this unit is good and fast but I feel the screen a little not sensitive for my liking. I think I'll wait for the i900 and see. Haha... that's a beaut!

Indeed, it's not as sensitive to the touch of my finger. I hate stylus and the small screen does not help my grubby fingers smile.gif

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??? sweat.gif

I'm not saying that it's not good..

but on my old ipaq, i used garmin que with holux m1200 bluetooth gps receiver.. it only takes about a minute or two to lock on to the satellites. on the i780 it really took about 5-10 minutes sometimes to get signal.. but not all the time.. once its connected, no issues whatsoever..

built in gps was one of my main reason getting the phone. although I'm not 100% satisfied with the gps performance, it was still a good buy to me.. I need to upgrade my ipaq with something that has qwerty keyboard, 3G, built in gps and I got it. the issues with the square screen are actually the thrill of owning the device.. I have managed to get it working the way I wanted it, with all the softwares I need, just like my trusty old ipaq..

I'm sure you'll have a good time with it. but its still up to you to decide..

cheers!

I am still hunting for it too. So far, it is between RM1,750 ~ RM 1,850-00. Checked it in KBJ. Freebies as usual. Maybe will get cheaper by August when PC Fair is due.

Hi..

I am using my i780 for 2 month already..
I love it because of its GPS built in..even I dont know the roads in KL but I can go everywhere without lost my way in KL..hehe

but I am having a problem with my samsung i780, sometimes there is a pop-up window asking me "do you want permanently delete your stoage card to make your message readable?". this is happen during my battery is low. is anyone have an idea this problem? I went to PDA exert, they said the softwares are corrupted, so they formatted and install me the new one.

for the firs time I was facing this problem, I think because of my battery was low..statement " notification charge your battery to avoid loss any data" is it one of the reason for the software was corrupted?

i guess for gps you can just go to any pda store and get them install it for you for a small fee.

Unless you are an advanced user, go ahead and find garmin xt on the net - or better more, purchase it! biggrin.gif

i tot when you buy it came bundled with mapking already? correct me if i'm wrong - my bro bought and he said got mapking installed already

To Masculine,

yeah..neato4u is true..u can go to any pda store and ask for them to install for you..i prefer u go to PDA Expert shop at Low yatt, the booth is in front of Digi Handphone Booth at 1st level..they will show you their catalog..

GPS can be used by diff software application-mapking / garmin- and I prefer to use garmin bcoz I think it is more friendly for user..easy to use.

when they install GPS software for u(mapking/garmin) u need to ask them to install together the map. u can choose what map location u wanted.(they will ask u what map u want before u ask them..he=P) normally they will install Malaysia map, and hong kong. but if u are willing to go to others country, England or Singapore for example, u can ask them to put England's road map.easy!! dont need to install every map in the world bcoz it will waste your memory card.

Mine was given for a small fee. Since I'm working for samsung, I'm entitled for a phone every 2 years for a small fee... doh.gif
