Are you gonna buy lantony ?
I'm hesitating... anyone tried it on his own device? =p

as i wrote in the first post, i would like to buy one. I was just asking if somebody has already tried, because i am a bit scared about the assemble, not sure it's so easy

you're right, multitouch can be very handy in many situations and i'm sure more and more pda will come equipped with it in the near future. But since we will never see a multitouch screen for our Omnia, please guys don't go offtopic

You are right, sorry, just realized i was trolling.

I think that's not HIS device ;p

Samsung changed the touch screen of omnia, some have the old (I do ...) which is almost bad ! xD, some have the new, quite good, something comparable to iphone one (Not really as some might say ^^, but really responsive !^^)

1. SPB shell is the latest vers. 2.1.5 plus skins
2. I didnt do nothing to my screen, just used a very thin pen for the calibration

Perhaps its related to the ROM version you're using??? I'm using Taril's DXHL3 ROM and my screen sensitivity is just like the one in the videos, and I bought my Omnia back in october 08. Before i switched to Taril's ROM, my screen wasn't as responsive and i could really tell the difference once I had switched, it was actually comparable to the iPhone/iPod Touch.

i'm on qbus dxia5 rom !!

so is taril's roms the best sensitivity ??

[lastnikita]

I never saw that samsung changed the screen.... I bought mine in august, and it's as sensitive as in the youtube vidz.
Where did you guys got that information ? If true, I might go in a shop and test new omnia to feel the difference, if any..

[GodsGift]

Guys I am really interested in this topic as the one (and only) thing I would change about my omnia is the screen sensitivity.

Using Sectors 6.5 rom and the sensitivity and accuracy is superb if I use a fingernail or a stylus.  

But I get little or no response using my fingers ....


Are these new screens that much better?

I'm also interested in this topic because I was disappointed of my Omnia as it's sensitivity is not what I expect. I once tried my brother's HTC P3600 and I was impressed by the touch sensitivity. Should Samsung Support change my screen for FREE as it is still under warranty?
Anyone tried it ?

Your ROM is fine since it's the latest official available. There are some tricks to improve the sensitivity but if you have the old touch, there's nothing more you can do.

I can garantee you that here in Italy if your Omnia has touch problems you just go in a Samsung service centre and they replace your old touch panel completely free if the phone is under warranty. So many people did it successfully and they couldn't believe to the difference with the new touch screen:  no pressure and no need for nails !!!
But if your sensitivity is quite good now, maybe they won't change it. There's not really a way to find out if you have the old or the new touch but there is something to try:
try to drag a Samsung widget with your pinkie just with a soft pressure. If you are not able to do it that means that you have the old touch screen. I am able to do it so i should have the better touch, but i would like to replace it with the black one that is so cool! That's why i started this topic: wanted to know if anybody replaced it yet, the black touch is cheap on ebay.

I've asked the German Samsung Support and they say: There is no new Hardware or something else they never changed anything on the Omnia Hardware and no they dont replace it for free.
