I am a Samsung user for many years, and this is my 4th phone and I LOVE IT. I have this phone for a few weeks now. It works perfectly fine. What I love about it, both sims working at the same time, no need to shutdown the phone

Nice phone, nice design, common features, but the best part is it has dual function!
Would be better if samsung will produce 16million colors phone.

To Richard:
Well / all I know is that disabling T9 by long pressing of "star" did work for me. T9 never gets in my way any more.

The sync problem unfortunately remains.

I am from Singapore and I use a Duos, I have no problem here as both SIM of mine is GSM, this also means that I won't have a problem when I roam to countries like china, malaysia etc. But not when I am in USA. In the USA, this phone will only act as a Dual card holder phone and to toggle between two sims you will need to reboot.

the blue tooth will have a problem, and I believe that this is one technical aspect which samsung engineers fail to realise. all the 5 models of dual sim, dual standby phones I have from china have this problem, it has a radio conflict and blue tooth will not work with both lines, and sometimes it will just reboot.

do not buy this phone if you intend to use it in countries like philipines, USA, Chile etc. but for those who did, this phone will work when you are in countries where by they have GSM providers.

by the way, in china dual sim, dual standby phones are common, and they are largely for GSM users. they even have a "public mold" for factories to rent and produce such phones, the only difference is probably the appearance. the one that produces their own proprietory design is Gionee. think the website is www.gionee.com, and still it won't work in the USA etc. Wind duo is different, it combines two seperate phones into one, and I personally dun like it though techinically it is able to avoid radio conflicts by having two of everything. to me, its like tying two phones together with a rubber bung.

just remember, this is a dual sim, Dual "standby" phone. but it also depends on what system your service provider has.

cheers

It is truly a nice phone but I am having a crazy time trying to sycronise it with outlook. The phone would not work with the software provided with it in the box. I am a bit disappointed. Never had such problems with Nokia before :(

Guys, this is a cool phone.I really liked it.Both the sim cards are active at the same time.The only thing is that one should know the right operating procedure for this phone.

Cheers.

just arrived in new york today, april 2, 2008. i planned to use one smart(philippine) sim and the other with a t-mobile(usa) sim. unfortunately only my primary is active while the second one registered no service. we were not informed beforehand about this problem. if i knew this problem earlier, i would not have bought the samsung 880.

For all the users in USA and Canada, the second sim does not support the 1900 Mhz band used in your country. For more specifications check out the link of the producer, because this phone is made in Singapore and not in Korea http://sg.samsungmobile.com/en...d_1=SGH-D880

Re: Disabling T9

Samsung support told me that T9 cannot be disabled. That moment I thought about throwing the phone out of a window.

Luckily enough I did find a solution: While editing a SMS hold * for a few seconds. The phone switches to text input and you never hear about T9 again. Hope so.

Was anyone succesful in synchronizing Outlook calendar with this phone's calendar?
The provided PC Studio program asks me to switch the phone to "PC Studio mode" - while no such mode is available in the phone menu.

this is the possible answer from P.I. regarding MMS configuration. Just stop by any Globe telecom center and they will configure it for you. Same thing if you are using Smart simcard. Go to any Smart wireless center for MMS setup/configuration.
