With quad-band GSM/CDMA and EV-DO for high speed data transfer, Samsung's thumbboard-equipped SCH-i830 communicator is slated for US shelves in time for the holidays.
At its annual technology conference in Dallas, Texas, Samsung today unveiled several new handset models including the Windows Mobile powered SCH-i830 communicator. Offering quad-band CDMA with EV-DO for fast data transfer speeds, the slider form factor device is a successor to the SCH-i730 which made its official debut at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Equipped with a QVGA display and running Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, the SCH-i830 mainly differs from its predecessor through the inclusion of quad-band GSM and CDMA support, remaining otherwise identical to the SCH-i730. This includes its 2.8-inch QVGA display and integrated thumbboard, as well as 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB of non-volatile memory.
Other highlights of the device include Bluetooth support, as well as an SDIO capable SD/MMC card expansion slot and dual stereo speakers with SRS TruSurround, speakerphone capabilities and more.
Due for availability in the US in time for the holidays, Samsung did not indicate which carrier would be offering the SCH-i830. The Samsung SCH-i730, however, has been exclusively available from Verizon Wireless, indicating a likelyhood that the SCH-i830 might also be offered by this carrier.
