Samsung i760 first impressions

For those who are looking for an alternative experience other than the aging Treo and Motorola Q, how about taking the Samsung i760 into consideration as your next purchase? The external numeric keypad works great in summoning your list of contacts without having to access the touchscreen or sliding out the keyboard, and one-handed SMS composers will definitely love this feature. When equipped with an extendable battery, the Samsung i760 is still slimmer than the Treo 700wx so that goes to say a lot. Unfortunately, the camera has a mere 1.3 megapixel count, so make sure there’s good lighting if you want to take a decent pic. While there are some niggling problems with the Samsung i760 such as the lack of a cradle (it must be purchased separately) and the fact that the USB cable doesn’t charge the phone, it’s still a decent alternative to pick up.
