Just got one a few days ago on Orange - works great. I was initially concerned over teh lack of keyboard as I do a lot of email and texts. However, if you select the Samsung Phonepad as your keyboard (can be set as default in Settings), then you get a decent sized keyboard on screen to use. This keyboard will be just like a phone keyboard - plus if you're using Predictive text etc - just as fast.
Anyone know how I can find the MAC address so that I can connect to my wireless router at home. I have MAC filtering witched on in my router.

Anonymous, 11 Sep 2008umm, difficult one. because i havent yet found anything like nokias "profiles" which is anno... moretheres no such thing as profile in wm phones...
u can only use the loud, vibrate and mute (no sound nor vibrate) mode which could be found on the top right corner of the Today's screen or by pushing the up or down buttons on the right hand side.....
if u really need a profile, its better for u to find some profile programs in pda forums :D

you can set your mp3's as ring tones use the media album, you can adjust the volume on the top bar, and the vibration strength in settings personal vibration...

anonymous, 10 Sep 2008Is the ring on the i900 louder then a n95?umm, difficult one. because i havent yet found anything like nokias "profiles" which is annoying, i want house, outside, office type presets and i havent found them. i think you can set your own mp3s to ring tones like the n95 too, but i havent figured that one out. and the tune i have it on, isnt that loud, nor is the vibrate that strong in the pocket. but i could have the settings wrong

I just got my Omnia and I am getting frustrated. I cannot find the keypad. Where is it hidden? The top part does not slide up or flip open. I'm returning this phone.

i have had mine on orange for a week. wmp jumps, freezes or crashes - it has sent an error message to ms all by itself to "improve" itself. however it is a good looking player that hopefully will get a fix. the touch player is great with no hiccups, sadly its not so library search friendly. important when you have 2100 tracks uploaded!
you get used to the phone and set up the mnu scheme you like in a couple of days, the flexibility is great - bt you do have to set it up.
the only bad thing, orange data package deals. come on orange, 02 can do it and they arent famous for being wanadoo/freeserve, ie internet specialists

omnia has a crap music player! you can't edit and reorder playlists. Also once you create a playlist and save it you can't add music to that playlist later on, you have to create another playlist. how fucking stupid is that! Samsung don't know how to create a decent music player and this is ment to be their flagship phone!

Omnia is certainly have the best features in the market for a WM phone, it could be better if it come with a keypad or keyboard, which I believe will make the phone much better for texting and email. I have been using WM phone since O2 XDA. Even the up coming Sony X1 can't beat Omnia, except the slide out keyboard, if not texting will be a big issue with the on-screen keyboard.
Every new released phone nowaday have bugs with the software, so I guess I will just wait a little, and get the phone when the firmware update is out.
For language wise, WM device normally have the issue, so make sure you purchase the device with the correct language set even the price is higher to avoid the frastration. None the less good job for Samsung for this phone.

Lee, 08 Sep 2008I'm struggling to set the phone up to connect to my wireless router. I've done all the normal ... morehey mate,
do u use MAC filter? if so check ur fone for ur MAC address and chuck it in ur "allowed MAC address" column for router wireless settings.
the other thing i can think of is the access channel of ur router and ur fone. check those too.
hope this helps

I went to the Vodafone Forum. There are about 50 people with problems out of the thousands that have been sold so far.
Hardly an issue.
