Samsung SGH-X830 Black cell phone, specs, user reviews, images, user manual, and more...

The Samsung SGH-X830 is a unique compact swivel phone that has a dial jog on the front making the design remind you of iPod. Complete with a 1.3 megapixel camera phone, the X830 also has a video player, stereo Bluetooth, and Java Applet.

The Samsung X830 is half Mp3 player and half phone. The X830 looks exactly like an iPod when closed. In my opinion the X830 is the Samsung version of the “iPhone”. When closed the phone looks like a normal MP3 player but when open looks like a cell phone. The dial jog on the phone resembles that of the iPod but works a little different. The phone currently comes in four colors: black, white, orange and pink, but more colors are expected to hit the market soon. The X830 has 1 GB memory built in, and others may have up to 4GB in the near future. Is the X830 a good alternative to the “iPhone” being released by Apple? How is the phone overall?

Overall the design is excellent. Apart from copying the iPod’s looks, the phone looks awesome. The one I am reviewing is the pearl white color, which looks like an iPod shuffle. Overall the X830 is very small in size and measures only 84x30x19 mm.

The X830’s keypad is hidden when closed. The phone swivels out like the Sony Ericsson W550, W600 and W900 revealing the keypad. In my opinion the keypad is a bit awkward because there are only two keys per row. Usually phones have 3 keys per row, so this phone may take a bit getting used to.

The jog dial resembles the iPod’s, but functions a bit differently. The iPod’s jog dial is touch-sensitive, whereas the X830’s is an actual jog dial which physically turns. The jog dial is also a four way D-pad too. There is also a button in the center for selecting. You cannot use the jog dial for volume control like you can on the iPod.
