Samsung-i780 GPS on its way

The feature that stands out most for me on the Samsung i780 is the ‘optical mouse’ on the front that provides an on screen pointer, and I imagine this would be really good with the integrated GPS. Actually that is a stand out feature as well come to think of it as I am surprised that more companies aren’t including GPS these days.

The disappointing feature, if it can be called a feature, is the continuing disparage between the US and Europe when it comes to cell (mobile) phone technology. The i780 currently includes Wi-Fi and is expected in Sweden in early 2008, but the US model is already being talked about in terms of dropping the Wi-Fi and HSDPA to adopt the US ‘standard’. Nothing at all to do with Samsung I know, but it just seems that what we the consumer gain on one hand we lose on the other and the manufacturers must be spending loads of money bringing out variants for each country.

Anyway that is how it is, and whichever country you are in the i780 running Windows Mobile 6 looks pretty impressive.
