Samsung i780 (Touchscreen Windows Mobile 6 Device) Review

by Alvin Poh | Thu, May 1, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

My Palm Treo 650 finally gave up the ghost, so I have to search for its replacement, and it came in the form of the new Samsung i780. It’s a sleek, black touch-screen Windows Mobile 6 device, and the first thing I realised is how slim it is compared to my old Treo!

My first day with it was absolutely horrible though — I hated the default Windows Mobile interface. It felt clunky, things loaded slowly, and it looked ugly. So I went around searching for a solution, and found it in the freeware interface, PointUI.

After I installed it, the Samsung i780 felt so much snappier and easier to use. Just check out the video of the PointUI interface on my Samsung i780:

yep! that’s what i remember doing. u just have to transfer that file to your WM device, and run it from your phone…it’ll install from then. If i recall correctly, I didn’t install realvga
