Did you buy from a brick n mortar shop?
Most of the online shop are selling it for 17k-18k.
@Doc Holliday Great then.
When you are talking on the phone, is the phone speaker good enough? Or do you to have to turn up the volume to max and press it as close as possible to your ear to hear the other person?
Got it from a dealer from eBay. He has already sold > 80pcs of the same piece on eBay and deals with only Lenovo phones.
I got the 8GB version, I’ve been using it for the past 2 days no issues till now, I’ll let you know as soon as I find any.
Phone speaker is good enough. I don’t have any problem listening to the calling party.
Is he providing a VAT paid bill and manufacturer warranty? Or only seller warranty?
Can you provide a link for his listing?
Vat paid bill with Manufacturer warranty!! why would someone buy it with sellers warranty!!
Can you provide a link for his listing?
Could not find anything at that price. Every listing with 8GB ROM is priced at more than 18000.
The seller has no stock left for P780. & I used a eBay discount coupon on the base price of 17500.
I have been in the office all day today, 9 to 4 pm (now), Data connection is off, but WiFi continuously on and the battery is at 92%, started off at 100%. Regular inflow of phone calls, SMS, and emails pushing every couple of minutes.
A request, all those who get this phone please try and create interest in its development on XDA. CM for P780 will be awesome.
So true on the battery life, after full charge I installed updated >15 apps on it, and played some city builder game on it for 3 hrs straight, Wifi On, and 2 sims with 1 sim having a really bad coverage, still after 12hrs in the morning it showed 92% remaining.
look up the lenovop780 russian site : hint : google translate, hint : check out roms!
I personally dont really trust Chinese or Russian ROMs. Chinese ROMs have been reported to carry trojans embedded within them(Monkee OS).
Rooting & flashing a ROM is a very tedious process, translating from these websites will be a PITA.
BTW, I just got a review from my dad that the call quality was extremely fine and he came from using BB 8520 and Samsung Galaxy Y Pro 5512. So, the bad call quality is not a concern anymore.
with rest of the hardware pretty much the same, should one go for double the battery or double RAM?
G700: Double RAM than P780, Extra sensor (Compass)
P780: Double battery than G700
Depends on your needs really. The first android phone I used was an HTC Desire HD and it was awesome for its times, but it meant carrying two bulges in the pocket - one the phone, the other the charger!
For me battery is all important, so I went for the P780. I hate leaving my phone to charge at every opportunity I see a charging point!
Somone on the Lenovo forums recommended installing “USSD to Notification” app from the Play store. And since doing that the notifications come, neatly tucked away in a non-intrusive manner. I think that is a nifty app which both does away with the bug and also puts the USSD notifications away from being a hindrance. The normal USSD generated by you are not affected, like the ones using *111# etc to know balance and other stuff.
Any good deals in the p780?
huawei G700 looks best among 3
@aman.pitbull —> Even i got an update of 7 or 8 mb which in a flow i rejected. Now when i am clicking on the available software updates, it says i am up to date. How to get that update which i messed with and missed.
What i am sure is i didn’t update the received one when i switched on my mobile.
I didn’t get any update till date.
