If you are fan of thin, sleek, black phones and want a smart phone rather than something that is all style and no substance, the i320 could be well worth a look. Try the keyboard out first if you can, though, as it will not suit everybody.

The recently released Samsung SGH-i320 Windows Mobile Smartphones follows the BlackBerry idea - a mobile phone with a thumb QWERTY keyboard - as also build by Motorola as the Motorola Q and HTC as HTC Excalibur (O2 Xda cosmo / T-Mobile Dash).
The i320 measures 59 x 111 x 11.5 millimeters and weights 95 grams only. It’s powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 with AKU 2.5 Smartphone Edition which means it has not has a touch screen but is used with the keyboard only. It’s powered by a Samsung S3C2442 CPU with 400 MHz (which is quite unusual for today’s Windows Mobile Smartphones). It supports GSM / GPRS / EDGE WAN communication featuring GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz but lacks GSM 850 MHz support as used in most parts of the U.S.
While the i320 also supports Bluetooth 1.2 (including A2DP and AVRC Bluetooth protocols for stereo), it lacks - like the Motorola Q but unlike the HTC Excalibur - W-LAN. However, unlike the Excalibur, the i320 has infrared onboard as well.

The memory is quite generous for a Windows Mobile Smartphone since it is featuring 160 MB ROM and 64 MG SDRAM which can be extended with a micoSD card.

The crisp 2.2 “QVGA display supports the Windows Mobile typical 65k colors. The CMOS sensor camera supports 1.3 mega pixels and allows to record videos as well as taking photos.
