Recently, Samsung has been putting together a new family of cellular-wireless Pocket PCs. So far this includes three mod
els, all of which use the same basic form factor.
First off, the company has been showing off since last year the i730. This handheld, which hasn’t yet been released, uses a traditional tablet design, but it sports a small QWERTY keyboard that is exposed when the screen slides up. It will support CDMA/EV-DO networks and is expected to be offered by Verizon.
Earlier this week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gave Samsung permission to release in the United States the i830, a version of this handheld which will have support for both CDMA and GSM/GPRS. However, the i830 will lack two significant features of the i730: Wi-Fi and the built-in camera.
