Finally found the official thread for i780.

All in all, I'm quite happy with i780. WM6 Pro is still not user-friendly as compared to Symbian S60.

HSDPA, GPS & WiFi works perfectly. My only argument is the "sound and notification" which is bad. You can install your ringtone in storage card but in the end i780 will use the "default" ringtone. U need to put all the ringtones in the windows\ring folder... eats up your phone storage capacity.

Battery (1480mAh) is pretty bad. Only last for 1 day usage of GPS (1 hour), HSDPA (2 hours), WiFi (30 min.), voice call (30 min.), video call (15 min.), Video+Camera (10 min.).

Many claimed the 320x320 screen size lack of support for proprietary softwares. Even without RealVGA being installed, there are still essential softwares that can be installed.

Since i780 is not popular at lowyat.net, you will discover more secrets at PPCSG forum.

Did I mentioned Garmin Mobile XT + Malsingmaps works like a charm in i780? Now i'ml able to find shortcuts to anywhere i want. I luv GPS...

Just sold my e90

Thinking to get this i780 or the blackberry 8320.
Is the phone responsive?
I give up 838pro/tytyn II because of the sluggish respond

First, you need to save the mp3(s) into Application Data/Sounds folder.

Then, goto Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications

Goto Notification tab

Drop down Event : Messanging : New text msg.

Under play sound, drop-down to your desired MP3.

The message tone is in the Event drop-down button. You should see "Messanging : New text msg" in the LIST.

Just using File Explorer (in i780 of course...) , then click the top left drop-down > "My Device" > Application Data > Sounds

Added on April 20, 2008, 1:36 amI think Resco File Explorer 6.17 has automatically renamed my Storage Card into "Storage Card2" without any messages....

I am thinking to buy one too but my friend is complaining the volume buttons are not locked even he locks the phone.

When he keeps it in the pocket, the volume button will be pressed accidentally and mute the phone.

Anyone facing the some problem?
