Samsung E780 - User Reviews

  • I found the secret Forest gentle spring rain and Birdsong by the lake in the files for the ringtones it's so weird like the those ringtones Are for for the Samsung Galaxy S4

  • I used to have this phone. It was okay... I liked how thin it was. The camera was useless, and the games were slow... But it was verrry good for texting.

  • video resolution?

  • yo lo tengo. es una chimba i love this phone, i have been using for 3 years. but, i can�t download games for this.

  • i friken love this phone! i had it like 3 years ago n it is sooooo boootifull! i want it agen but its onli 2G! :( plz update it samsung and release it again! xx

  • yes. You have to download the Java version of Google Earth

  • Can this phone install and run google maps on it ?

  • You go to the main menu, press 3, 5, 1, And press then at ON to activate it ;)

  • I own this phone and i think if felt already 100 times on the floor and it was in fire , in water... And my phone is still like new...

  • That phone don't support card extension ? E770 is much better

  • can someone please tell me the way how to activate the bluetooth step by step. with numbers if possible thx

  • my sent messages do not show up in the sentbox. does anyone else have this problem?

  • Great phone generally. My only complaint is regarding missed calls. If you miss a call, it only shows on the front display screen for a few moments - it then disappears altogether, so if you miss it, you won't know someone has tried to call you until you next open your phone. I've found this a real inconvenience. Secondly, missed calls will keep appearing on your main display for days and days, even after you discard or ignore them. I've found the only way to stop them coming up is to delete all missed calls in the Call Log folder.

  • I love my phone . i got it from my cousin and i have the special edition SAMSUNG E780 Orange phone , it's design and the clarity of the pictures are incredible, i love it , and i love the ideea that no one in my ciy has the same phone as i do :P , they have E780 but not Orange , in my city it's UNIQUE... Thaks SAMSUNG for this great phone , Buy it , Try it , Don't ever sell it !!!

  • this is an exelent phone, the memory is 80 mb but it accept many music formats & you can put the less memory use in this phone IT'S THE BEST PHONE EVER & IT'S SAMSUNG!!!

  • I found a solution to the issue of the phonebook. If you go to contacts, access the contact, select the mobile which you want to use in order to send message and then Options -> Send Message you can use it but...still...this is very stupid! WHY THEY CANT IMPLEMENT SIMPLE THINGS THAT ARE USEFUL!!

  • I bought this phone some days ago and unfortunately although i do like the design and that it's slim i found a couple of things which are very annoying and i find it unacceptable that they exist. 1. The GPRS icon at the main screen is always on and you have not the ability to put it in stand by like you do in Nokia phones. The manual does not clarify if that means that the GPRS icon only shows that the network is available or if it's keep tracking the network and stays connected with no reason. If it's the second case then it's the nightmare of the battery (and i think it is because in only 1,5 days 2/3 battery bars get consumed. In Nokia phones GPRS was only being activated when it wanted to receive/send an MMS through the GPRS network and generally when it was actually needed. 2. I found a REALLY annoying issue. If you try to send a message, access the phonebook to find the target contact YOU CAN NOT view all fields of the contact!! So, that means, if the contact has two mobile phones you can only accesss the first one and not the other and can not send the message!!! wtf! 3. I find it retarded that a phone which has music player buttons at the front cover not to have a memory slot... 4. If you have the calendar in Month View, access a specific day, and then click the back button, instead of returning you in month view it returns you to the main screen of the phone (if you accessed calendar through shortcut) or at the Planner menu if accessed it through there. In other words..you need to make a big "circle" each time you want to access another day of the calendar. 5. The phone allows you to create a shortcut to bluetooth devices but not at bluetooth main menu. So, if you want to quickly disable/enable it you have to go through the main menu which is annoying. If someone has any solution, which i haven't found to the manual, specially about phonebook issue please let me know. So dissapointed ...

  • can someone tell me if the samsung T309has bluetooth.

  • What is the maximum resolution of a video clip that this phone can record?

  • i have had this phone for a year now and will be sad to let it go i love the stereo mp3 phone speakers plenty of memory and its the slimist flip on the market. im getting the E900 next but i dont think it will be as good somehow.well we will see

  • why has this fone been taken out of the shops??? i got this in july 06 but now u cannot get it in the o2 shop!!! makes me sad thinking that it must be a rubbish fone! :( x x

  • Me again, i forgot to mention that is an EDGE icon, but i cant remove it, it annoys me:)

  • I just bought this phone, it is a great phone, the only thing that botters me is a E icon on the screen inside screen! How can i remove that?

  • Very nice then comparte to Sony

  • Nice phone indeed ! It worth it`s money !

  • this phone is good although it has a rubbish memory and cannot hold more than 35 songs which is annoying.it does not have a flash which can be frustating at times.i wouldnt recommend this phone though i would recommend the sony ericsson w850i.as it has exellent features

  • why does this phone have music controls on the front if it has not much memory to play songs with?

  • Does this phone have a flash, will somebody please tell me, thanks x

  • what's mean when somebody say the flash camera is only 25 fps i don't understand it .plz can you explain me?

  • How many text messages can this phone store?

  • I have this fone, good features but no light on the camera like the older e720 model which I had. quite sleek tho. has the same amount of memory as e720 but the buttons I though were a pain in the neck. like using a circuit board. suppose you get used to them tho. good purchase

  • I have problem with my video camera, it does horozontal flip of movie or mirror flip, and its very anoying when recording homevideo :-) it is difficult to center the person, just kidding but it is a problem. Maybe there is a option for that but I cannot find it. And everything else seems to be fine. I like this mobile a lot.

  • Bought it today. No problems the phone looks rly good. And i love it because it is thin and fast.

  • IS this phone good because I'm looking at buying it. What are the ups and downs of it?

  • it is soooooooo bad that this phone does not have extra card slot. otherwise i'd have bought it right now. alas, samsung!!!

  • I have had two of these phones from O2. The first one just would not connect to the network, so i took it back. The second one was great for a day or so then i noticed a few missed calls. After a few tests i noticed the phone was rejecting any in bound call if the signal only showed 1,2 or 3 bars. It would ring a couple of times then reject the call. Really strange! - I thought it may be the Firmware but i couldn't find any info on Samsung's website about this phone. Anyway i had to take it back again but this time i got a Nokia 6131. It's a shame i had two did phones because i really liked the Samsung e780 , but what good is it if it won't accept calls ?.

  • this phone is great... Very Stylish with pros and cons. I bought it cause its so small and nice.. looks much better than the V3i/x Models from Motorola Sure its missing a Card Slot, but in my Opinion the Battery`s Lifetime is so short when listening that you couldnt hear every song with a 512MB Card at all. I use the Mp3 Player with a Bluetooth Adapter (I-tech Clip35S) with which i can use my in Ear normal Headphones and i must say this kicks ass. The Speakers of the Phone are also great. If you sit with about 4-6 People in a room you can listen music very loud an clear. Like i said before, in my opinion its 1 of the most stylish and smallest phones available on the market

  • forgot to say, you can buy this phone for less than $100 in china. my overall opinion: this phone looks nice, seems like its got all the nessecary options for a modern life

  • different wallpaper every time, can i use my own snaps for this if so please tell me how thanks

  • can u put ur own ringtones for text alerts?

  • Just had to send my E780 back to O2 for repair... It wasn't Recieving TXTs they told me it wasn't a common fault, but just look out for people saying things like - you took your time to answer.. they may have txt you and it never landed.... let me know if anyone else has had a problem with this phone and txts on the O2 network! Cheers

  • you can change the skins to pink and make the wallpapers anything you want, although there are flowers etc. preset. it can be for girls too!

  • is there a Flash for the Cam ?!!! plz some one help me ? and it's available in the Middle east ??

  • it looks so beautiful but it has no card slot !!!!! :'(

  • Hi i presently have the samsung e530 which i love and is very girly. I was just wondering if the display settings on this are very masculine? Can you change the background skin colours? I am due for an upgrade and would like to stick to samsungs but there doesn't seem to be much about.

  • The phone is absolutly stunning, I saw it in the shop and I just had to have it! Samsung have put a lot of time into the speed at which you can go through your pictures and take pictures! The only thing I am disappointed is the fact it doesn't come with a memory card slot or a flash for the camera! But I certainly wont be swopping it anytime soon!

  • Can any1 tell me what the memory is like also how long does the battery actually last 4.

  • can this phone use MP3's as ringtones? thxs

  • Hi I was sent the E780 by mistake instead of the E870. Can you set MP3 tunes as your rintone on the E780 & can anyone tell me how the phones compare? Thank you. Stu.

  • I've had this just over a fortnight... and it kicks the ass of my old L6 it's stable, stylish, bluetooth is almost as good as a SonyEricsson and it just generally feels like a more considered design. One niggle that is still carried over from my E700 is that they STILL like to take photos of the inside of your pocket... which is fairly annoying...

  • its look like this phone is a down grade for E770 model from samsung..(except for the 2Mp camera) As u can see that the E780 doesn't have the microSD slot like the E770. Is this some kind of a marketing strategy for samsung? i hope to get some explaination on this issue...

  • Cracking phone. Fits great in the pocket due to its super slim size. Great screen with a setting for a different wallpaper every time you open the flip....great if like me you have loads of wallpapers and can't decide which to use.

  • GooD LukinG PhonE BY SamsunG.. **best of luck baby**
