This text will be replaced
 The Samsung SCH-i760 feels half-baked, like a permutation that came from a brainstorm session: "How about a touchscreen phone with a slide-out keyboard AND numeric keys?" It doesn't quite work, but not just because the hardware design is flawed. There simply isn't enough on the phone to make Windows Mobile 6 friendly, and WM6 requires a lot a coddling to be a happy baby. While other Windows Mobile phones on Verizon and other carriers beef up the OS with multimedia options, touchscreen overlays and capable third-party software, Samsung merely throws in Picsel Viewer, and it didn't even seem to work properly, at least not browsing the Web. At this price, with such a lack of amenities to recommend it, we would skip this phone, and try something else. Release: October 2007. Price: $350.
Pros: The phone makes calls that sound good, and Windows Mobile 6 does a fine job with call management.
Cons: Funky design doesn't work for us, causes more problems than it solves. No IM, other messaging options unimpressive. Keyboard not comfortable. No additional software to improve or personalize WM6.
