Thanks for the info pizi87.

i heard you can't do hard reset with the i780? True or not?

It yes, then this would be a nightmare for pda users installing programs.. nightmare as scared the phone will brick.

hard reset meaning like set default to factory settings. For example if you install a program and when you turn on your pda it goes into an endless loop that prevents you from accessing any functions.

Hard reset usually is a combination of keys you press which will default all settings back to factory default.

Like my treo 650, i need to press the reset button while holding down both power and up button simultaneously (i think.. long time hard reset aldy hehe).

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 laugh.gif

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

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.

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.

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?

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!

Hmm... ok. thanks Roll. With the price tag that i780 carries, i guess i can't complain much to have the all in one gadget. sweat.gif

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
