Samsung i780

so i got mine

yes so after waiting 2 weeks for mtn eastage (useless B@#$^) i finally got my i780 and waiting a extra 5 days for MTN EASTGATE (yes they still pritty useless) i got my sim activated. anyway the phone is super great. the 3g connection is awesome (watching youtube videos with no lag) and im downloaded a 11meg file in like 1min. i went to isohunt and found around 200 extra applications you can install on the phone.

the phone itself is super fast. fits well in your pocket super light and I tend to forget its there. i charged the phone for 17hours and it it went for around 5 days without using the gps. i think in full use it will be around 3 days.

Great phone
 
odd that no one seems to be worried that you can't get pouches or screen protectors for the phone, everyone is more interested in what it can or cannot run instead ...

Yes.

I'm far more interested in what it can do that what it can wear.

Suuuure cause thats the first thing you consider when buying a phone... how many pouches can i buy for it 10, 20 maybe 50? :rolleyes::D
 
S'funny - my i780 doesn't charge when connected by USB to PC. Is this standard? If not, then I'll have to check which software is interfering with the charging.
 
what i meant was this phone scratches very easy, yet there is no protection to be found anywhere in this country and it seems to bother no one ?

It's all good that everyone is pointing out all the apps that dont work on the phone and trying to find fault with it everywhere they can, but isn't not being able to buy a pouch or screen protector a major flaw ?

6 pages of posts and only one guy briefly pointed it out....

This looks like a great phone, however, I think I'll wait for the i900 ;)

Edit: Just found out that the i900 will only be released in late September :eek: so I'll get the i780 instead.

Looks like my next phone will be a i780 instead of a Treo 850! Briefly thought about going for the Palm Centro, but %^&* Palm - still no 3G!!!? And no GPS?
 
the wm6.1 update is busy being tested by samsung and should be launched sometime in the next month or so. and it will be a free update.
 
WM6.1 was targeted for an August release, but now it seems the company has pushed this back to October, citing "plans for an additional value-add". No specifics were given about what feature will be added, but at least it's still in progress.
 
has anyone found any kind of pouch that fits this phone ? even if it is another model's ?

Regretfully no - I'm too busy playing. I think if I navigate my kids to school one more time my wife is gonna throw my i780 out the window.

On a side note I was completely surprised to find a car dock in the box.

Who did you get it from?? MTN or Vodacom
 
well, MTN is selling it for R5022 which is R1000 cheaper than vodacom, and no the phone is not network locked. I bought mine from mtn last week and am using it with vodacom sim card. ( altho MTN dont sell to anyone who doesnt have a contract, you will have to find someone with mtn contract and get them to buy it for you. )

and yes the car charger was a pleasant surprise. I read that overseas models come with a screen protector in the box as well, but S.A models dont have this :(
