The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg weighs in with a review of
the new Samsung i730 smartphone, which boasts the ability to surf the Web and e-mail functionality at broadband speeds.
Basically, he likes the i730 because it delivers on its promises for making calls, accessing the Web, sending and
receiving e-mails, playing music, and displaying pictures. However, he does point out drawbacks such as its size, low
battery life, and having to use the stylus for most applications. Plus, the $599 price tag certainly can be a drawback
by itself. On the whole, Mossberg gives it a fairly steady thumbs-up.
This niche blog has now been merged into the The Wireless Report (www.thewirelessreport.com), which covers all things wireless.

(Page 1)2. I've been awaiting the i730's arrival for some time now. Have you had a chance to examine the WiFi functionality? Will it work over any wireless network or are you limited to Verizon's? How difficult is it to configure?
