Samsung i780 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

I'm waiting it to come out in HK. I heard other forum said the new screen resolution 320x320 prevents the Windows Live Messenger from working properly. So, anybody with such problem? Is the device comes with Windows Live Messenger by default? Please advise. Thanks.

Just got it from M1 yesterday. took me minutes to get the hang of it without reading from any book. Very user friendly.

Hi, just bought the i780. The phone kept shutting down on its own. Samsung did a one to one exchange but the new set did the same to me as well. Anyone out there can advise what I should do to stop this? Thanks

Does anyone know how the battery life is?

I have the i600 and it is crap, I have to recharge every 3 hours or so, and that is with the extra big battery...

I want to buy this phone, but I am scared of the poor battery performance...

thank you

I've set up slingplayer with the i780 and it works but the picture gets really small in the left corner so it is pretty useless unfortunately =(

Se my post at slingcommunity and help me get them to fix this in the next update.

You can off your GPRS conection at Start-setting-connection-Data Call Manager-. This phone got it all. Love this phone. 3G,EDGE,WiFi,GPS receiver,optical mouse,touch screen, QWERT keyboard. Latest Marvell processor PXA311 624Mhz lastly, GOOD price compare others. The only drawback is lack of square screen software (but preinstalled software is sufficient), Maybe square software not just yet ;)
