Guest IBTECH Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Here I found detailed specs of new CPU http://www.samsung.com/eu/business/semicon...ads/S3C6410.pdf OpenGL ES supported! Yes the chip supports OpenGL ES, but the question is...will they actually include the drivers so we can use it. I made the mistake and bought the acer M900 (which I am now replacing with the Omnia II) and it has the same processor as the Omnia II only clocked at 533Mhz. Acer did not include any drivers for OpenGL ES even though the cheap can support it. I hope that Samsung will do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FerdiBorbon Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Unbelievable!!! i just got the phone today and only using it for 30 mins it coped a scratch on it already on the screen...man thats why resistive touch is annoying its not scratch proof! man im really bummed is there anyways to remove light scratches from the screen??

(That said the new Omnia II interface looks better anyway)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Apo11on Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 HTC is trying to compete: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/07/22/...mmm-snapdragon/ This beast needs more storage space and better camera, otherwise it's a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chokia Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 HTC is trying to compete: http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/07/22/...mmm-snapdragon/ This beast needs more storage space and better camera, otherwise it's a winner if the screen is 4.3" and yet still have bottom button area, I wonder how huge is HTC Leo/Firestones in size. Toshiba TG01 with 4.1" and still with huge top and bottom spacing already too long for my taste. Anyway the closest to Omnia II screen quality is Omnia I8910 HD with 3.7" AMOLED but only HVGA resolution (similar to iphone) not WVGA. Of course the former is capacitive and Omnia II's is advanced resistive. Some owners of both phone said the latter is better. In fact some onwers of iphone 3GS and Omnia II claimed that the latter is 98% of the former in terms of sensitivity and usability. I think that's not bad at all for Advanced Resistive. Perhaps the 2% lack is due to placebo effect of that fancy eye candy transition of Iphone UI that has nothing to do with the speed of opening application.

Guest FerdiBorbon Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ive had an i phone for 3 days before now having my Omnia II i can honestly say that the touch responsivenes is probably only 10-15% lower than the i phone...so definitely the advance resistive screen is beter than the original Omnia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's multitouch. winmo also has color space restriction, i believe 18bit colors is the max it can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quang05BlkBoxsterS n Omnia Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I will be ordering my i8000 next Friday!!!!!!! I feel good baby!!!!!!! Daddy wants a new gadget :( ;) :huh: :angry: !!!!!!! I am such shameless whore4tech :) ;) <_< LOL, what a whore u r! But wait until the N.A version is available and let me know how it is. I am still undecided due to some unpleasant drawbacks from its performance. Faithful i900 still serves me good (and bad occasionally with the DXID1 custom rom). I might go back to DXIA5.

Guest mementomori Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 i definitly like the specs of the omnia 2 but then again i might switch to the omnia pro (the slider since there are two pro's) since i miss the keyboard from prev. winmo devices...anyway im hearing not much (i didnt check all the pages of this topic) about the screen concerning visibility..from the reviews i read on pocketnow etc i get the impressing that visibillity om the omnia 2 is again like with the omnia poor with full sunlight. This i find quite troubling since this is basicly my biggest issue with my beloved omnia. i dont understand why since the touchpro 2 (which has lesser specs) actually gets a good review on visibility with sunlight.. i feel this is a big miss and could be the only reason for me not to go with the omnia 2 or pro. So im also checking how the xperia 2 will do spec wise. is there anyone who can comment on the visibility? greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Core Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I would say visibility in the sun is much better than the i900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest severance Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 hi you all! for who bought omnia 2: if you disable touchwiz, how much available ram you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Airwave11 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 For all the lucky owners... How is the touchscreen? And the speed? Is the Omnia II more reactive than the Omnia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tim1979 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I just switch to omnia 2 , Disable touchwiget, ram = 80+ with spb3 install. Damn this phone is fast with respect to omnia 1. Which i own before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which i own before. How did you disable it completely? The only thing I'm able to do is "general setting->Samsung TouchWix UI->disable". This however disables only the shortcut from "start" to the samsung productivity menu. Could you please advise on the procedure.

Guest Quang05BlkBoxsterS n Omnia Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I second that. Is there a comparison video to confirm that if you can make one? I saw one on youtube for the i8910 Omnia HD vs iphone but it got cheated because after the first few seconds when both looked about the same, the HD screen got locked out and looked very dim.

By spb3 I assume you are referring to SPB mobile shell 3, right? If so I just installed it. Is there any way to redirect the taps on the messages and call phones to the original omnia II applications. When I tap them I get the old and ugly WM6 applications. BTW with spm mobile shell 3 this phone flies, I can say it is as fast as an Iphone...if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ver3 is like Android UI but I wish each spin page has its own customisable background. But bad if wm apps still shows up :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume u know how to add a widget. add widget - > find the link/program , as for the build in samsung sms/mms should be name "SMS-MMS" . Add this and u can access the nice samsung interface to your SPB For those call log etc... that is not listed in the program list from spb when adding widget, What u need to do is to 1) Find those app name in \windows 2) create short link to "\windows\start menu\programs". 3) Add widget in spb , u will find them there.
