The Samsung i780, with full touch screen capabilities coupled with a 37-key QWERTY keyboard.
As the months went by, we've seen a slew of impressive Windows Mobile devices hitting the market. From last year's HTC TyTN II and the newer Touch Cruise to recent ones such as the LG KS20 and i-mate's Ultimate 8502, consumers have been spoilt for choice with the varied lineup. Thus, it came as no surprise to us when Samsung unveiled its much anticipated Windows Mobile device for the year, the Samsung i780. The real surprise though, came after we've had a full run with this device.
In all honesty, the initial outlook for the i780 was one to be reckoned with. The Windows Mobile community in particular waited with bated breath for a device that works on the success of Samsung's i607 Blackjack and its updated version, the i617 Blackjack II. With added touch screen capabilities, a full-sized QWERTY keyboard and a little bit of interface tweaking from Samsung, the i780 definitely lives up to the hype. To give you a brief outline of this high-powered device, here's the full specifications of the all new i780.
