I have been eying the Samsung SCH I730 (picture attached below) for about a week now. I want this phone, or something like it, because of the features - SD slot, MS word document reader/editor, 802.11 compatability, and most of all, the ability to synchronize the phone's calendar with my Outlook Calendar with ease.
I have been holding back on buying this phone for a few main reasons:
1. Size. I know it's going to be slightly larger than my current phone (Currently a Razr), but I'm not sure how much larger it's really going to be.
2. I have read that some people have trouble using the QWERTY keyboard because it's so small.
3. I don't think I want to shell out another 30 a month to get wireless broadband from Verizon.
So I guess my questions are as follows:
1.Do you find a phone similar to the Samsung SCH I730 to be too large and too bulky to carry around? I'm not really too picky when it comes to this, but I just don't want something the size of a Bible on my hip while I'm walking around.
2. Is the keyboard difficult to type on? Or did it just take some time getting used to?
3. Is it still worth getting a phone like the Samsung SCH I730 if I'm not going to get the data plan from my provider, Verizon?
And lastly, can anyone recommend anything aside from the Samsung SCH I730 that they have used and liked?
