This phone is bad, where is back button? can't copy paste (SE, Nokia does), sms sound can't use other sound except the preset, difficult to use symbol (char enter or other symbol), predictive text can't disable! battery life is poor, btw model is excellent. think twice if you used se / nokia before. thanx

I have it.
Considering that the people who buy this phone buy it cause they need it, not cause they like the design I'll tell you some things about the phone compared to the D500. First of all, it is 2x slower than the D500. Everything you do, it is slower, (viewing files or entering and browsing the menu/writing sms, entering options menus of any kind).
The second it has a shitty display glass. I never had to clean the display of my D500. I clean this at least 4x a day as every touch with a finger is 4x more visible than on the D500. It is made of high quality materials. It is stronger than the D900, therefore it is not itching when touching it, but again, it is not as strong as the D500. The D500 seems to be a much harder phone.
I am in Croatia. It dosen't work with all networks. When using T-Mobile and Tele2 I have no problems. But inserting VIP sim cards into it causes the phone all the time saying "insert sim card", even if VIP is disabled or if the other sim card is disabled I get the same error message. Vip sims work only when they are alone in the phone.
You can choose easily between networks/sim cards when you are in the phone. There is a button on the side that lets you choose which network you want to use, when you write a sms, or when you are in the phonebook.
It is a business phone. I will probably sell it when nokia releases a phone that looks like the N95 8GB, but that isn't as ridiculously thick as the N95 8GB. If you don't need both sim cards at once, a dual sim card adapter (cut), is the best choice. But, if for any reason, you find yourself carrying two phones at once, this is the perfect solution.

This is my first samsung phone,I welcome the concept. I've had it for three days and i think it's a great phone. Two negative things that i have found are; (1) Unimpressive battery life, (2) Weak antena system that cause no or low signal where other (nokia) phones work well(I live in Jamaica). I;m looking forward to a nokia version.

I have stopped using the phone because of the bad sound quality (too much clipping) and the problem with rejected calls since the keyboard can't be completely locked.

The Duos D880 needs a firmware upgrade. Please include voice commands for calls.

I have now used the D880 in Europe and India for over a month. I won't use it as my daily phone because

The sound quality is not at all as good as in my SE phones.

The key pad can't be locked to avoid rejecting calls by touching the red button inadvertently

You can't call a number with a voice command

The phone doesn't handle voice messages from missed calls well. I can't select a phone number given in a SMS message aout a missed call.

I will probably still use it while travelling though, since I need to receive on two cards.

All of the above could be fixed by a firmware update but so far non has been seen AFAIK

Others cons:

-The FM radio will ONLY work with the earphones connected.

-You can put as much music as your memory card can hold, but the "Music Player" feature of this model will only play 120 of your music files (separated in 4 playlists of 30 music files each).

-The sound quality of the calls made and received from the second SIM are AWFULL!!!

-Battery life without using ANY feature: 3 to 4 days
-Sims works at the same time, as long as you're under 900 Mhz and/or 1800 Mhz networks on BOTH sims.

I'm acutally really disappointed with both the camera and video camera at night or in poor light conditions. At sunlight or well iluminated places, it works perfectly. But at low lights, it REALLY REALLY SUCKS!!! Not even the ISO options can compensate the lack of light... in all, it's very good phone!
