As does the old one. The only difference I can see is the 4gb HDD and the O.S which gives us i300 ( 2003) owners hope of an upgrade path...

Richard

edit - nothing on the official site mentions wm2005 by name...

"Windows MobileTM OS for smartphones" is listed in the specs.

It's still a samsung isn't it ? laugh.gif

Hardware looks identical so I doubt it unless wm2005 makes a massive difference.

Weird, I questioned Samsung UK PR on Friday about this and they said it only had launch details in Korea atm.

Watch this space, i'll be reviewing the i300 this week, and indeed giving one away wink.gif

The details of the i300 (2003) seem to have been pulled from Samsung's UK website, and the i300x details are live there now. If it was Korea only for now then they wouldn't have done this surely? Launching/announcing a newer model 1 month after the 'old' one becomes freely available in a market is bad PR - who's going to buy an outdated i300 now when they can get a larger capacity and wm2005 ( allegedly) ?

But if it takes the same length of time to arrive here after announcing, that the i300 itself did, then it's a good 1/2 year or so off :|

PS. Here's hoping the i300x can last a day of moderate use, then one might be on the cards.

Hopefully the new HD is more efficient and the addition of WM5 may help a bit with battery life.

doubt it would be released on orange as they were the first ones to have SPV's and have a range of them unlike O2. This one is "O2's" version of SPV's if you like....

Seems two different sites for the i300 with different specs from the same company are still up...

samsung.com/uk:

http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/mobilep...p?page=Features

and uk.samsungmobile.com:

http://uk.samsungmobile.com/mobile_phone/s...00x/feature.jsp

wonder who's right, and if we'll see the i300x here in the UK?...I'm betting we won't but it's a helluva slip up if we aren't going to for it to be on the 2nd website...

o2 were the first with a (HTC) windows mobile phone / pda, and currently have the o2 x-phone range - and this is nothing like an SPV. There's no dust inside it wink.gif

If they wanted an 'o2' version of the spv they'd, er, sell an o2 branded HTC handset in the UK like those already available in other o2 terratories.

I can just image Peter Erskine now....

( Oh no! Orange have the SPV in the UK! Aha! But we have the X-phone design! - but we'd better not sell it in the UK as unlike the XDA it would never do to have multiple clones of the same phone on the market! Quick, lets launch the samsung i-300 as 'our' SPV!)

wink.gif

Orange have run down stocks of the c550 on PAYG so perhaps they need another smartphone 'music player' and there are rumours they are thinking about the i300:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/21/or..._takes_on_ipod/

"Orange also let on that it was currently looking at the two hard disk based phones – the Nokia N91 and the Samsung SGH-i300 "

o2's exclusivity in the uk for the handset expires in a week's time. I hope orange do launch it as then I'll get the proper settings from them but we'll see. Maybe in a few months/years. :roll:

The UK link is for the i300 and not the i300x so both sites are correct wink.gif

They're both UK links, but one would seem to be the responsibility of Samsung UK overall, the other Samsung Mobile UK.

Now, you'd think Samsung Mobile would have the correct specs if one of them were to be wrong but they list the i300x as opposed to the i300 which is already out here, and in the 'mobile history' pages on that site, there is *no* mention of the i300! But it goes back as far as the a300, my first samsung mobile circa 2001!

And to muddy the waters further, Samsung's UK PR says it (i300x) won't be out over here and they don't know why it's on the website...

Hmmmmm.....

How is battery life with the 1700 mah battery?

How is the reliability of the hard drive. Phones take a beating and tiny little moving parts seem like a bad idea.

Also, is this phone not quad band? No 850 listed?
