Hands on with Samsung's i830

Yup, the i830 is really really real, and besides having a slightly more touchable, tactile keyboard, there was really almost nothing we could tell about it that was different from its "predecessor," the i730 (well, it is 0.9-ounces heavier than the i730, but who's counting?). Just a refresher, this is the "updated" version of their QWERTY Pocket PC phone that (still) runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and has EV-DO, 64MB RAM and 128MB flash memory, a QVGA display, SDIO slot, and stereo speakers -- but this time the WiFi is out the door in favor of a GSM radio so you can get ya businessman on worldwide.
