Expensive!!!:eek:

Samsung i830w on Sprint site

[Big Tone]

I just saw it, too! Wow, that's pricey. Well, I start a new job a week from tomorrow with a nice pay raise. Maybe this will be a nice gift for myself in about a month or so. I still need to do a side-by-side comparison with the wx to be sure this is the phone I want. Not having a camera is somewhat of an issue for me.

If you give it time Big Tone the price will drop anyways.:thumbsup: They got to bleed all the suckers first.

After Jan. 1, maybe? I may end up waiting myself until after Jan. 1 for the phones I want.

True. But, I'm quickly turning into one of those suckers. Phones are like crack to me!

Holly Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!! A crack habit would be cheaper.

That would be "phones" :D, LOL!

Yes, although that could be wishful thinking since Nokia is taking so long to officially release the N73 in the US. I can get it from an importer, but when you can buy directly from the manufacturer, I think that's better.

I also suspect we'll be waiting for the US 3G N75, that one is great!!

I just left out of a Sprint store and it wasn't on the shelf. one of the reps claimed it wasn't going to be offered in the retail stores, web only. I seriously doubt that's true though. It's not like they're very reliable for giving out reliable information anyway. It seems like the only smart and informed Sprint employees are on this site!

[IsLNdbOi]

Yeah, just got back from my Sprint store and they say they don't know when they'll be getting it in.

[porcaccio]

Well, I for one may be the sucker.... I just ordered mine from Sprint. No $750 from me, though....

So how much did you actually pay?

The lowest retentions will give it to me is $680 (includes tax and shipping).

So does anyone know for sure how much program / application execution memory this thing has? Does it at least have as much as the 700 WX?

[porcaccio]

You guys realize that this phone has a camera, too, right? Both the specs and the pictures show that it does.

[porcaccio]

I saw the N73 in a Nokia store in Vegas yesterday. I think it is out now..

The phone does not have a camera. The website is incorrect. There is no mention of a camera in the user guide.

If this thing has a camera then I'm buying it! I just saw on the site that it has a 1.3 megapixel camera! :eek:

[IsLNdbOi]

Well I called retentions today and the lowest they would give it to me was $599.99. I took their offer. I'll try the 830W for a little bit (get 30 days to try it). If I return the 700WX, I only spent $50.00 more for the 830W.

So this IP-830W has Windows Mobile 5.2. What bluetooth version does it have?


The camera is pictured here:

Quick question. How does the Ram setup compare to that of the Treo 700wx? Should I expect the same performance from both phones?

[IsLNdbOi]

I've been asking the same question here and on other forums. No one knows or has bothered to reply.

If both phones have the same performance...I would go with Samsung if I was in the market for another device. I have had Samsung devices before and like the durability their products offer. Look at the construction and design of the casing from the back to the front...solid. I probably wouldn't have to worry about my earbud jack going bad in a couple of weeks on this device like my Treo's did.

[Big Tone]

MAN I wish I hadn't bought this 700p. I'm starting to get accustomed to it now, but I'd rather have the 830. I am going to check and see if I extend my wife's contract with the purchase of this phone, will they let me swap phones and give her the 700p with me taking the 830. Does anyone know if that is an option?

[porcaccio]

That's pretty much how I did it for my account. I was able to get it for $500 with a little negotiation.

[IsLNdbOi]

That's pretty much what I did as well. The lowest they would go for me though was $599 because I've only been a Sprint customer for 11 months. I agreed to extend my SERO contract for 2 addirional years to get my price.

[Big Tone]

I am intrigued. Can anyone confirm that this phone has a camera? The info page says it does, but I don't see where it could be. Others claim that's a misprint on the info page. I'm so confused!
