Samsung i780 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

Just got mine a week ago.

Any idea why the phone keeps auto connect to the internet via GPRS/EDGE/3G?

I have a blog on i780 squarery.blogspot.com

Thanks!

I'm thinking of buying this phone but i'm wondering if i can use MS Reader since i usually read books in my phone. Has anyone tried installing MS Reader in i780? is it working fine?

1) The gps is regular gps + a-gps. It can actually track satellites like normal navigation does
2) Yes, but the windows mobile makes it hard. I installed 3rd party apps and because of that i rarely use stylus. Otherwise, wm is not the friendliest touch os (maybe 7.0 will change that)
3) Didn't play games so can't help you there - don't have to use the mouse anyway..
4) no
5) that's what they say:)

Hope it helps - very satisfied with the phone - had Nokia before but got bored of their menus...

Best regards

how do you update the GPS on the phone to pick up the latest street names? can the GPS phone pick roadblocks and speedtrap cameras?

i have the i600 and how do i transfer my sms's to the i780?

phone
revert the screen back to the today screen after a user adjustable time,
meaning
if you adjust this function for 4 hrs, if you're phone is idle for 4 hrs
, your
phone will return back to today screen no matter what menu is being
displayed.
Thank you.

I have a few questions to everyone who has used the i780 for more than a month, as I'm thinking on buying one (currently using i600):
1:Is the gps only a-gps or it can actually track satellites (such as sirf-III chips)
2:Is the touchscreen usable without stylus
3:How is the virtual D-pad compatable with 3-rd party apps (such as games and graphics software)
4:Have you installed realvga
5:Is the cpu actually 624mhz

hi all, ive been busy recently.

gps cost is free. for as long as you have a wifi connection

assisted gps on the other hand has a gprs network fee for every kb downloaded.

upgrade to WM6.1, im not sure about that yet.

ram rom -found in specs on this website.

no hitches so far for my phone except for the once a week reporting thing done for MS.

if you have questions please email me at ali0118@live.com i would like to help you all the best that i can. please put the subject as i780. thanks.
