- I actually found the keyboard more than usable. The keys are well placed and have good tactile feel, and I don't have small hands...
IE renders quite faster than the Treo 700Wx and the Launcher on the Today screen replaces the Start button quite well. I'm not enamored with the phone in any way shape or form, but I can say that there is a good reason why there are a number of loyal followers.
That said, Palm's UI tweaks do make the Treo the one to beat....10-10-2006 01:30 AMLike 0 - That's weird. What in the world are you doing to it when you're talking? How are you holding it?
I've never read about anyone having this type of problem with it.
Bluetooth voice dialing is nice as well.10-16-2006 03:13 AMLike 0 -

If you've never used a slider before, it does take some getting used to. However, this is the first smartphone I've had where I feel that I can go without a case. It's that solidly built (even with the slider mechanism). All I need with it is a pouch to carry it with me since my pockets are always full.

I also have big hands but skinny fingers...I have piano fingers or hands. Now, if you have soup can fingers...that could be a problem.10-16-2006 03:37 AMLike 0

When you have a bluetooth headset paired with the IP-830W, changing the volume on the IP-830W also works for the headset! I had my Discovery 655 on max volume using its own volume buttons. Then I highered the volume on my IP-830W and the volume went even higher on my 655.
Also, I bought the i730 cradle from Verizon's website. It works perfectly with the Sprint IP-830W. I must say, this cradle is the sexiest cradle I have ever seen for a PDA. :p10-25-2006 04:17 AMLike 0 - Congrats on the new gig Big Tone...:thumbsup: When you get it...keep us posted and give us your opinion on the device.10-29-2006 02:53 AMLike 0

- Thanks. :) I'll be sure to keep you posted on the phone when I get it. I'm really excited. My only regret is I didn't spend as much time researching the 700p as I am the i830w, otherwise I wouldn't have bought the 700p! If I can get about $400 for my phone with accessories I might go ahead and sell it now. I want this phone BAD!:o10-29-2006 03:32 PMLike 0
- The SCH-i830 has been available from Verizon since last March. It is essentially the same phone as the i730 but the i730's wi-fi is traded for the i830's GSM radio. There are also a couple of minor software additions on the i830 (like the world time utility), but in general, they're nearly the same phone.10-29-2006 07:06 PMLike 0
- I called verizon last week to just "inquire" about this phone and they have been hounding me to sell it to me, not only did I get a phone call but I got a follow letter in the mail asking me to call them to resolve the phone inquiry matter. maybe I can haggle them for a low price. lol11-04-2006 02:34 PMLike 0

But, I still need to know if you can access Blackberry Enterprise Server with it? My guess is no, I was just wondering.11-04-2006 04:39 PMLike 0 - Are there any Sprint i830w users that have tried the Palm Messaging app yet?
I'm curious to find out if the mms support in the Palm Messaging works on this device.
(Warning: if you plan to install the beta version of the Palm Messaging app from ppcgeeks.com do not perform the manual steps of copying over the rom files to \Windows since they are only for pre-AKU2.3 devices. Just run the cab, soft reset and you are done).11-15-2006 07:04 AMLike 0
