Samsung i780 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

> In reply to michael @ 2008-12-09 21:21 from xfV6Hi! I'm fine thank you! Battery life for me is excelllent (2-3 days) so no problem there (many users reported excellent battery life even on heavy usage). If the battery life is not so good there are several reasons(maybe the device is switching between 3g and 2g, bluetooth, wi-fi and gps also drain the battery a lot). If u use it 4 calls and sms-ing you should be able to get through 2 days,
U can use micro sd card - i use 8gb and works fine.
About apps - free apps are a biggy. U have a few like pointui, pocketcm, but the best appas are not for free. Check www.handster.com for example.Regards!

> In reply to spiral88 @ 2008-12-08 15:25 from PT}IWell, i had the problem with ie since it wouldn't connect to wi-fi but only gprs. After hard reset that was settled, but i sticked with Opera which is a much better browser (especially v.9.5). So i wouldn't worry about it:) Regards!

> In reply to Gun @ 2008-12-08 15:24 from v35Ewell..i never encountered that problem. My unit works right away. I have 8gb microsd so that's not the problem. Maybe you have a conflicting software on it. If it bothers you very much try to backup your entire unit and then do a hard reset. It solved a couple of my problems right away! But please backup your phone first:)as it will delete all of the units internal memory:) Regards!

Hi.. I've just got my i780 few weeks ago. Something bothers me that the phone needs few seconds to response after the first touch on the power button to activate the phone. Perhaps it is due to 4 GB memory card? Would it be helpful if I change to 2 GB? Appreciate any advise. Thanks

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-12-08 03:29 from TSTqHi! The gps button is there only to trigger the software which triggers the receiver. If you don't get a lock you should wait and turn on the a-gps (enhanced gps on i780). With my Garmin it can take up to 20 minutes to get a lock on the satelittes, but i ditched it because Igo8 can do the same in 20 seconds. So it's a matter of software choice. Regards!
