I have found my new phone!

Later this summer when I convert my phone number over to Sprint so I can take part in the family plan that we got for Becca, I will be purchasing a new phone. I have a Treo 700w right now. I am very happy with it except that the screen size is so small. I would like to have a bit more cpu power and a bigger screen size, so I can also use it to watch movies that I can convert to hand-held format.

I had been looking into the PPC-6800, which will be coming out later this spring, but I found one that I like better. It’s the Samsung SCH-i760. I like that it has a regular phone keypad on the face, yet it still has a slide-out full keyboard. Unlike current phones that have a keypad and slide-out keyboard, the i760 runs Windows Mobile 6, which will allow me to run third part applications!

When the keyboard is open, the front keypad looks like it will work as a dedicated number pad.
