Samsung i900 Omnia - user opinions and reviews

Do any of you have a problem that when using the GPS while it is plugged into the car charger, that the phone is getting so hot that it stops charging. It seems to me that there is a lot of people complaining about this problem on the internet. I personally have used the GPS and charging it at the same time for only 15 minutes. However I am going to do a couple of long trips (5hours+ per trip) in the near future and can not have this problem.
Otherwise, I have the phone now for 3 weeks. Upgraded the firmware as soon as I got it. Experienced no problems so far.

I was really a bit confused when I read what was on that website. Furthermore, I also seen some sites that gave specs that omnia had voice dialer. But you know best and you have your unit. I will push thru in getting the omnia.

I haven't really tried that in my device since all my portables have wifi adapters. I might toy around it this weekend using my home wifi.

once your omnia is connected to your pc, look for the file 'internet sharing' in your omnia and activate it then hit connect
once connected, you can open the internet in your pc
cheers

There are built-in themes though they're not quite Z"adventurous". I recommend getting the SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Mobile Shell Skins for better customization.
To change your keyboard, you can click on the arrfowhead located at the bottom center of the screen (while your keyboard is displayed. You will be presented with available options. I personally almost always used the Samsung Keypad. There is also a Samsung Phonepad (multitap). You can also download keyboard applications for better texting. I use RESCO keyboard now.

HI i need some assistance, I am new Omnia owner from S.A., really loving the phone, even though it is the second pne in just 2 weeks - my first was an OBF - however, I would like to know how can I increase the operation speed of the processor? I would like the phone to respond a little quicker.
Please advise me as soon as you can.
