Introduction

Every generation of new devices we see adds new and improved functionality. Verizon and Samsung have just released their next generation device, the SCH-i760. Their goal was to blend phone and email functionality in a simple to use design. They have included a numeric pad on the front of the device for phone dialing and a pull out QWERTY keyboard for email typing, which is a rare form factor in the Windows Mobile world. Will this be your next phone? Read on for a compilation of the video reviews that covered this device.

Picture Highlights

In this part, I take a look at the design aspects of the Verizon Samsung SCH-i760. n this part, I touch on the lock feature, dialing with the numeric keypad and the using Microsoft's Voice Command.
In thie part, I go over using the QWERTY keyboard to type emails. This video touches on the sound quality and playing YouTube videos with the help of this WMExperts post.


Overall Impression

The Verizon Samsung SCH-i760 manual title is "SCH-i760 Series Portable Dual Mode Telephone", this description defines what Verizon and Samsung's goal was for this device. They wanted a telephone first and a PDA second. I believe they have succeeded. This is an excellent telephone with a readily available phone keypad . It is also no laggard when it comes to PDA functionality and provides a great hardware platform for Windows Mobile 6. It is definitely better than previous Windows Mobile devices I have used. The SCH- i760 is a solid performer and if you like having tactile feedback (hard buttons), this is the device for you. I found the numeric keypad to be very useful and I easily got use to the D-Pad and soft key buttons being offset to the left. Even though the look is utilitarian, the device's functionality outweighs any lack of style.
