Released in May of this year, the Samsung D780 must have turned enough heads that is was given the high honor of being the official handset of the Russian Olympic team. Perhaps the color thrilled? Maybe the fast and flowing lines or that certain je ne sais quoi brought about by gem encrusted or golden technology? Either way, the team will be enjoying tri-band GSM with EDGE, support for two SIM cards, 2.1-inch QVGA screen, FM radio, Bluetooth, microSD memory expansion, and a whole lot of gold. No price was given, but it is expected to be shipping by August this year.

perhaps it's reminiscent of the Olympic torch?

The screen is QVGA, not VGA.

I just bought this phn a week ago and so far it performs very well! I'm glad of having it as a replacement to 2 of my previous phn (motorola V3XX & motorola L6). The stylish looks is so WoW! and the features will not let you down..! Eventhough it is not 3G phn(not like Motorola V3XX)but i'm so proud of having it. The speaker is not as loud as Nokia xpressmusic but can say,somewhere there! The most interesting part, both lines are working so good at the same time and well managed(by the system). The security system of the phn is as good as Motorola...infact better since you can list the unwanted caller in the Reject List or block the number from sending unwanted sms to your phn(very secured for those commited guy who having...another affairs..hehehe..)And the FM radio is so clear either using the provided stereo earpiece or phn speaker itself. The battery? Well,not bad at all..! And also it come with a CD (to install PC Suite)and with that you can edit any songs/picture to be used in your phn as a ringtone or what so ever..Ok guys,thats all i can say about this D-780 infact lot more to tell but i think enough for me to say that i'm SATISFIED..!
