the last time i bought a new mobile was 3 yrs ago. i just didnt find any compelling reason to change phones since my connectivity needs have largely simplified. i dont surf the net with it. it's really a text and call machine for me. even the PDA use fizzled out since i couldnt figure out how to make sony ericcson p990i synchronize seamless with my mac. :(
the iphone was an attractive target. but then again, beyond just texting and calling, i felt that i wouldnt be maximizing the use of the iphone. so i didnt get in line to grab that phone.
my most compelling need now is to integrate my three phones, one for each network. and since they havent come up with a tri-sim phone, i had to content myself with a dual-sim phone. and i recently got this samsung d980.
ive been sony ericcson for more han 3 yrs now. so im now having problems shifting to another system.
consider this a product review.
plus
it's small enough. and both sims are easily accessible.
it's touch-screen, and it vibrates to tell you it 'felt' your touch.
both sims are tri-band (as if ill be using that anytime soon.)
the widgets hide, not like the iphone where the widgets dominate the wall.
5 megapixel pic.
the application for windows, the studio allows me to send messages from my pc
nega
can't recognize txt business cards
messages are automatically replied to using the default sim, even if sent thru the other network. (im getting 'hus dis pls' messages)
its not wifi.
i still use windows to synchronize with outlook.
worse, it doesnt recognize numbers the way ericcson does. (outlook puts spaces automatically to delineate country code, area code and phone nos) ericcson seamlessly synchronizes with outlook contacts. this doesnt. i have to delete the spaces manually!
i still couldnt tell you if which outweighs the other...

Personally I could never be bothered to watch something or surf the net on such small a screen. As for a camera phone my main purpose is hoping to capture a UFO. lol
mahirap yung walang business card. youre in that field pa naman. bigay mo na lang sa aken pag ayaw mo na ha? hehe
sorry, some unsolicited remarks from a telco guy: do you use your phone to surf the web? is it 3G na? hspa compatible? uhm, what's your mobile operator? the bigger telco has network expansion plans for subs with newer phones. sorry if medyo vague the last sentence.

im planning to buy today a dual sim phone too, though it only costs cheaper than what you have. I hope i wont be struggling the first time i use it.
if you using mac you should have just gotten an iphone. by the way i thot the samsung dual sim phone is not 3G? one of the reason why i didnt buy it. wont work in Japan and cant stand the idea that i am not on 3G when the signal is everywhere. i rather carry 2 phones or at one time 3 phones. but slowly i am learning how to forward calls and ignore sms until i pretty much settle on one phone. may not work for you. but i am even thinking i can survive without my phone for a few hours or even up to half a day. not an easy feat.
