As always, upgrading your ROM is entirely at your own risk but as long as you read up on the process and follow the steps to the letter you should be OK. I upgraded recently and it went without a hitch. Themes for the Omnia are a bit tricky due to the odd screen size - normal QVGA Pocket PC themes will work but the desktop image may not fill the screen or may be distorted (I've not tried them). You can find many in the Downloads section here on Modaco. If you run SPB Mobile Shell software then there are some excellent skins - check this thread here for details. You can find details on Mobile Shell at the SPB website here. -------------------- "..busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest...."

You'll need ActiveSync (if you're using XP) or Windows Mobile Device Centre (for Vista) installed on your PC - it's on the CD that came in the box with your phone anyway. Generally though it's advisable to upgrade using an XP machine rather than a Vista machine - some ROM updates won't even work with Vista.
Oh and make sure you install the Samsung Modem driver as mentioned in the upgrade guide too otherwise the upgrade will fail. This post has been edited by everton2004: Oct 9 2008, 22:19 -------------------- "..busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest...."
