Nope, it's the kind of GPS that's in W760, C702 and X1.

It's named Z780 (old nomenclature) but has no "i"...

Good looking, better than Z770i.

I Z780! very good specs! Actually it makes me believe that SE dropped production of the Z750i because it looked too much like the z600 and caused issues within the sales channel. Well A2 platform is officially going forward by SE and firmwares should be more solid in the future. A-GPS is a GOOD thing, and their marketing this usage/feature perfectly.

I just checked the Indian SE product page and both, Z770 and Z780 are missing??? Can anyone tell me what's wrong??? Is SE not releasing these phones here??? I may not be the one to buy it but these would have still sold well here...

I already heard from multiple people, that it's not being released on European market, which is a real shame as it looks like 100 times better then Z770i !

Z780 looks much better than Z770. Sorry for the Europeans..

aGPS is a plus too.
