Guest c0n3 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I just received 2x Omnia Pro B7610, called omnia qwerty in the Netherlands today from the Vodafone shop. My first impression overall is quite positive although the device is a little thicker than I expected, but that's ofcourse caused by the qwerty keyboard. The phone is responding quite fast, but sometimes seems to hang for some time, and can be controlled really well with the new touchwiz interface. I expect the speed will further improve with upcoming firmware updates. The keyboard i.m.o. is excellent developed, it is stable and responding really accurate. Running windows mobile 6.1, update to WM6.5 promised to be available within a couple of weeks Firmware version of my Dutch Language Vodafone phone: PDA B7610BUIH1 / Phone B7610BUIH1 Edited September 11, 2009 by c0n3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we will see about that. Also If you remove of disable the touchwiz and todaywidget's and let's say install spb shell the device is much much quicker!

Does it have Vodafone customization? Did you get the 6.5 update yet? I´ve been waiting for Vodafone NL to deliver mine, might still be a while as apparently they didn´t get new stock of the device until today.

Got mine from Vodafone a week ago, no customization but it's simlock free for some reason, so that's awesome. Samsung say the B7610 gets wm 6.5 in November.

Guest kibiwi Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Are the upgrade to wm 6.5 available in Netherlands?I read something like that on official site of samsung on the page of the support, but Dutch is not my spoken language so maybe I am wrong...

It looks like it isn't yet available. I just downloaded the latest NPS (1.3.0.II4) but it still says the device isn't supported when looking for software updates. Could you maybe send the URL of the page where you think you saw it announced? Edit: just found 1.3.0.IJ1 but it still doesn't allow device updates.

Guest JeroenFransen Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 nice, according to that link we can update mid october...so seems very soon and the november predictions everywhere were wrong. Wan´t mid October some time around midnight last night? Seriously, I just checked again from Windows 7 and from XP and device is still not recognized... I just got the phone this week and was hoping to put WinMo 6.5 (or even better: a custom rom without Touchwiz and replacing it with Manila 2.6) before personalising everything and loading all my data on it.

Guest dagrim1 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Anyone heard about final availability date? I still don't see it around anywhere and it's 20th October now. There was a video where someone from samsung said the win6.5 update for the b7610 would be available in november. I could post a link but the video is in dutch so I dunno how useful it would be :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Textually they say "De Samsung Omnia II en Omnia Qwerty zijn vanaf medio oktober 2009 gratis te upgraden naar Windows Mobile 6.5." (emphasis is mine). Hopefully they didn't get their messages mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
