Goodbye Omnia

[Guest thepeoplesclub]

Just want to say a big thank you to everyone here who has contributed to this great forum and all the programs and tweaks that made my i900 a joy to have. Sadly I broke my omnia by dropping it in the toilet at a restaraunt, don't ask. So my i900 was totally water damaged, and had to send it off to my insurance company to repair. Sadly they couldn't fix it and tried to get me a replacement handset. And now they have told me I couldn't receive an omnia so offered me some poorer devices in my eyes. I eventually settled on getting a HTC diamond 2, which is looks a good phone but I will defintely miss my omnia.

I will keep looking on this forum and hopefully pick up some good things for my new phone, but thanks again for the best omnia forum on the internet  <_<

sell the diamond 2 and get urself an omnia B) u'll most likely get some spare $$ along with it <_<

but the diamond 2 could be fun :) let us know how it goes

I thought this was going to be the ubiquitous "bye omnia forum I bought a worthless iphone and i'm gay" thread, but it's not. Congrats.

Diamond 2 is a decent phone.

My omnia met a similar fate. It still works but needs a new housing and seems to freeze when using touchflo now.

you should take this deal! but make sure you make up a contract incase the onmia doesnt work or something you can make sure you get your phone back

Ha ha great replies, no way would I even consider an iphone because I'm too clever and good with computers to have one of them! I will recieve my diamond 2 in a couple of days, so I'll let you know what I think and how it compares to my omnia. There's no way I would ever dis my omnia because it's one hell of a phone, but I am looking forward to trying the diamond 2 even tho the camera will be poor compared to our i900 <_<

[Guest davedes]

play around with it & if you still up to it let me know we can draw up a contract...

a friend bought a Asus P835(codename galaxy something) , tried it and it is surprising good, looks like a Touch HD, but hell of a lot cheaper..

The Omnia was the best in it's class, but it has been outclassed.. well, almost... <_< I wouldn't re buy my Omnia if it I damaged it because it is already passed it's prime (and the new ROMs for it are getting lesser each day).. but it is a damn good phone..

We have crap for phone choices here in the US, and even worse choices if we are on Verizon Wireless because of their CDMA network. Its a miracle we even got our hands on the omnia. I can't wait for LTE to become the standard.

I would buy TouchPRo 2 if it has 5 MP, but unfortunately it's only 3.2. The diamond 2 on the other hand has 5MP but no flash. So forget about these products. I dont buy phone just because it has high res or fancy screen, there are other features to consider.

Never occured to even look at the non-video call phones like palm pre or android or iphone 3g either.

I'm still waiting for the true WM6.5/6.7/7.0 OmniaHD (not symbian one). If that taking too long, then OmniaPRO will be my next buy, replacing this Omnia. (provided it comes with 8MP camera, WM6.5 and bigger screen)

Agreed, OmniaHD run WinMo would be great!! Any news?

[Guest Solange82200]

Im confused, isnt the Diamond 2 a little better than the Omnia, since its newer? Dont get me wrong, I love my Omnia, and I dont plan on changing it for at least a year, but if there is no chance they will give him an Omnia, and are willing to give you a newer Diamond 2, why would he switch it for a used Omnia? Just curious, if the Omnia has better specs, let me know, that will make me feel good lol

Had my Touch Diamond 2 now for a couple of days now and to be honest I'm well impressed. It's not a massive step up from my omnia but it feels a bit smoother and quicker. Touchflo 3d is fantasic, I had touchflo 2 on i900 but this one has the obvious animations but has extra menus for contacts etc and really runs fast with no lag. I have mobile shell 3 running and tf3d at the same time with no problems. I had IGO8 on my omnia which is the best gps program I have used, I installed it on my diamond and it worked first time. Didn't have to do a thing, the gps locked on straight away and it seams to run a bit smoother on the diamond. The screen is 480x800 WVGA and looks fantastic browsing and viewing photos etc. Even the supplied qwerty sip is great, never miss a letter on the T9 and won't be installing another one like touchpal etc because you don't need one.

The only downsides are the camera, no flash, no designated camera button and the camera is a bit slower to take a photo. It's 5mp and takes quality pics but I do miss my omnia's camera. It has no dpad, no finger mouse lol, and the g sensor only auto rotates in certain applications but there is a way round this apparently. Overall I'm glad it feels like a slight upgrade, so if anyone wants an omnia upgrade but something similar then I definitely recommend it. I will hang around this forum as I know I will pick up handy stuff for my phone, I will have to go xda because the topaz forum here is a bit too quiet but thanks again for this forum.
