    Bad news, this particular model is prone to a defect that renders the antenna useless at the hardware level. I've been using mine for just over 4 months and now it no longer connects! Wifi and Bluetooth still work fine.. guess you can say it is now an itouch equivalent! ugh!

    Since my model originally came from Singapore, I have to send it back there for service. It is too bad because this phone was amazing.

Hard to say mate, i've never used Atom neither had it in my hands so it's your choice...It has more user memory, but less ram. Otherwise they seem to be in the same league with gadgets (except Atom lacks gps as far as i know, which is quite an important feature i would say). Maybe the decisive factor is how either one feels in your hands and ofcourse the price. I780 is quite reasonably priced in our country. Good luck:)))

          Hello All,

          I have encounterd couple of problems one of them is just an info):

          1. When I goto Start --> Settings --> System (Tab) --> About, I see that the Processor is ARM920T PXA311.

          My question is, is this the correct processor, b'cos I had read in some of the reviews that i780 has Maxvell XScale 624MHz processor (Intel processor division bought by Maxwell). Why is that there is a difference?

          Are both the processors equivalent or different?

          2. Issue with E-mail in Messaging:

          Goto Messaging --> New E-Mail account, setup any personal email account (Ex: Gmail). Setup works fine but the problem is when we set the email accont here, the mails are downloaded only when we connected via WiFi (i.e., it does not download mails via GPRS). Why? And if we o through Internet Explorer it works fine with both WiFi and GPRS.

          Also, If the email account is from Microsoft outlook it downloads correctly on selecting 'Send/Receive' when connected via GPRS (Active Sync and Send/Receive).

          I'm from India and I'm using Airtel network.

          Has any one encountered this issue and how to rectify it.

          Thanks in advance.

The display is ok - but strong sunlight gets it (like all windows mobile devices), battery is great (in my country you get 2 of those in the retail package)..the camera is as it can be with 2 mpix..You should try it in store to see how it feels, the specs are great still after one year. It hasn't dissapointed me so far:) but if you like bigger screen you might be dissapointed. Regards!

                                Hi all, I've been using the i780 since May this year and it's been awesome so far. All the Windows Mobile based applications i've run works. the only thing is that it hangs at times between calls, which is normal since WM5. My previous Atom Life and iPAQ also hanged when you try answering another call after hanging up on one.
                                On the whole this is a very powerful phone, with divX installed I can watch movies on the go. Battery life is the best I've ever had (other others were all needing a recharge everyday).
                                Great phone to buy but the looks kinda wears off after a while.

                                  Hello All,

                                  On selecting the Messaging Program' key in the keypad, following message pops up - "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename'. Has any one faced this problem and how to correct/rectify this.

                                  This was working before, I dont know why it is failing now.

Check one of those. If you ask me you don't need one. I've installed all the possible software and have no problem. It will end up slowing your device...But if you need it try it out:)Regards!
