We like:
Scroll wheel; 1GB on-board memory
We don't like:
Lack of expandable memory slot; narrow screen and keypad
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The X830 is a passable MP3 player, but it's too narrow to use as a mobile phone. Texting and dialling aren't easy and the small screen makes using some of the functions difficult. The 1GB of on-board memory and scroll wheel make it worth checking out, but keep in mind that using it will take some getting used to
