Description: Features
Since it runs the Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone Edition, the Samsung SGH-i718 is a little behind the times when compared to devices like the T-Mobile Wing that run the latest Windows Mobile 6. That said, it still has a pretty good set of features with a great combination of PIM tools, multimedia features, and office applications. We were just a little disappointed by the lack of 3G as well as the lack of Wi-Fi.

The full Microsoft Mobile Office Suite comes with the device, which you can use to create, view, and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. Other management tools include the calendar (which can be synced up to your corporate Exchange Server), a calculator, a clock, a voice recorder, and a measurement converter. It also has a really cool business card reader, which can be used to automatically capture business card information. Once you start up the application, you'll be presented with the camera's viewfinder. You then have to align the business card with four markers on the screen. When it's properly aligned, the reader will automatically take a picture of the card and then record the information into your address book. We thought this was a really neat feature that a lot of business users would covet.

The Samsung SGH-i718 has a slew of messaging options, with support for POP3 and IMAP e-mail accounts; of course it will also sync with your Outlook calendar. Since it also has Microsoft's Direct Push technology, you can sync it with your corporate e-mail as well. Though it does not come preloaded with instant messaging clients, you could probably download an application yourself. Of course, it also supports regular SMS text messaging as well as multimedia messaging. The SGH-i718 also comes with a miniature version of Internet Explorer for Web browsing. Again, we were pretty disappointed with the lack of 3G support, but at least the SGH-i718 comes with Bluetooth 2.0. .
