Since we all know that this phone has no voice dial, can we install 3rd party software for this function ?

yup... :)
i think is the most interesting mobile phone ever.
ofcourse there are some disadvantages... like unlocking keypad. But now i don`t use it. i just click the main button and that is all..phone didn`t turn on/off itself any time.
the biggest disadvantage are two things :
- 320x320.. even age of empires don`t work :(

- even if i would like to play java games there are no funkcion keys ( navigation arrows) maybe some program could change this?
yup i know that if i tap the keyboard icon i can move by arrows but it will be better if i could use for example 2,4,6,8.
sorry for english :D

Pls help me to check whether the phone can open websites with Java Applet or not. Open this link - http_:_//arcytech.org/java/money/money.html (Remove the underscores character)

I'm really2 considering to buy this thing.

The good:
-very light
- nice shape/ pocketable
-very good battery life +it comes standard with an extra battery and a spare battery charger
-the keyboard
-opera browser
-converter
-camera

The bad:
-no voice dial
-the screen res prevents most 3rd party apps (which should be one of the strong points
of a Pocket PC)to run or run correctly
-the track pad(the famous mouse) DOESN'T RUN IN DIRECT SUN LIGHT
-the volume key can not be used/configure to scroll
-the led signals only incoming call(and a VERY FEW alerts)
-although when you want to unlock the screen it said "tap "unlock" or press "*"" the * won't work
-comes with only one stylus
-no mini USB
-I have a dual number sim and each time I change the no it loses all my call history
-when the battery reaches 10% the backlight dims;shortly after(can't say how much because the battery meter only shows from 10 to 10) the phone enters in flight mode and there is nothing I could do to reverse that.e

I've been using the i780 for two weeks.My previous device was a HTC TYTN ll so almost all the
remarks above are made in comparing to this device .

Hi,

I have being using the phone for nearly a month. It's the best phone i ever use. Previously using O2 Flame/ SonyEricsson k800/ O2 Xda2 etc..

Pls note, this phone is using 320x320 resolutions. If you want to have better graphics ie for GPS map. You can search this program RealVGA. refer to www.ppcsg.com for more information on this phone.

Battery wise, this phone is extreme good, I went oversea with full charge, had being using its excel for currency exchange. It last for me nearly 3 days without charging.

Hi friends..

Wanna ask, can the browser of this phone display web pages with Java Applets (Not JavaScript, I don't really care about JavaScript)

Thanks a lot.

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.
