Samsung SCH-i730

I am new here, and would appreciate any help.

Keep issues, and or comparsions to other PDA's-Phones.

1. Bluetooth, wireless headsets.
2. Volume
3. Battery Life, especially with the use of Data.
4, High speed Internet EVO
5. Speaker Phone
Size to fit is a pocket, and the comfort of use.
6. Remember the Hitachi G1000 for Sprint?

I am looking to go to MLB.com, and play live Baseball feeds, will this work and good?

How about the playback of TV shows?

How far is the Windows. Mobile 5.0 Technology.

I am trying to decide between a samsung i730 or a treo 650
what are the pros and cons of palm os vs pocket pc
does either one have outlook and planplus?
does either one have the ability to download email messages automatically
does either one have the ability to sync up w/ a pc
thanks

Anyone get headphones to work or is this another useful item that Verizon disabled?

I came accross an article on eWeek:

..that explains RIM's competitor GoodLink will be provided though Sprint (currently with Cingular). GoodLink's push email service is much more feature rich than RIM's and will give Blackberry a run for the money. Plus the article says they will also support their service on the Samsung i730 through Verizon's EVDO as well as over Wifi. I think this added ability of Push over Wifi is a major PLUS!

The only thing I am concerned about here is if this service will be available to consumers. Currently GoodLink only offers service to Enterprises.

According to a recent review of the 1730 on the Wall Street Journal, the battery on the i730 sucks compared to the 650. Is there any confirmation out there? This is a major deciding factor for me.

Here is the link to the review:

I have spent an enormous time with tech support people with Verizon and with Samsung regarding a persistent problem with Active Sync (version's 3.7 and 3.😎 crashing on my PC. Each time it crashes, I need to delete the program and then re-install it. I've deleted wireless synch from my handheld, added on a piece of software that is supposed to resolve reported conflicts with Symantic Antivirus Corporate Edition Version 8.0, I've determined that I don't have PC Anywhere on my computer (another potential source of trouble) and yet my Active Sync still crashes. I love my I730 phone, but since my corporate firewall will not give me access (yet) to Wireless Sync, I really need Active Synch to work. Has anyone else had similar problems? Does anyon...

😢 Could someone please help me? I have this shiny new phone and gave up a Motorola v710 for this and it's a great phone. However I'm trying to use it as a modem via blue tooth with my laptop. I've called Verizon, they don't support that because they want you to pay them and use their service. I called Samsung and they told me it could be done, but they don't support it because Verizon wants me to pay them and use their service. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank You in Advance.

I just got a new Jeep with uconnect and they are telling me that the samsung is not going to work with it. Help Please

Does anyone know where I can get simple ringtones that are not song??? If you can find some than you are better than me. I'e downloaded THOUSANDS..(Mostly from CNET) but they are all ringtones of songs. Why can't I find a nice selection of phone ring samples?

Does anyone know if Sprint has plans for a version of this phone? I would hate to give Verizon 2 more yrs if so. Thanks

I was told by a Verizon customer care person that if you use a Wifi hot spot or your home wireless network it will charge you Data minutes.

Is this true or did that person not know what they were talking about.(I hope not)

Does anyone know how to put the i730 in CDMA only mode. I do not get ED-VO in our area and I think that is causing the battery to drain fast.

Thinking about getting this phone or the Treo 650.

If I subscribe to either the $44.95 unlimted or $29.95 (10MB) plan, how long do I need to remain subscribed in order to qualify for the $100 dataplan rebate or savings?

I have had the phone for just over a week now and am really loving it. Yep, it has a few things that make me crazy, but the tradeoff of carrying one device is worth it.

My question is that I have a very hard time connecting to a wireless hotspot. Everytime I enable wireless and try to connect to the router, the Verizon service tries to dial the *777. When it can't do that, I am just stuck--can't connect to anything at that point.

I know that there was a discussion about this, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help with a fix?

first I gotta say I have no idea why people are fighting so much about release date we all know its subject to change but as it stands right now business custs get it on june 23 and consumer on july 07. price w 1 yr 650 w 2 yr 600 no cont 720. word from HQ is that here will not be camera version of this phone

How exacly do i do a soft reset, i know holding down left slider and pushing reset button does a hard one but not sure on the soft...thanks

I GOT THE I730 ON VERIZON WIRELESS AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE CAMERA, IS THERE ANY IDEA WHY THIS PHONE WOULD BE $600 AND NOT HAVE ACAMERA AND WHEN DO THEY PLAN ON RELEASING ONE WITH A CAMERA... 👿

Anybody know of a store that would carry these? I can't see paying $5 in shipping for a $9 item.

I was in my local Verizon store on Tuesday and asked about the SCH i730. The rep said he did not know much about it but thought he had one in the store. He got it and took it out of the box. I looked at it and played with it while he tried to find it in the system. He fumbled around a bit and said the phone with NE2 was $599 and data plan discount was another $100 off. He said he also saw a note that said there could be another $100 off or more for the promo. He said he could sell me the phone but advised that I could save $100 if I wait two days so I did. Anyone heard of any promos? I did not see any on Verizons website today.

I need feedback from anyone who has paired the i730 with the Denso Bluetooth modules used by Lexus/Toyota and some others. Pairing the Handsfree profile is pretty straight forward and successful but I am seeing problems with the phonebook transfer. Name information is transfering fine but phones numbers result in nothing but vertical bars? Is this a result of VZW restrictions as in the V710 and V815 or is it some other issue?
