I will be ordering my i8000 next Friday!!!!!!! I feel good baby!!!!!!! Daddy wants a new gadget        !!!!!!! I am such shameless whore4tech     

LOL, what a whore u r! But wait until the N.A version is available and let me know how it is. I am still undecided due to some unpleasant drawbacks from its performance. Faithful i900 still serves me good (and bad occasionally with the DXID1 custom rom). I might go back to DXIA5.

i definitly like the specs of the omnia 2 but then again i might switch to the omnia pro (the slider since there are two pro's) since i miss the keyboard from prev. winmo devices...anyway im hearing not much (i didnt check all the pages of this topic) about the screen concerning visibility..from the reviews i read on pocketnow etc i get the impressing that visibillity om the omnia 2 is again like with the omnia poor with full sunlight. This i find quite troubling since this is basicly my biggest issue with my beloved omnia. i dont understand why since the touchpro 2 (which has lesser specs) actually gets a good review on visibility with sunlight.. i feel this is a big miss and could be the only reason for me not to go with the omnia 2 or pro. So im also checking how the xperia 2 will do spec wise.

is there anyone who can comment on the visibility?

greetings

I would say visibility in the sun is much better than the i900

hi you all! for who bought omnia 2: if you disable touchwiz, how much available ram you have?

[Airwave11]

For all the lucky owners...

How is the touchscreen? And the speed? Is the Omnia II more reactive than the Omnia?

I just switch to omnia 2 ,

Disable touchwiget, ram = 80+ with spb3 install.
Damn this phone is fast with respect to omnia 1. Which i own before.

How did you disable it completely? The only thing I'm able to do is "general setting->Samsung TouchWix UI->disable".
This however disables only the shortcut from "start" to the samsung productivity menu.
Could you please advise on the procedure.
Thanks

Is there a comparison video to confirm that if you can make one? I saw one on youtube for the i8910 Omnia HD vs iphone but it got cheated because after the first few seconds when both looked about the same, the HD screen got locked out and looked very dim.

Go to setting(from start button) - > today(on personal tab) - > goto items tab - > uncheck Samsung WidgetPlus

done, this will disable the samsung widget, then u can install spb3 to replace the plain today screen

Thanks. By spb3 I assume you are referring to SPB mobile shell 3, right? If so I just installed it. Is there any way to redirect the taps on the messages and call phones to the original omnia II applications. When I tap them I get the old and ugly WM6 applications.
BTW with spm mobile shell 3 this phone flies, I can say it is as fast as an Iphone...if not more.

I told you so SBP is FAST, ver2 is even faster but kinda like all others' std boring grid like icons. Ver3 is like Android UI but I wish each spin page has its own customisable background. But bad if wm apps still shows up .

Hi,

For your question, its possible.

I assume u know how to add a widget.

add widget - > find the link/program , as for the build in samsung sms/mms should be name
"SMS-MMS" .

Add this and u can access the nice samsung interface to your SPB


For those call log etc... that is not listed in the program list from spb when adding widget,
What u need to do is to
1) Find those app name in \windows
2) create short link to "\windows\start menu\programs".
3) Add widget in spb , u will find them there.

O My God Why are the widgets so MASSIVE the unit converter should be a small widget & when u click on it it should open up, WHY does Samsung create MASSIVE widgets they should create ones like Android / SPB Mobile shell 3, Samsung needs to get in the real world & sort them selfs out, this is my next phone but with Widgets 5 times the size they need to be I will be very disappointed..

True!
Hardware is very good by Samsung but on software side they REALLY NEED TO LEARN how to be more CREATIVE, EXPERTISE and REALISTIC like Apple or Google: FAST FLUID UI with just visible enough icons, don't blame this on MS because I've seen nice fluid winmo apps so iphone UI like.

Sorry to insist but I need some feed back of the  sensitive screen... I know that the screen is resistive, but how is the screen exactly? could you please compare with another phone?





I really want a responsive phone, and for me it will be the I8000 or the i8910... But I prefer WinMo than Symbian...

Thanks in advance!

Buy any fool proof hand phone around S$200 it will come with Chinese input.
Am shock Omnia 2 at S$898 don't come with this basic feature.
