Advantages: Fully featured PDA phone, currently no other phone has the same features Disadvantages: Loudspeaker sound quality, 240x240 screen.
...download some more from the fujitsu website too.
The device is your sat nav too! Except it doesnt actually come with any sat nav software, so youd have to go out and buy a copy of TomTom to use it as such. It also doesnt come with a car cradle or car charger, so they`re extra.
The limitation is the 240x240 screen which is smaller than normal PDAs which can cause some incompatability with some applications.
...it has since been with Fujitsu Siemens for the last two weeks getting repaired. Ive been participating on user groups and no one else has had this problem so far! So i guess i was just unlucky. But unfortunately its going to loose a reliability point for that. It does come with a backup utility for such occasions though! I definately recommend you use it!
Why Fujitsu couldnt just replace it i dont know, so Im not happy with that.

If you want a gadget that literally does everything then this is your baby.
With a 2mp digital camera on the back, a vga camera on the front for video calling, wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gprs, gps, gsm and more you'll certinately not have a problem with communicating.
The specs are very impressive for the device. The amount of stuff crammed in there does make for a slightly bulky phone. But if you compare that to carrying your digital camera, your mobile, your sat nav, your mp3 player & your pda then you soon realise that it is infact very good.
The appearance could be better, its a little ugly. But its not too bad.
Running Windows Mobile 5, you can install additional applications to improve its functionality, but it already comes with loads pre-installed. You get some software vouchers to download some more from the fujitsu website too.

It has a little keyboard. Its is good but it doesnt always seem to light up when you need it to! It may also be a bit small for fat fingers or long nails, but i find it ok.
It takes a bit of time to get used to the device and find everything that you need. It has that much on it you`ll find yourself clicking around for hours getting everything customised and set up how you wish. The manual is on the enclosed CD.

Other than that though it is very good and great for me, it connects onto my wireless network at home and at work, and with a suitable VOIP application you can put your phone calsl through the internet and therefore cheaper than via your mobile carrier. Ive had Skype working very well.
The GPS works fine too, ive had TomTom 6 running on mine, and with the built in GPRS/3G you can siemlessly get TomTom Traffic and Weather etc (tho just watch your bills!)
The quality of the camera on the back is alright, it certinately doesnt replace a 4mega pixel digital camera with flash, but useful incase you see anything that you need a picture of or a video clip of. As it doesnt have a flash its not that great in the dark.
If you need a fully packed device then i would recommend this one. It has everything! I do get the feeling though that if you wait around other brands/models will improve on this though. As it is so new it does have little quirks here and there which im sure firmware updates will resolve when they come out. For example, theres a delay of 1 second when answering the phone before the caller hears you.

Quick review of Fujitsu Pocket LOOX T830
An edition of radio reception would have been a + point.
And almost forgot this is a 3G world how about that I am mad about siemens products, if something is missing it breaks my heart. And the fact that thier very userfriendly I dont expect some software to be compromised. I am still using the Pocket Loox 400 and is working Excellent.
