Samsung i900 Omnia - user opinions and reviews
- singlelayer
- nG51
It appeared for a day or so instore and online at CPW (UK) and their subsiduary online company 'e2save' on O2 only, but then O2 asked them to pull it (not sure why -I guess further testing, a marketing campain or decision whether to actually release, possibly due to the conflict it may cause with iPhone). It's still available SIM free but at £449.99 and they're not sure if/when it will be available on a network. Phones4U have it on their website (not sure about instore as I didn't get chance to visit today) but it's only available on Orange. The Orange Shop I stopped by at had a plastic dummy model on display and I think it's free on £35 and above tarrifs. O2's website and operators have no information to give at present, but say it usually takes around a month from their staff knowing about a handset to it actually becoming available to buy. This is frustrating the life outta me like many others, but I think with such a complex device, O2 (and others) want to make sure there are no bugs (that and for O2 to put on their damn blue bubble theme) -I'm sure it's gonna be worth the wait...proviing it's not gonna cost on contract!

The Netherlands:
Via http://nl.samsungmobile.com/ you can (pre) order the Omnia and win an Xbox or a 8 GB micro SD card. The first 100 will get the Xbox, next 500 will get the card. This only hold for an Omnia millionaire pack, which contains a 16 GB version, leather case and some other stuff (bla bla).
The Samsung Omnia Millionaire Pack will only be sold via official dealers. Promotion is from 19 August till 15 September 2008(closing date). Ordering closes on 31 August.

Did anyone bought this in Nederlands? I see on vodafone wbsite week 34, but on shops... moreThe Netherlands:
Dear Mihai,
Last weekend I went to Vodafone and were talking about week 34. Telfort was talking about the 18th. Yesterday I called Media markt Rotterdam Centrum and asked whether the Omnia has become available? No was their answer. They have a back order four pieces, but could not tell when it will become available.
On Samsung's site they write that the Omnia will be introduced on the Millionaire faire that will be held from 29 - 31 August. So maybe we have to wait till 1 September (?)

JUST SENT THIS TO SAMSUNG UK WILL POST ANY REPLY:
Are you aware of the anti-Samsung feeling that is being generated by the networks on your behalf? The Omnia is released in other markets but not the UK and constantly the networks are giving out contrary and variable advice as to when your product can be obtained. People are now switching loyalties, in utter frustration
Can you comment on availability?
Can you say if both the 8 & 16 MB version will come to the UK.
Seems such a shame that what looks like a great product is getting off to such a negative start

OMG i just clicked on the Manual section to the left and downloaded the phones manual, must say its the worst set of instructions for a phone i have ever seen!!! It makes no mention of widgits or how to set the phone to auto rotate or mute when turned onto its front, how to customize or change the home screen or lots of other things - come on samsung this is your flagship phone with so many features its unbelievable but yet you produce a 58 page manual with 26 of these pages for contents, warning licence info and trouble shooting!!!!

Cant get divx to work. I see the registration code.I got the video needed to play on the phone, but says it cannot play the file. I dont see a divx program or player for the divx on the phone. I tried playing the video in the touch player and wmp but it coudlnt read the file. did my device not get the divx program or am i missing something?
Also entered my info for the navfone setup online and it says invalid machine id. My phone says AAAA, but when i enter that and my registration number it just says invalid machine id.
Great phone though.
