Verizon Samsung i730

User Friendly Design
The sliding QWERTY keyboard of the i730 locks into place when opened or closed and offers generously spaced domed keys for easier typing. The i730 features a brilliant touch screen that displays 64,000 hues with a sharp 320x240-pixel resolution, making colors pop out and producing crisp text and images. The QVGA resolution changes the aspect ratio of the screen, making it a bit longer and using additional real estate to display more information.

The user interface also includes a centrally located navigation pad and quick access keys that allow you to easily navigate with one hand. The i730 supports Bluetooth and Mini-USB, and includes an expansion slot compatible with SD, SDIO, and Multimedia memory cards.

EV-DO Broadband Access
The BlackBerry i730 uses Verizon’s EV-DO broadband network. The EV-DO network is the clear leader among 3G high-speed wireless options, providing users with lightning fast Internet access. Already available in 32 U.S. metro areas, EV-DO delivers faster speeds than any other wireless data network, offering users average speeds of 300-500kbps, with downloads peaking at 2.4mbps. EV-DO coexists with Verizon’s CDMA 1xRTT network, ensuring that i730 users will have excellent coverage throughout the nation.

The browser supports multiple Internet standards, such as HTML, cHTML and WAP, and provides multiple web viewing options. Optimized viewing minimizes horizontal scrolling and makes content fit the small screen, while wide screen view provides the familiar interface of a desktop web browser. An online search feature and quick links to popular content such as news, sports, movies, stock quotes and weather allow you to locate information easily.

The i730 lets you play MP3s and RealAudio files directly from its built in stereo speakers. (You can also attach stereo headphones to the device.) You can organize your songs by creating and editing play lists right on your smartphone and view a full display of current tracks playing using Windows Media Player 10 Mobile. The i730's MP3 player also allows you to transfer your personal music collection to an expansion card (sold separately) to play your handheld.

To further increase your listening pleasure, the i730 includes SRS WOW. It offers enhanced sound through the built in stereo speakers and through the stereo headset. SRS has several sound EQ presets, including normal, classical, jazz and rock.
