Samsung i900 Omnia - user opinions and reviews

What or how matter negative comments it will take, Omnia is still the omnipotent of all the mobile phones today. Why buy a trendy iPhone, you can afford its price and awesome features? The only or it should adapt are QWERTY keyboard and integrated TV. But its great what matters.

May I ask what does it mean by 256k colours 65k effective?? Does it still mean that it does not pale in comparison to the f480 which says the same 256k colours?

glennmores, 22 Jan 2009that's the major problem of all Samsung phones.. they freeeeeezzzeee...
LG=keypad problems ... moreI hate Sony Ericsson phones coz it has so many problems, the build quality is third class.....
Samsung are doing a great job by releasing phones like G810, i550w, Omnia, Innov8 and the build quality of these phones are extremely better than Sony phones......
Sony has lost sales markets to LG and Motorola and Samsung is at 2nd position behind Nokia

t-dome, 22 Jan 20092 tips for all Windows Mobile users. 1. You _have_ (!) to install an application that close... moreActually, there were 4 tips.

2 tips for all Windows Mobile users.
1. You _have_ (!) to install an application that closes the current program when clicking on X. Microsoft are just too stupid to admit that that't the right solution.
I use tMan:
http://code.google.com/p/tman/
After installing you have to start tMan.exe or restart the device.
It works well but sometimes the whole start bar from above the screen disappears and then I have to restart the PDA to display it again. I don't know if it's tMans fault.
If you follow this, you don't have to call the task manager too often to close applications. But do it anyway every now and then.
2. Another suggestion:
You have to know that the Omnia has 3 types of storage memory (in fact there is more but these 3 count more):
-"main storage memory"/"device memory" (~55 MB free with nothing instaled), where you should install only essential drivers or software which has to autostart with windows; don't save any photo, video or song here, except ringtones or avatars, if the application needs those files exactly on the internal device ROM;
-"My Storage": the "internal" 8/16 GB of memory, on which you can install big applications, videos, mp3s etc.
-the "external" SDHC card slot: optionally you can put a micro SD card here - maybe someone needs more space than the preinstalled 8/16 GB...
When you go to Settings-System-Memory, on the right side you see the RAM memory (labeled "Program"). When you have many programs open, the amount of free "Program" memory falls down. On the left side you see the device storage memory (labeled "Storage"). When you go into the second tab ("Storage Card"), you can switch the type of memory shown on the left side with the SD card (if you've installed one).
3. When Windows boots and wants to load a driver or program installed by you on the SD card, it could be that at that point it hasn't loaded the driver for the SD card and so it can't load the driver. The same happens if you connect the phone to the PC in "USB mass storage" mode. In this case the PC has exclusive acces to the external memory and you cannot start an application is installed on the SD card even if it's icon appears in the Programs menu.
4. For programs/games written for the HTC Touch Diamond to work with the gyro-sensor: you have to install the HTC emulator, consistsing of 2 DLLs which you have to copy into the \Windows folder.
Look here for the driver:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/10/02/make-htc-accelerometer-applications-work-on-the-omnia.html
With this you can run something like this:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bubblelevel.html
or this:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamond-beer.html
As you see again, it's not easy to deal with such a complex phone. Windows Mobile isn't going to make it easier for you too :) . If you can't cope with it, buy a recent HTC model or an iPhone.

14thvillain, 21 Jan 2009hi t-dome. that google android thingy caught my attention. Would this be an optional thing (me... moreHi,
there are rumours that Samsung will launch an Omnia with Android preinstalled (so it will be another phone, but probably similar to the i900).
But teoretically it is possible to install Android even on the i900, but I didn't hear that someone actually did it.
Research (meaning: hacking/cracking) has to be done how the flash update process works on thir particular phone.
I already saw a video on youtube with Android beta on a HTC Touch Cruise, so it should be possible on every phone. Just it hasn't been done so far on the i900.
