From Wikipedia:
"The XScale, a microprocessor core, is Marvell's (formerly Intel's) implementation of the fifth generation of the ARM architecture..."
"... The XScale architecture is based on the ARMv5TE ISA without the floating point instructions..."
"...All the generations of XScale are 32-bit ARMv5TE processors manufactured with a 0.18-µm process and have a 32-KiB data cache and a 32-KiB instruction cache (this would be called a 64-KiB Level 1 cache on other processors)..."
"PXA3xx Monahans...In November of 2006, Marvell Semiconductor officially introduced the Monahans family as Marvell PXA320, PXA300, and PXA310. PXA320 is currently shipping in high volume, and is scalable up to 806 MHz. PXA300 and PXA310 deliver performance "scalable to 624 MHz", and are software-compatible with PXA320..."
Today's 2008. So PXA311 is not surprising.

samsung i780 works great!
b4utele proved a correct service.
my only problem is the gps support.
igo/mio don't work properly because of resolution (320x320.
dear friends be more explicit on installation of tomtom. this software really works? any other solution?
cheers

jajai780,
Thanks so much for your help on mouse issue. Nevertheless, it's not the setting that troubled me, it's indded the chinese software that made the mouse disappeared. Once I removed that chinese program, the mouse appears.
One more thing, Samsung advertised that this phone comes with processor Marvell PXA310,624 Mhz, right ? But if you were to click the 'about' icon , it shows : ARM920T PXA311. Why ? Isn't this wrong processor ?

How to use samsung i780 GPS?
go to > start > settings > system >external GPS.
Programs – GPS program port: GPD1
Hardware – GPS hardware port: COM9
Baud rate: 9600
then go to > NavFone PPC > map view > GPS connection:
> click User-Defined
> Port: GPD1
> Baud rate: 9600
> ok ( do it in outdoor)
GPS need of full sky view to acquire first fix.
If only partial sky (or living on reflected signal), it will take up to 10 mins to acquire the first fix.
It is going to take long time to get the initial fix on the move, especially car or train.

Have you installed some third party software in the i780?
I've installed quite a lot of softwares in my i780. And you have to be careful whether those software are fully compatible with not only wm6 version but with square screen.
Furthermore, you cannot just installed all the softwares in the wm6 like it is something above Windows XP (once you know that the programs that you are installing are fully compatible = no issue with the phone).
What do I mean by that? Even Windows XP will need to be rebooted for proper installation so that the system (i.e. OS) updates the change (e.g. file systems). Hence, I recommend soft reseting for most major software installation.
Through my experience of losing the touchscreen control while having installed many software in the i780, powering on and off with the power button on top really doesn't soft reset wm6. You'll either have to press the hole on the left side, or have some type of program that soft reset the device. Plus, you'll have to make sure that the process of installation is fully completed before you soft reset.
Have fun. :)

Had tried to do the setting for my 3 day old i780 via phone with the telco (Maxis) but was unsuccessful and the telco requested that I bring it into their Customer Service Center to let their staff do the setting.
I brought it to the telco's Customer Service Center as advised and when they resetted my i780 after doing the setting, my i780 crashed!
I was totally distressed as my immediate concern was the 600+ numbers I have in my contact list that was stored in my i780 harddrive!
At the Samsung Service Center, they told me it was the first ever i780 they had received.
After some initial checking, they told me they do not know what was wrong with it as they cannot bring it back into working condition and they have to call their HQ in KOREA for guidance & help.
The next day, the Samsung Service Center called me to inform that their HQ in Korea do not know why my unit had crashed. Up to now, they could not bring it back into working condition either.
As such, Samsung Service Center offered to replace my unit with a new i780.
I have to wait 2 weeks to get the replacement unit.
At this time, I have not decided if I will accept another replacement unit or to simply get my refund and buy another proven make/model.

Ok, I've done some more testing on this device for people who wants to know about the usage of Chinese character.
As I've mentioned before, it is not possible to transfer via ActiveSync such as MP3 song or movie with Asian characters in a storage card.
I've found out that you can do that if you have a card reader, such as SDHC for SDHC microsd card. It's also much much much more faster.
Now, when you play the file in Window Media Player, the asian character will not be displayed properly.
However, in file explorer, you can read properly the characters.
I have also tested in Word documents, and you can read the Asian character without any problem (i.e. Chinese).
As for as writing/input, well... I don't need to do that. I guess you'll need to start looking for the Chinese Edition of WM6 (I haven't checked the CD that has come with the device). Otherwise, you may need a third party software.
