Samsung SGH-i760 Reviews

Infosync does a hands-on review of the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, "So, in short, it’s an interesting form factor, and we're glad that Samsung didn't skimp on powerful features that make this a full-fledged smartphone, like the touch-screen and Wi-Fi. Still, we've seen QWERTY sliders before, even if they are a rarity from the Korean manufacturer. We'll reserve judgment until we've had more quality time with the device, but our instinct tells us that the breakaway device for the Windows Mobile smartphone crowd will be something more unique than a QWERTY slider with 12 extra keys on the front."

PC Authority reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, "You can store music, video and photos on a MicroSD card up to 2GB stuck into a recessed slot on the side of the i760. My 4GB card didn't work, but a 1GB card worked fine. Music played through Windows Media Player sounded great through wired or Bluetooth headphones (albeit with that little touch of hiss over Bluetooth), and the i760 played video in full screen mode successfully. The built-in 1.3-megapixel camera takes smooth but small 176-by-144-pixel videos and rather dim still shots."

CNET reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, "Finally, there's a 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities. There's a flash and self-timer, and you can choose from several shooting modes, quality settings, and resolutions, which range from 1,280x960 to 160x120 for still images. To enhance the picture, there are white-balance settings and various effects that you can add. These tools are also available to you in camcorder mode, though you can only choose from three quality settings. Picture quality, while not spectacular, was good. We had some difficulty steadying the device to get a clear shot, but images came out with sharpness and decent color."

PC World reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, "Because the SCH-i760 lacks a mapping tool, I downloaded Google Maps. I would have been happier, though, if the phone had come with built-in GPS so that I could get voice-guided driving or walking directions. Another ding: The SCH-i760's 1.3-megapixel camera was unimpressive, producing dull and grainy photos. Still, a not-very-good camera is better than no camera at all. I also appreciated that it can capture videos, even though the output quality was mediocre."

LaptopMag reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, "Battery life was okay, but talking with Wi-Fi on drained the standard battery in about 2 hours. We recommend using the included extended battery, which lasted much longer. Although it adds nearly an ounce to the weight, it's only slightly bulkier...If you can overlook its design flaws, the Samsung SCH-i760's best features--call quality, comfy keyboard, and Wi-Fi--make it a decent choice for road warriors."

PDAStreet reviews the Samsung SGH-i760 and writes, "On paper, the SCH-i760 triumphs over the iPhone because of its no-compromise set of specs. It offers Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), EV-DO connectivity, a slide-out keyboard, Bluetooth, a 1.3mp camera, and a microSD memory card slot...The i760 is a phone that doesn't say no, with its robust list of features. We enjoyed fast surfing and e-mail downloading in our testing, using either the EV-DO support or connecting to a home Wi-Fi network...Corporate users will appreciate the Microsoft Push e-mail support, which allows live access from a company's mail server. While some sites have said this phone has A-GPS (network assisted GPS, which relies on the cellular network for positioning), it doesn't offer GPS at all.
