    The Samsung D880 is the biggest “POS” phone that I have ever purchased. I thought having two SIMs was an brilliant idea as I work in two countries, I wouldn’t have to lug two phones and power supplies around with me any longer.
    BOY WAS I WRONG. The D880 has only given me enormous amounts of grief. Here’s why:

    1) I can’t sync outlook 07 calendar because it’s always out by -11 hrs (and yes my PC and phone are set to the same time zone). So it absolutely useless for using it as a diary! Which is very important for me work wise
    2) Address book won’t go into “Last Name, First Name” mode. it will only stay in “First Name, Last Name” mode regardless of what you configure in the Address book set-up menu. Again very very frustrating from a business/office side of the phone.
    3) And the “icing-on-the-cake” is that the battery cover is so poorly fitted to the phone that it always & I mean always falls off every time I either take it out of my pocket or Cell phone holder!
    4) I’ve tried contacting Samsung support (via E-mail) regarding the Syncing side of things and have had no reply at all!
    5) The voice quality would have to be the worst I have ever experienced with a cell phone and that is listening and talking as people I talk to can’t hear me properly “they say it always drops out”
    6) The slide mechanism feels cheap and nasty (because it is).

    Anybody who is thinking about this phone should really think twice about it (pardon the pun) . I thought having two SIMS in the one phone was a good Idea but I will never NEVER buy another Samsung POS phone AGAIN!

      anybody used this phone with a Mac? In particular, the 3G modem is usable through Bluetooth in OS X?

            regarding bluetooth, if i set it, it only goes to my bluetooth devices. not the part where you can turn it on/off.

                  to turn on or off the bluetooth in a short way, you will need keep bluetooth in your My Menu settings.

                  only time you will need to restart your phone is if you change the primary sim option.

                      also, how do you get the received text messages directly to phone memory? anyway of turning off bluetooth the short way?

                      samsung didn't explain how to use the dual-sim feature properly. so, NO, you do not have to reboot the phone for selecting the correct sim.

                      when you want to make a call, first, dial the number or select from the phonebook and then press the button above the volume on the left side to use the 2nd sim. same thing with text msgs. before sending the msg, press the button above the volume on the left side to use the 2nd sim.

                      all-in-all, a great phone. flash, wifi, 3G would have made this a perfect phone. a perfect active dual-sim phone.
