2 megapixel camera with nice image quality
2.1" 262K-color TFT display (QVGA resolution)

Main disadvantages:

Awkward file browser
Poor music player

Final words
Samsung D780 is a well balanced phone for the mass user and the dual SIM action is truly an ace up its sleeve. The lack of 3G support and the poor music player and web browser are the main drawbacks - we've already been there with Samsung D880 Duos. Again much like the D880 Duos, the Samsung D780 packs an excellent camera and a rather large body. Having mentioned it, Samsung D780 brings nothing we didn't see in the Duos, except for the different form factor.

Anyway, the appeal of Samsung D780 is not skin deep. It may only play one song, but it plays it right, and in a market niche wide open it just can't be a one hit wonder. After all, it takes a few tries like D780 before we move on to dual SIM Ultra handsets and dual SIM smartphones.
