Overall, I think its generally ok but.. (here comes the but part…) As we all know, Motorola leads the mobile phone design. I dont know where samsung is but, they are not far behind. This p930 is a bit, not pleasing for my eyes. also, i dont dig swivel designs. to tell you the truth, i dont like p910i’s flip keypad design when it came out. so, i might be judging very early.
But as i said, Lets wait for nokia and sony ericsson’s mobile tv then il post again here to, at last, compare and know if my judgement is correct.
*By the way, saw this Samsung P930 in demo mode in of the the malls. it was showing a basketball game and guess what, its clear enough for me. you cant expect a HDTV picture in it you know.
