To all current and future owners of i780, please goto PPSCG forum. So sorry to say that, for i780, this LY forum is not as active as PPCSG. You may proceed to

http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=99361

As for the hard reset, YES. i780 supports hard reset button combo. Only for ROM C1 and above. You might ask me what is ROM? Well, that's why you should proceed to PPCSG forum above.

hey dgtel, i read the PPSCG forum but does the ROM available in Malaysia? Or is it just singapore?

And gosh.. the i780 thread there super active man.. Tons of info.

Does anyone know the current market price for this phone in Malaysia yet? Can anyone check out? Oh yeah and find out what freebies we get when buy one

the ROM is upgraded when u send ur unit to the service ctr. goto Summit or Samsung Service ctr (near Avon Federal highway)

current price should be around RM1799 to RM1999 with typical free screen protector, two batteries, 4GB microSD. u can try Sunway Pyramid, or Subang Parade, or Lowyat...anywhere... just survey around...

anyone in Malaysia had updated their ROM yet? What version is the latest? I may head out and buy one this weekend

My company can only give me the phone maybe this Thursday..... hv been waiting for 2 weeks.... arggghhhhh

Now, heard that i900 coming out..... arrggghhhh

Hey Masculine, do tell me the ROM version both radio and PDA once you get it. And see if you can do hard reset using the combination keys as well + use MSN via wifi. If yes then i can safely say you have the latest ROM.

No use chasing new stuffs, you will never be #1 for long these days

Oh yeah, do take a pic and show us some local phone pics oso

Hi all, could you all please recommend me any shop to buy this phone in LowYat? what price? what gift o software they give? any free upgrade, solution and maintainance for the softare after sale service?

Last time i checked , PDA Expert can let it go around RM1850 plus 4GB, screen protector and maybe even BT.....but u really have to ask for that price la...and softwares support as well

I think the standard packages that you got when buying this PDA phone :

4 GB Micro SD
2 Batteries
1 Travel Adapter
1 USB cable (Phone to PC)
1 Earphone
1 Screen Protector

Installed software like GPS,MAPKING and others basic sofware
Warranty 16 Month from FMG

i asked my bro who went to lowyat recently, and he got this quote

RM1799
4GB Micro SD
2 battery

i think should come with Travel charger, earphone, and USB cable.
Screen protector not sure.

Why didn't they include the pda holder that sticks to car windscreen? Most GPS phone will include that in bundle. I think Samsung forgot to think about this lah..

Anyway, my bro bought one from PC Fair last time (around RM1600+)

The ROM version i think it's similar to the Singapore one.. the oldest ROM actually which does not have the hard reset keys combo.

And yeah one time he can't access his SMS. So he hard reset and all ok again.

He said GPS is very good, he used it in Indonesia too and works great.

how wonder...hard reset only due to can't access SMS
i think ur bro always back up all his phone setting...if don't..very tired to installed program again..

hi guys!

I never posted anything here before, but now decided to join the discussion..

I bought the i780 on 12th June.. and extremely happy with it. I got it at RM1788 (it was 1899 before) from The Brilliant PDA Expert in Lowyat.
With the phone I got:
2 batteries
1 travel charger with battery case
1 handsfree
1 USB cable
1 stylus (never used it!)
1 micro sd 4gb
1 screen protector (actually 2 coz that guy ruined the first one)

they offered me to install softwares FOC, but I declined since I like the thrill of customising my phone myself. I had an iPaq before and I already have all the softwares I needed. I spent 1 week to try out some softwares for compatibility with the screen. so far I got the setup that I liked and it was similar to my old iPaq. some games are not compatible but its not that important. no problems migrating my calendar entries and contacts from the iPaq to the i780. gps also works fine.

the firmware is DXHD1 which I think is quite current in Malaysia, I will only update if samsung came out with WM6.1 for i780. I was too excited with the phone I forgot to try the hard reset button combo. now too lazy already.

only problem so far is fring always hang. not sure why, but i use it with wifi. anyone experience the same..?

hi roll, great to hear that.

Have you or anyone else here tried realvga? Heard it solves a lot of compatibility issues with the screen.

so far, i have no problem with it...sometimes hang after using adobe reader..
reading e-book,

wa..never use ur stylus...

neato4u,

i'm using realvga 96dpi.. great applicaton. if it wasn't for realvga, maybe i wont buy this phone.. i was afraid that spb pocket plus is not compatible.. but it turn out ok..


eddiey_5,

my adobe reader couldn't even load. later i will try to reinstall see what happen..
i don't even use the stylus on my ipaq.. i use happy tapping keyboard with iphone skin for typing.
now that i780 has qwerty, and the screen is flushed some more.. everything can be done without the stylus.. and its faster that way too..

roll, have you tried PointUI on your i780?

Seen in youtube that it runs well on it.

Can't you guys try use Document to go and load adobe pdf files from there instead?

Does anyone know how to setup Google Maps with GPS enabled? I can't seem to be able to seek for the GPS satellites. Therefore, I am stucked with USA maps. Any idea anyone?

I am using Maxis 3G service, btw.

Gracias...

i did try pointui.. but the orientation is wrong.. the interface is correct, but the control is rotated 90 degrees.. tried install the patch by developer but still the same.. maybe its because of realvga.. coz some people in ppcsg said that it works fine..

u cant get satellite signal even outside? inside the car also cannot get signal sometimes..

i dont remember doing any setting for google maps. once i open google maps, i tap on menu then tap use gps.. then it will start seeking for gps satellites..
but it says my location is at nilai whereas i am in kl.. somehow the setting not yet correct.. my garmin mobile xt works fine tho..

i will try to do setting on my phone first.. i'm sure somebody here alredy got the right setting..

roll.. based on your statement, it seems that GPS functionality in i780 is not good?

I'm planning to buy this because it got GPS. Will it be a good buy?

Heard some say GPS start took them like 5 - 10 minutes before they can use it.. need to wait that long meh???

Hmm...mine cannot even seek the GPS satellites. It seems to be seeking perpetually until one message that says maybe some obstructions, even when I am on the road. Therefore, it defeats the purpose of a GPS.

Besides, it annoys me when the backlighting constantly lit up whenever I plug it into the PC for recharge. Any idea to solve this bug?

Anybody know of any good plastic casing for this phone?
