                Kent, 31 Mar 2009Hi, im going to bu i780, but before that i need to know, ho... moreMy personal comments comparing with some other phones.

                SAMSUNG i780 Speaker sound is rather soft and plain. Recommend to use Headset.

                i780 Original Headset sounds better, but size may not fit all ears, kept droping out of my ear.

                Found cheap i780 Headset connector / convertor for 3.5mm-Socket for normal walkman ear-piece. May be poor quality of cheap connector make my also cheap 32ohm ear-piece sound horrible. I thinking to buy a GOOD 8ohm or even 4ohm ear-piece, any suggestion anyone? "PHILIPIS" is pricy and so-so. "SONY" pricer, may be better. Price is always pulling me back to buy a GOOD ear-piece that can make me better enjoy MP3 on my mobile.

                My conclusion: i780 Speaker is so-so (SOFT and PLAIN), origina Headset sounds better but may not fit all ears (mine is too big and the ear-piece kept dropping).

                    If you press "Shift", hold shift and click on the mousepad, this wil activate a "some like need to dubbleclick" function on the mousepad and a nice scroll functionality on the sidebar. To deactivate, press the pousepad together with the OK key.

                        Hi to All:
                        I bought my i780 last Saturday and started to get things up and running. I must say compare to the previous WM devices that I had, the i780 kick bud.
                        No problem with setting up GPS,Wi-Fi,GPRS,Email,3G,B/Tooth,Modem to my laptop and running my own applications. This phone is a must for people that live for performance and stability.

                                  No problem about compatibility if you install RealVGA. It will also make the whole interface look high res with many things can fit in the screen.
                                  (a.) Download RealVGA it at: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830"
                                  (b.) then select 96dpi, then all softwares are compatible after you restart :)

                                      BELLE, 20 Mar 2009Hi, can you teach me how did you do these? 1) I created di... moreBELLE,
                                      This is a Re post because gsmarena rejected this post several times. I hope this will finally work.

                                      1.to manually create quickLaunch to new SMS is a bit tricky.
                                      (a.) You have to edit the following parameter in notepad (30#windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to "" -body "")
                                      (b.) then rename the extension from (.txt) to (.lnk)
                                      (c.) then transfer to your phone through activesync. If you want you can assign it to a button from settings, buttons.

                                      (a.) To make it simple just download "launch manager" from "http://fanasticbytes.com" because it has option to automatically make it for you.
                                      (b.) After installing it make sure you also download the i780 skin at "http://fantasticbytes.com/downloads/getfile/name/black320x320"
                                      (c.) copy that file to your device then tap it.
                                      Note: "launch manager" is simple but very powerful software. It's not just about new SMS shortcut but rather all shortcuts you want!

                                      2. Assign taskmanager to button for 1-click access because the default in i780 requires you to long-press "OK" button which takes long and annoying.
                                      (a.) You download AE Button Plus at "http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php" What it does? it simply lets you do anything to any hardware button in your device. You can even assign separate functionality to single-click, double-click, long-press, and even triple click! Meaning a single button can have 4 functions or use it to launch 4 different programs in 4 different ways!
                                      (b.) Run it and you assign "task manager.lnk" shortcut to any button preferably the left-button(the one above the green-button.)
                                      (c.) Since you already have AEButtonsPlus, you can also use it to assign "Launch Manager" to any button you want even in the form of double-click, long-press or any method.

                                      3. Quickly toggle between d-pad and mouse-mode. You didn't ask for it but it's a mortal sin for i780 owners not to use it.
                                      (a.) Download it "http://www.mysamsungepix.com/applications/utilities/chgfingermouse/"
                                      (b.) Since you already have AE-Buttons-Plus, just assign chgfingermouse to any key (preferably the right-button above the red-button.) You can locate chgfingermouse.exe file inside "program files" in the main storage.Then pressing the assiged button will quickly switch between dpad and mouse. very handy.

                                      4. Typing in i780 qwerty easier and faster- You also didn't ask for this but lets admit it; i780 qwerty is hard to press are so tiny for most thumbs.
                                      (a.) Solution: just download MagikBlite at "http://www.mobiion.com/magikblite.html"
                                      (b.) Make sure you assign the i780 layout(just mail me if u can't find it), then activate it, then typing is very satisfying because u no longer need to press shift or caps. How it works? double-click will output capital capital, while press-and-hold will output the alternate character.

                                      More tips next time. That's all for now. For any confusion from the above, just email me
