Mobile-Review has a review of the UMTS-communicator Samsung i780 that has a lot of superb photos and is very in depth.

We will look how well the i780’s 2 Mpix camera fares in the second part of the review, as well as the platform’s specs and software. The handset’s hardware department is interesting for combining the Qualcomm platform and a latest-gen CPU - the Marvell PXA3xx. Also we will be covering the operating system’s abilities, bundled GPS and other bits and pieces.

Our first impressions from hands-on with the i780 are very positive - the communicator is palm-friendly, offering both QWERTY-powered input and the convenience of single-handed handling. Its design won't leave you indifferent, being in keeping with Samsung's finest traditions - top-notch materials and very sturdy feel.

However even with all these positives, it is already clear that the i780 won't be all the range in Russia, no matter what price/quality ratio it will offer. Why? Find out in the next installment.

So tired of hearing about devices that are non US compliant. This is a device I think a lot of people would jump all over (myself included) if it was quad band, US 3G capable.
