Exterior
There is a large, heavy, manly model inside the box with a design with classical ratios. Half of the front is covered by the display, the other half by the buttons, everything is a bit angular and the grayish case won’t suggest playfulness at all. D780 looks like some really serious stuff, but we shouldn’t be afraid of it, it’s absolutely usable, comfortable and logic. The keypad is easy to handle, above the keys with a white backlight we can see a red and green light for the call handling buttons, while the navigation key’s OK label shines in a nice blue color.
Let’s mention the first idiocy (which has been present at D880 too), the manufacturer makes us scream the umpteenth time by assigning the WAP browser to the OK key, which has been explained until now by saying that “it’s requested by the network operator”, but since a dual-SIM device probably won’t appear in the offer of the operators, we can say that this is a simple lie.
The volume control keys are on the left side of D780, along with the dedicated key that is used to handle the SIM cards. I had only one problem with it, that it got pressed too easily, so I managed to press it unwillingly sometimes. The hotkey of the camera is on the right, along with the microSD slot – this is an important change compared to D880, where we had to put the expansion card under the battery.
There is not much interesting on the back, it’s a large, grey piece of plastic that covers the powerful battery, while under this we can find the slot of the two cards. The designers have even noted which the primary SIM card slot is, but this doesn’t really matter, as we can override this software-side, from the menu. The small hole of the camera and its non-emphasized design suggest that photography is no a power-feature of D780.
