SlashPhone.com has posted a review of the Samsung IP-830W International Smart Device for the Sprint PCS service here on their website. This is a Windows Mobile based smartphone that’s also a world phone. Yep.. when you’re here in the US, Canada, or in Mexico, the IP-830W uses the CDMA/EV-DO network. When you’re elsewhere around the world, the phone will either use CDMA or GSM networks and also use GPRS data networks. Specs include:

• Digital Quad Band International Device
• 3.5 hour digital talk time
• Measures 2.29″ x 4.53″ x 0.96″ and weighs 6.4 oz
• Runs Windows Mobile 5.0 OS
• Phone is Modem capable
• 1.7″ x 2.27″ TFT display with 262K colors and 240 x 320 resolution
• Supports Sprint Mobile Broadband
• QWERTY keyboard
• Speakerphone
• SDIO expansion slot
• Intel PXA272 520MHz processor
• Bluetooth support
• Voice Command

Here’s their verdict on the phone:

One thing is very obvious about the IP-830w: this phone is not for the “young and hip” market, it’s a serious phone intended for business. Neither is it the perfect phone, but its performance was overall pretty good.
