It is a beauty!

Arghh, dont say that Paul I still have until the 10th Sept untill I can upgrade to the Omnia! I just hope by that time Orange havent branded the handset and filled it with pointless software (removing loads of decent stuff as well no doubt).

As for these "haptics"...which from playing with the Voda and Orange handsets I just can get enough of. I hear some are missing in the most recent updates??? Any details on this?

Im told Orange have agreed not to brand the handset, as part of the terms of the 6 week exclusive

Helix, if you are already with orange and your contract ends on the 10th September then just give them a call and they should upgrade you early, I got my upgrade about 2 weeks ago and my contract didn't run out untill the middle of October, they just add what you have left to the end of your next contract!!! :D

I had to wait until I was in the last month of my contract. But I rang them today at lunch time and just my luck, they have currently run out of stock.

Lets just hope they dont brand the next batch. I have already stopped using my TyTn 2. Still, it has given me time to request my MAC code just incase something tempts me elsewhere.

I have been told that if you buy the Omnia from one of the independent retailers (CPW or Phones4u) it will most likely be unbranded and unlocked as they keep a common stock of handsets for all operators. Their tariff deals are not as good though.

Hey helix if you are on orange & planning to keep the same contract then you can update now, my date was the 10'th as well & i updated mines on bank-holiday saturday, phone was delivered tuesday 26th, also got it free. I'm on £35 mth cont. they tried to charge me £199.99 but i asked the guy how much it was free & I think he picked up I was gonna change networks to get it soz he gave it to me. only down fall is i'm currently awaiting my 4th replacement as i kept getting the wifi/suspend bug, had battery discharge overnight & have a bluetooth problem. Fixed myself yesterday thanks to Paul's rom though, tested dxhh1 leaked rom & fixed most of the probs all except bluetooth. Guess when enough people start complaining the will look into it or some one here may figure out why the phone is like a x'mas tree when talking via bluetooth, till then got myself a car charger.

Hi there,

I'm a noob but getting to grips with this flashing malarky. Think I understand it now

...however...

When try to change to Singapore (using those codes) I don't have Singapore as an option...so as you can see I'm pretty much stuck at that stage!!

I'm looking to upgrade the ROM and get rid of all the fudging Orange branding (which is driving me nuts!)

*Orange versions of widget...stupid grey and orange colour

*Different Main menu (again with horrible orange and grey icons)

*USELESS orange apps.

any ideas?

Oh also can you back it up so you can switch it back to branded version in case of anything going wrong later down the line and having to use my warranty? Or would they not know about it?

Ta very much for your help in advance, I've been spending days trying to suss this out! trawling the net!

:lol:
