Sprint Ace / Samsung SPH-i325 Smartphone
Samsung released the Ace SPH-i325, a smartphone running Windows Mobile OS, for Sprint. The phone looks like the BlackJack we have seen before. The Samsung Ace SPH-i325 has a QVGA LCD display, QWERTY keypad, a 1.3 Megapixel camera and support for Direct Push for email update.
Of course, the Ace does offers multimedia playback while you can also use it to chat with your friends via AOL, Windows Live, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ.

While this phone has a lot of nice features there are many things that are missing (e.g., will not play youTube videos, will not run Opera Mini, lacking ability to change IE homepage, googleMaps locate me feature is not supported, etc.). General impressions are that this phone is great for business users, but if you like to tinker, it seems like the Operating System has been crippled by Sprint, and there is not yet a strong user community driving fixes. Ultimately, not too “smart” of a smartphone.
