi, and qwerty keyboard.

Very Good Phone/PDA

Overall Rating:

Experience: 14 Days
Pros: Double keyboard...closed version all general uses are available one handed. Screen is very bright. Long battery life.

Cons: Slider seems easy to activate but I came from a XV6700...no comparison!!!! No SEIDIO cases yet!!!

Summary: Overall the best PDA I've owned!!! Its faster smarter, smaller and easy to use. I usually am an internet/phone user so my activities are limited but the little device does exactly what I need. The battery life on the extended battery keeps me happy for days not just hours. No need for a car charger yet and when I do I'll order another extended battery. Good Job SAMSUNG.

Best yet

From: Westport, CT (United States)
Experience: 1 Weeks
Pros: 1. Stylus may be used, but thumb has easy access to everything. Huge advantage when only one hand available.

2. Other reviewer here seems to think the redundant keypad is a negative. Too bad he doesn't get the intent. It is an ingenious advantage. You just dial it and the phone is instantly activated. No stylus needed at all for making calls.

3.Other reviewer also complained about not being able to drive or walk with it. That's pretty much all I do - through Bluetooth headphone or

Cons: 1. USB cord does not charge the battery (Audiovox models do).

2. Curiously small RAM as with all other similar devices. Don't get why they give us less than 60M when 2Gig can be made so small. Most 3rd party programs require use of RAM to run so we can't put more than a couple of them on the machine (unless I'm missing something).

Summary: I have already recommended the device to two good friends.

Not all that

By: Ron Henderson on Thursday, November 08, 2007
From: Minneapolis, MN (United States)
Experience: 3 Days
Pros: Great for e-mail, text and web.

Cons: Tough to use as a phone.

Summary: The slide out key pad works great for banging out e-mail and text messages. The horizontal orientation is also good for the web browser. Unfortunatley, the device is lacking in it's primary use as a phone. You have to push at least two buttons to get into phone mode, and then navigate from there. The on screen phone pad is redundant with the built in unit as well. During several calls, the touch screen became active and opened up several applications which when open, prevent you from using the phone funtions. You have to use the stylus for almost all onscreen functions, which is also a pain if you are just trying to make a call. Forget about using this thing if you are driving (or walking). I will be returning this for either a Blackberry pearl, or the Voyager (when it comes out).

Re: Samsung SCH- i760

I am definately a big fan of the slider style full keypads. It just makes editing documents so much easier. I think the phone would look better if it were on. It has potential event though I'm not
