> In reply to BFG @ 2008-08-28 23:56 from nxH@Does it have at least a half vga screen like the iphone? Does it have 16m colors like the iphone? Is the screen readable under direct sunlight like the iphone? Does it have a scratchproof glass screen like the iphone? Those are basic qualities that a high end phone should have.

How's its mp3 player compared to the iphone? How's its web browser compared to the iphone. How's it's UI compared to the iphone? Those are features that people use every day more than anything else on a phone.

As for the camera. Is it good enough that I can give away my digital camera and use it as my primary camera?

Question for The BFG or anyone who knows. Am trying to connect to Wi Fi via Omnia. When it connects it showing as O2 WAP post Pay? Im connected to my home hub so shouldnt it be free? Is there any settings I need to change or can somebody advise me.

My first impressions of the Omnia are okay. Being used to Nokia mobliles previously im finding it difficult getting used to the new layout ie touchscreen and menus. I love the look and feel of it and hope to give a better opinion after a few more days.

Dear all. This the my first post! i work for one of the major networks as a store manager so i get to play with all the new phones. The Omnia is a great bit of kit and is going to a big hit back at the i phone. The UI is really easy to use and samsaung have done a great job adding the touchwiz interface from the Tocco onto the handset. If your considering what to go for in terms of the iphone of the omnia there are a few things you might want to take into consideration.

Omina is the first WM handset to have a %meg camera.
Bluetooth actually works, you can send and receive files as well as stream music.
Picture messaging

To be honest the above features are some real basic which unfortunately the iphone hasn't got.

The i phone is a brilliant phone that has shown the path of all future mobile phones.

If any of you have any question feel free to ask and i'll reply ASAP.

Regards,

THE BFG

> In reply to andy t @ 2008-08-28 18:10 from n1raShop round you can get an unlocked Omnia but using Vodafone as a carrier free. Pushing O2 as hard as I can and they are more doubtful than previously that they will ever have the phone due to being over-stocked on the iphone, and tocco and with the innov8 knocking at the door.

There are people complaining about omnia's performance, and to think that it is not even selling half as much as the iphone does. The iphone is selling millions, and if what you're saying is true that the iphone hsa excessive problems, believe me, ot would've been recalled.

Went to the Vodafone store today to try this phone before getting it. The interface was nice and smooth with no lag. The camera loaded quickly, focused well and snapped quickly. I use the HTC TYTNII for work and the OS has issues if you keep it running for a week or two, but that's Microsoft. I was pleasantly surprised that the keypad worked well with my fingers. The screen isn't that much bigger than the Tytn, but just big enough. The screen rotation works well, though I haven't had a phone with it before and not exactly loving it.
Hope that helps people as I know there have been some really negative comments about this phone. I think some people are maybe not used to the poor Microsoft OS!
I will post a more in-depth review once I have the phone, used it a couple of weeks.

What's video performance like on this phone? does it have a graphics acceleration chip like the HTC Diamond or is the hardware good enough to compensate for that? also what's the phone like at handling games? can anything be done or is there software out there to enhance, not change, the touchWiz software? like maybe make the buttons react different when pressed or have a cool animation around each button or something like that and is there any way of adding flick scroll on the WM Part of the phone? and in comparrison to the Xperia, which is better?

I am totally fed up with the inability of O2 UK to treat their customers with a bit of decency and simply say if this phone will be available with them or not, if so when.
But it gets worse...I went to Vodafone today and to use the GPS function on the Omnia you have to use their find and go service which is an additional £5 per month. Sure you can download a third party application, but no one at Voda will give a commitment that it will work nor that Voda have not blocked such applications. Talk about exploitation. Not convinced of T-Mobiles coverage or that Orange works in my rural region. So I will wait for O2, and if they don't bring the phone out, not much I can do. Pretty alienating all this. Technology should be enjoyable as well as functional. Seems to me rip off Britain is doing well even in a recession!
