Guest surethom Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 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.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Guest Airwave11 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 For all the lucky owners... How is the touchscreen? And the speed? Is the Omnia II more reactive than the Omnia? 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jkgtan Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like if u were a english, u dont need a chinese input. Use this input for chinese, Touchpal v3.5 , v4 is out, but i prefer version 3.5. http://www.cootek.com/ install the touchpal.cab first, follow by the chinese pack U will be able to input chinese with english. if u want to write in chinese, pls install 蒙恬手写输入法.cab MOD EDIT: Warez is prohibited.

But it is no iPhone or even i8910... resistive will never mach the capacitive... don't compare apples to oranges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems that my Omnia has a very hard screen, harder than my friends' HTC... So I think I will take the i8000!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cocoaju Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Anyone installed CE-Star on this? I read on an XDA page, that this doesn't work properly or some what. I asked the guy again but he couldn't describe it and the next thing I know was he sold it because he thought the UI is too slow, hard to get in the email folders or something and he didn't know how to switch off the UI. Anyway, being able to read Chinese content is the most important thing for me. I don't want to by a Chinese model as I think the characters looks horrible. I only need it to read emails and sms. Can anyone help? Also, if you switched off the UI, are you able to view threaded sms? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your unit from Singapore, then I can guarantee it support for reading back the following language without any problem. CE-Star is not needed. Viewing supported language: - Chinese - Japanese - Korean - Russian The only language I notice not viewable at the moment is Thai. For Chinese or others non English input language, what you need is just install a third party keyboard. Example great keyboard I found is TouchPal 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't got mines yet. I am still waiting for it to come out in Hong Kong. Grey Imports are 1000 bucks (HKD) more than the expected RRP. No way I am paying 25 - 30% more. Rather wait for a couple of weeks. I just want to make sure it does read chinese because my Touch HD, doesn't and needs CE-Star for it to read chinese. So it is a big plus for it reader chinese characters. The other thing why I need CE-Star is that I need Pen Power. A transcibing software. I suck in typing in strokes or Pinyin. I can never get the characters I want. I end up taking ages looking for the correct word. Any suggestions for a good hand-writing inputting software? Or do you think the i8000 will come with one when it gets released in Hong Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chokia Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 How come the design for singapore version is like the pre released version (looks the similar to samsung jet) and not the one that samsung recently updated?

Do you actually have the i8000 and it supports all those Asian languages? Because endursa ordered his i8000 from Singapore and he said it only supports english (uk), french, italian, german, russian, norwegian, dutch, czech, greek, spanish, portuguese, finnish, danish, polish and swedish. Are there different models on sale in Singapore and, if so, how can you make sure you get one that supports Asian languages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I believe what endursa meant was that the phone is able to run on the OS with those languages, i.e. even the menus in the phone are in those languages. What tim1979 meant about language support is that Omnia II runs English OS, but is able to read those languages, i.e. able to display those languages when you receive an SMS, email or when you surf to websites with those languages. Hope this clarifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
