Samsung SGH-X830 Reviews
ComputerActive reviews the Samsung SGH-X830 and writes, “The scroll wheel is easy to use to navigate menus and there are dedicated buttons to change track, volume, or lock the phone. It sounds good, too, though you are restricted to using the in-ear headphones supplied or wireless Bluetooth headphones. Samsung’s music software, similar to the program used on its MP3 players, is typically slick and easy to use. The phone has a flight mode so you can listen to music with the phone’s antenna switched off.”
Trusted Reviews reviews the Samsung SGH-X830 and writes, “music goes into the phone’s internal memory of which there is 1GB. There is no option to expand this using flash memory cards. I think this is a major drawback. With players like SanDisk’s Sansa e280 offering 8GB and a microSD card it could end up being a clincher on the ‘to buy or not to buy’ question. Music player quality was fine to my ear and to its credit Samsung provides a two-piece headset which uses the same proprietary connector at the handset end as the PC cable and mains power but has a 3.5mm jack after its microphone so you can use your own favourite headset easily.”
