Samsung i780 review: Mouse included

Samsung i780 review: Mouse included - read the full textThe Samsung "i" line of smartphones have taken quite a lot of different shapes and seen OS implementations ranging from Symbian to Windows Standard and Pro. There are, however, five birds of a feather that do stand out with...

 

Go out in the sun and what do you see at the 780s screen?
Nothing! It˙s black.

Got the phone yesterday of a local dealer here in Turkey. Thankfully comes with english language etc. First impressions:
the sound quality of voice calls is only so-so. Compared to an old Nokia 1600 I have lying around, its pretty flawed. Also a newer Samsung U100 slimline is better than this. But by all means the quality is very much acceptable. It just seems to cut silences a bit too aggressively so part of the detail of the conversation is gone.

Other downside is the battery life. Probably Samsung saw that one coming so the phone comes with two batteries included. The phone hardly lasts a day on a full charge and that is when it is just sitting here next to me. Admitted I do touch it a lot (no pun intended obviously!) because apart from these two things, this phone is just Absolutely Nice.

The mouse is great feature. After some trying I have totally gotten used to it. Slight downside is that it tends to become a bit 'jumpy' if more apps are running. With 620Mhz (Im told) this seems somewhat surprising. Could be some graphics issue in WM6.

What else to add. The Keyboard is a little on the small side. It works but your fingers have to be slim. Its not too bad though. I would however have liked to see up/down buttons, they could have nicely fitted to the empty lower left and right space that is now left blank - for no obvious reason to me.

Camera is indeed a bit annoying - one-action only (point, wait arbitrarily long for it to focus and Click a shot is taken). But 2mp is very good here. Sensor must be good.

In comparison, it is exactly the same size as an Apple ıPhone but much lighter. Its, all in all, NICE. A mini-computer,really. A-GPS, HSDPA, Wifi, the lot...

Buy It. Now.
