Samsung SPH-i300

The Samsung SPH-i300 is a smartphone running on Palm OS, manufactured by Samsung. The device was released in October 2001 and marketed in the United States for use on Sprint's CDMA based cellular network. It was the first "PDA phone" in the US with a color screen.

Applications
Installed applications included ones carried over from existing Palm handheld non-phone devices: Graffiti, Memo Pad, Date Book, Scheduler, Calculator, To Do List, Alarm/Clock, Address Book, Expense Manager, and Palm Desktop Software. ZIO PalmGolf was another application. In addition, applications to support voice and data communications were included: Blazer, Mail, Messages, Phone, Speed Dial, Voice Dial, and Voice Memo. ==History and reception==
History and reception
The SPH-i300 was the first Palm-OS-based smartphone from Samsung, and cost $499. The phone was not compatible with Sprint's CDMA 1x network (which is actually 2.5G but was wrongly labeled by Sprint as 3G) and its maximum connection speed of 14.4 kbit/s made browsing slow, but browsing "the real web" in 2001 was an advance on the WAP browsers on other mobile phones. It competed with another Palm OS phone, the Kyocera 6035, == Footnotes ==
