> In reply to Leah @ 2008-08-30 15:12 from M{3KNo, if you're connected to wi-fi. But you will see if the unit wants to connect through gprs. The point is that my version of unit (probably yours too) wants to connect to the net through gprs/umts with internet explorer, but not wi-fi. When i use Opera it goes straight to wi-fi if available. It's a known bug and there are some fixes but that works on some versions of firmware (not mine) so i just use Opera instead! Regards!

> In reply to Leah @ 2008-08-30 09:36 from M{3KThe battery life with my unit is great (3-4 days) so maybe you should adjust powersave settings. If u use wi-fi, gpr or bt often then the battery should not last very long. Otherwise my batteries are hanging on pretty well i would say!

> In reply to Leah @ 2008-08-30 09:36 from M{3Kwell, maybe it's the problem with internet explorer, because up to d firmware the explorer and messenger don't want to connect to the web through wi-fi but only through gprs/umts which is crap since you have to pay for it (a nasty bug). Maybe you should try Opera, i browse with it and it works ok (but still no messenger - although i heard skype works great) Hope it helps! Regards!

> In reply to oilfriedghost @ 2008-08-29 18:26 from q{SqSuperb sayed- i agree with everything you've written. A great phone with little or no setbacks. I'm not regreting to going from Nokia to wm and what device is better to do that than with this one (or maybe Omnia). Cheers!

Just got the i780 about a month ago and it rocks! It truly has been an amazing experience so far. Overall I am very satisfied and have zero regrets.
Pros:
- Super slim and light
- Beautiful screen
- Excellent input options (touchscreen, stylus, qwerty, d-pad/mouse)
-- Tablet-like stylus options to input via "liquid-ink"
-- old-school palm "hieroglyphics" input option (I guess a plus for all you hard-core palm users)
-- handwriting recognition
- SuperFast CPU
- Ample amount of internal memory to install programs
- Expansion MicroSDHC supports upwards of 8GB
- Dual camera (for 3G video calls, not like that'll happen smoothly in NA)
- WiFi & Bluetooth
- A-GPS works great w/ gmaps, GarminXT, and TomTom (as tested so far)
- Skype works great!
- Second Li-on battery
- pim sync w/ outlook+activesync a breeze
-- sync w/ thunderbird+sunbird super easy w/ birdiesync
Cons:
- Tri-band, but 1900 is all I need in NA
- No 3G bands for North America, but way too expensive anyway.. I'll stick to EDGE since I'm a light data user
- no Infrared, but who still uses this?
- non-standard square display - software screen incompatibility for older software, but newer software will support
- non-standard headphone jack, requires adapter to use your fav headphones; uses proprietary Samsung all-in-one connector
- mediocre battery life is constantly used (e.g. Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth.. will last slightly longer than a day)
- does not come with car charger (but we can always buy an after-market one on the web for a few bucks)
- camera is slow, night-mode photos are pointless; terrible macro (not for you if having a great camera is a deal-breaker)
- video is pretty good
- no built-in voice dialing software; will have to rely on third-party
- wifi disconnects when phone enters sleep mode; maybe a good thing to conserve battery. But if you really need it always on, just prevent phone from sleeping.
- stylus tip supposed to be able to hit soft reset, but not long enough! anyone else?

> In reply to leah @ 2008-08-28 13:34 from M{3KDamn! It should go through - or maybe there is a problem with the unit. Do you have the unit connected to the wi-fi and can't get the broswer to connect or you can't connect to the wi-fi at all?

> In reply to leah @ 2008-08-28 11:16 from M{3JIf you're connecting through wi-fi you have to configure the device. If it's an unsecured network it should connect instantly. I use Opera browser because of the bug in firmware i cannot browse the internet with internet explorer on wi-fi (it wants to connect through gprs). Otherwise you shouldn't have any problems connecting on wi-fi. Regards!

3. Most of the user report that the battery life is excellent. But most of the other user also report that when GPS on, you can only have 2 hours with this baby. Is that when GPS on, you can only have 2 hour ?
