Lets Go Mobile - 6/26/2007 - has reviewed the Samsung SGH-X830 and here’s the verdict, “The Samsung X830 really proved itself to be a real music phone aiming at the consumer who uses MP3 songs a lot. The X830 is user-friendly and because of its small size it is easy to carry around with you. Thanks to its availability in a wide range of colours there is a Samsung X830 to everybody’s taste. However, I would still like to see some improvements on the Samsung SGH-X830. The battery capacity is one item that needs improvement to prevent you from having to depend on your charger all the time. I also think that the spot where the telephone opens should be replaced onto the other side of the phone so you don’t have to turn the phone around before being able to open it.”

CNET.com.au - 4/30/2007 - has reviewed the Samsung SGH-X830 and here’s the verdict, “Firing up the music player causes the phone to switch to its music interface, and requires that the swivel be closed. The display shifts to a horizontal orientation, and allows you to navigate through your library using the scroll wheel. We found this process rather arduous, becuase scrolling down song lists by rotating the scrollwheel (and indeed moving your way through menus in phone mode) takes a very long time. We ended up ditching this method for fear of developing RSI, and relied instead on pressing the bottom section of the wheel to move down. Oh well — at least the scrollwheel looks cool.
All up the X830 is certainly a conversation starter due to its dimensions, music player and the super-quick flick motion it opens with, but there have been a few sacrifices when it comes to usability. It’s probably best to view it as an MP3 player that had a phone function, rather than the other way round.”

TrustedReviews - 1/26/2007 - has reviewed the Samsung SGH-X830 and here’s the verdict, “Serious compromises have been made here and they’ll make or break your decision to like or loathe this handset. If you want a phone that can handle web browsing and display a detailed calendar view, then this isn’t going to suit you. But if you want a phone primarily for voice calls and texting and you’re also a music fan who doesn’t need more than 1GB of storage, then this could be just what you need.”
