Design
The X830's unique swing-open form factor sets it aside from traditional clamshell, candybar, or slider designs. When closed, the X830 functions like a fully loaded MP3 player complete with a full-color 128x220 screen that horizontally displays the playlist, equalizer settings, and song information. The cover features a convenient and simple-to-use circular trackpad and trackpad button that makes music management a breeze. Swinging the phone open exposes the keypad and doubles its length for use as a phone. The unit's dial pad is configured in a revolutionary two-column format instead of the traditional three, making the device even easier to hold and carry. The right side of the unit houses up/down buttons for volume control, while the rear of the device houses the built-in 1.3-megapixel camera. Competitive with high-end dedicated music players, the X830 comes with an amazing 1GB of built-in memory, offering plenty of storage for music, images, and videos. Lastly, the unit's built-in Bluetooth and USB 2.0 capability makes loading music onto the X830 fast and easy.

Calling Features
With 1 GB of internal memory, the X830 is designed to hold all the contacts, phone numbers and addresses you can throw at it (up to 1,000 of them, to be precise). A call list remembers your most recent missed, received, and dialed calls. The X830 supports polyphonic ringtones and MP3-based music ringtones. A built-in speakerphone lets you talk hands-free while you're doing other things, and picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. And because the X830 supports Bluetooth connectivity, you can use your favorite wireless headset to discreetly jam out to your favorite tunes or to take calls handsfree.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The X830 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built-in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics, and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the X830. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the new, high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with your carrier's data service and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. Lastly, the built-in email client will allow you to stay in touch while on the move.

A number of handy productivity tools are bundled with the X830 including a voice memo recorder, an alarm clock, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, a clock with world time and stopwatch features, and a to-do list. And because the X830 supports the SyncML synchronization standard, you can easily sync your PC-based contacts.

The circular trackpad navigation feature gives you hassle-free control of the music functions, while the built-in 1GB memory allows for storage of up to 250 songs. You can also download audio files from the CNN or BBC websites via the supported podcasting function.
