Samsung Intrepid

Easy to sync and set up e-mail ; Great call quality

Commands split between keyboard and touchscreen

The Samsung Intrepid has some great e-mail and messaging features, but navigating its interface can be difficult.

The Samsung Intrepid ships with Windows Mobile 6.5 and includes Microsoft's Tellme voice-activated service. The world phone features a touch screen, an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard, and upgraded camera. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G are all onboard.

Keyboard feels a bit cheap. The smartphone has a lower resolution screen than competitors.

While not the flashiest smartphone on the block, the Samsung Intrepid offers Sprint customers an affordable and solid messaging world phone.

Great keyboard ; Design provides a good balance of features for business and pleasure ; Auto focus feature on camera

Very good QWERTY keyboard, excellent MS Exchange support

Small touch screen isn't that easy to use

The Samsung Intrepid is a Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional smartphone with a QVGA touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard. It sports a BlackBerry-like form factor that's well suited to serious email and messaging on the go. The 2.5", 320 x 240 pixel touch...
