1. You need to download the ROM here: http://www.samsungmo...omnia/index.jsp
2. You need Windows XP (no Vista)

Then:
1. Install ActiveSync
2. Install Samsung Modem Driver XP
3. Click on the ROM and follow instructions

More information here: http://www.modaco.co...00-omnia-phone/

Good luck!

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't this the second time that you've started this topic?  I remember also answering this question one or two days ago.

In any case, everything that Foxmylife has said is correct, but be cautioned!  You have a branded phone and I've read in other threads here in the past that some brands - particularly Vodafone - are not so simple to flash over, even with an official Samsung ROM.  My own advice would be to do a search here in this forum section on flashing branded phones.  In addition, an official ROM would also limit you to your specific region, or country in the world whereas, a custom ROM won't.  However, flashing a custom ROM will void your warranty the moment you install it.

The best thing that you can do first is to educate yourself on flashing in general.  Do this by visiting the pinned topic at the very top of the front page of this ROM section of the Omnia forum.
