I'm a current Palm 5x user and Sprint customer who's ready to buy a smartphone.

Was about to buy a Treo until I saw the new Samsung i330 and then, stumbled onto the anticipated Samsumg SPHi500. I'm a realtor in Los Angeles and drive around alot making phone calls. I'm used to one handed dialing with my current Qualcomm phone and think that the more phone-like SPHi500 would be a better match. Anyone have info on this new Samsumg phone?

i500 will not be availlible for usage until late summer2003 . sprintpcs has not even recieved proto types for this unit yet.(i am a part time techfor spcs) currently i use the i300 and it is a much better value than the i330. difference is the vision capability( which is sprints biggest joke to date and just pure crap plus nothing but profit just for jpeg files) and 16 mb vrs 8mb of memory. if you can deal with the "brick" design then go for the i300. also right now the i300 is only $149-249 (depending on wher you shop) vrs 499-699 for the i330. not worth the extra bucks.
ps i500 price will be about $799 for the fisrt 12 months then will fall like a brick somewhat like the tp3000 did(about 39 bucks)

stay away from any treo in any model number. filps have been breaking,. batteries exploding and major programming errors with the internal memmory. these things are junk and unless they start to do a 180 in quality, i will not reccomend these to even my worst enemy!
