Guest Mayhs Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Garmin XT is 'offboard' navigation, so doesn't use any data. P so how does it work/track where you are? --- and rossy i guess ebay is the best thing to do...only about £100 difference if you sell it on ebay and the the omnia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mayhs Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 GPS != GPRS... P ah right...yeah but the phone does do GPRS too doesnt it? how much data does that use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Er GPRS IS the mobile data connection, so what you use depends on what you do (e.g. surfing etc.) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest noct Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 From Orange high street stores, i can say the Omnia on offer from O. is 16gb. It's in black & white (or black and orange shall i say): '16GB internal memory' as printed on the phone description. I wish i could verify that on the phone, tho there's no demo available (only dummies). can anyone who got an omnia from Orange confirm it is indeed 16GB?

A few of us are getting it tomorrow.. the earliest you can get it from upgrades/orange direct.. I played with a real one in an Orange store on Oxford St on Saturday but didnt look at mem.. I am sure it is 16gb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 A guy on trickery.net got one on orange today, and it was deffo 16GB. http://www.trickery.net/vb/showthread.php?t=49906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wonder which software version? Hope it's not Orange customised! I want one of the white i900s now :D P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rossy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 should I go on a mission to get my diamond swapped for an Omnia (is it worth it???)...... I have had a lot of problems with Orange recently and am considering sending an email to the executive team (perhaps worth a try). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fenomeno83 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I have post my request in about 5-6 forums..noone can upoload 1-2 or 3 videos take with omnia :D I d0nt understand why..I'd see quality of videos with new rom, because in Italy there is old rom and video aren't good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rossy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Why do you want to swap? P I don't actually know!!! I do really like my diamond, but am frustrated by the battery life and the lack of camera flash etc...... and the Omnia seems to win on these features. If they had both come out on the same date..... which would you have gone for? (please don't say both!!!!) Thanks R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I am really liking the camera and battery life (coincidentally!), so I would ultimately have chosen the i900 I think. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest starstrike Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 My Omnia has come from Orange! It is Factory boxed (like Paul's) and 16gb with a getting started card/booklet from Orange and the sim put in the top. The best phone I have ever got from Orange I am sure it will be unlocked as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
