I bought the i780 in Malaysia and was told the same thing. However, after doing some search online, realised it was a matter of configuring the GPS ports from the GPS Intermediate Driver to one of the 9 com ports and voila - everything works. From Google Maps to Garmin (Samsung Mobile Navigator, which, unfortunately, the i780 doesn’t come with in Southeast Asia.)

Hi,
Im thinking of buying the SGH-i780 but I have a few questions about GPS. Do the units that are sold in Manila have GPS? The website was pretty clear that the unit has GPS BUT when I asked the salesladies at the Samsung store, they said it didnt have GPS. So I showed them the manual which said it has, but they still insisted that it doesn’t. Any thoughts?

and is the price tag (PHP 21,000) that you mentioned those that are offered by authorized samsung dealers here in manila? thanks!

Thanks to you Abe, I finally decided to retire my Treo650. i780 is a perfect phone for me and the internet sharing works with Mac, flawlessly!

And i love the GPS function using Google Maps! I actually didn’t know much about the GPS until I read about it while at work today..

Yup, it’s the i780 indeed. I stand corrected. Was actually surprised when it was showed to me that it was a little different than the BlackJack 2 originally reported here. Only had a couple of hours playing with it after a friend lent it to me.
