Impressions
The reception quality put up by the D780 is in line with other Samsung-branded devices despite it having two radio modules. The ringtone volume is quite decent, as it can be heard in various environments. The silent alert is average strength-wise, some users complained about not feeling it, though; all in all, no significant improvements have been made here.

The D780 has been brought to life as a counter to the Fly B700 Duo and as far as functionality goes, it outdoes the latter hands down. Going for the B700 is a slightly lower price, but it doesn’t make all the difference when you think of the Samsung D880 Duos that is still other there. That’s right – this is a textbook example of a senior model literally eclipsing another offering in the line-up. In fact, it trumps the D780 in terms of camera (3 Mpix with autofocus), boasts a TV-out, a more fashionable form-factor and an eye-candy design. On the downside, though, is the inability to swap memory cards on the go, but other than that the D880 Duos is a clear winner. Add its lighter price tag compared to the D780 and this should be enough to start wondering whether this candybar-styled handset has a chance to survive given its current price. The answer is pretty obvious, and its price curve will take a downturn very soon, so don’t go for it just yet – better wait a couple of months to snatch it at a bargain price.
