I used it for almost 3 weeks. must say it is more stable than Eten x500.
However the battery life is terrible. With less than 20 sms and total of about 30 minutes calls, the battery life remains 50%.
Anyone has same experience?

Dear all,

Happened to browse the HWM magazine and found out there're many preinstalled softwares are not in my i 780. The softwares that are found missing are : microsoft direct push, netwirk wizard, voice command, audio managers, comm. managers, MIDlet managers and Goggle maps. Why is this so ? Can the Samsung men answer this ? Anyway, I reckon that the Samsung service centre in Summit Complex is somehow not technically improvised enough. Please do something Samsung, if you want to retain your customers.

I ordered the same phone on B4Utele and a few hours after I did the
ordered I saw some posts on Internet about this site and reading
carefully their FAQ section, I decided
to cancel the order.I wrote 2 messages to which i got no
answer.After a week of waiting I notified my bank and they started
the procedures to recover my money. But after another week b4utele
sent me a message telling me that my phone is not on stock anymore
and they will give me a full refund(which they did).
So beware of all this sites,read all the info posted and see if they
have at list a customer phone no .
After a month I ordered the phone from expansys and everything is ok
now.

I could not turn on my 3G and I can't surf the internet with my wireless connection which was ok before. Can anyone help??

I have contacted people from samsung and found out that they have a new software to resolve the incompatibility between the mouse and Chinese star. Pls contact Samsung for further detail.

Cheers

yes, it has an onscreen keyboard. All windows mobile PPCs have an onscreen keyboard, however I do not see the point of you wanting it, as you have a much better hard QWERTY thumbpad on the unit. If you don't like the hard keyboard, there are other models better suited to your needs like the HTC Touch. The reason people get this phone is because they want the keyboard.

Anyone knows is there a connector available whereby I can connect my normal stereo jack earphone to the phone?

I like to use my own earphone to listen to the music.
