I am blogging this right now from my Powerbook connected (via Bluetooth) through my Samsung i730. About 1 month ago I switch carries over from Cingular to Verizon. I was given the opportunity to have a new phone from my boss who no longer wanted the phone. I gave it a shot and I am in love with it. Ok, it is not the most ideal phone, the battery life is can be pretty terrible. I have also heard that the new Treo 700w has the same issue. I guess it is really a trade off of the speed aspect. The phone is going to consume more power for the higher rate of data speed, plus if you don’t monitor you EVDO connection it tries to connect all the time. Also when you get a new phone you want to customize it and try all the new features. Now that the sparkle is gone and it has become my new phone it is quite solid. On my last business trip it came in handy when I did not have an internet connection on site and needed to download a file from work (back in Cupertino). I simply connect and used the phone to dial up and like magic I was downloading. The speed was amazing. I felt like I was connected to a standard DSL. This is a very cool thing. I am very happy and currently satisfied my device. Overall the i730 is a cool phone, I would recommended it to any one. Computer is always a Mac and phone is a Windows. I like the fact they can talk and get along.
