Samsung i780 (SGH-i780)

 Samsung i780 Discontimued
3rd October 2007

Samsung's impressively wide range of handsets just got a little bit wider with the SGH-i780 smartphone. This Windows Mobile 6 device makes very few compromises in terms of features and is likely to be one of the most appealing handsets in this market segment.

This is a 3.5G device with HSDPA data giving a maximum download speed of 3.6 megabits per second, and on top of UMTS, EDGE and GPRS the Samsung i780 also has WiFi and of course Bluetooth.

Not only does the Samsung i780 have fast data connections, but it also as inbuilt GPS (global positioning system) support, a 2.6" 320x320 pixel touchscreen display, a well laid out BlackBerry style keypad and a two megapixel primary camera with a secondary VGA unit for video calling. The SGH-i780's memory is expandable using microSD cards.

The Samsung i780 runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and this means that the SGH-i780 can work with Microsoft Office documents, browse the web, play back a variety of multimedia files and read email either through standard internet protocols or Microsoft's DirectPush technology.

At the time of going to press the physical size and weight of the i780 weren't known, although we believe that the footprint is around 115 x 60mm and at a guess probably weighs around 120 grams. Pricing isn't available either, although we do understand that the SGH-i780 will be available from January 2008 onwards.

It's quite a tidy design with neatly laid out keys, and it's a much more attractive handset than the awful Samsung i600. It's not exactly exciting to look at, but the neat and sober styling will certainly not look out of place for business customers.
