Samsung i780 versus Apple iPhone
To cut a long story short, I sold off my Samsung i780 for an Apple iPhone. I bought the Samsung i780 at SGD680, and sold it off for SGD480. It was 3 months old, but in great condition, and I hated to see it go.
So that’s a SGD200 loss. Verdict? I love the iPhone. It’s gorgeous and user-friendly as hell. After getting it, I realised how clunky the Windows Mobile interface was. It just isn’t intuitive as the iPhone’s, or even Palm’s (which was what I was using before I switched to my Samsung i780).
With the switch, I gave up certain features like the ability to edit Office documents, do custom Windows Mobile programming, and use Microsoft Exchange, but I realised that it wasn’t a big deal at all. In fact, I didn’t even miss those features. So I guess it really boils down to what you really need, versus every features thrown into the mix. The Windows Mobile interface just didn’t cut it for me, which was why I decided to sell the i780, and I’m glad I did so!
Updates about the iPhone soon!

07 Jul 08 | Samsung i780 (Touchscreen Windows Mobile 6 Device) Reviewed
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:
