Guest Arda Yilmaz Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 I was once considering the HD2 but I just think it's missing too many things to be worth that much money. No tv out, low par camera, no AMOLED. So I've reduced my choices down to these two models. I want to go for the B7610 because of the keyboard, but the screen is slightly smaller. Is there much of a difference between the 3.5 and 3.7" displays? What also sort of pushes me toward the Omnia II is the availability and price compared to the Pro and also how much developer attention it's getting. Please give me your opinions in which is the better way to go. Thanks!
Guest StarDog Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Well, i can tell you what made me choose the B7610 over the Omnia II: 1- Size, the omnia II is taller and that was to me a turnout. 2- Keyboard, Although i'm a bit disappointed with the keyboard (lacks a lot of needed keys and has no caps + Fn lights like the htc) there's nothing like hardware input. 3- W&L Button, Love it and use it to switch between Samsung Today and Windows default today. 4 - Price, It was some 20 € cheaper. I'm sure there are other things but i'm pointing to you those that made a difference to me. Edited January 19, 2010 by StarDog
Guest SuperLOL Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 I have chosen the B7610 over Omnia II because for the Omnia II i had to pay 100€ more and this would definitely not worth it.
Guest tacchan23 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 I think the main point is the keyboard... if you NEED it or you can live without it
Guest Arda Yilmaz Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Okay, seems as though the Pro is the way to go here. (hey that rhymes! :)) What do you think about the dev support? Do you think we'll get as much love as the i8000's getting? If we don't I might even start cookin up my own roms!

Yeah i wrote that down as a negative point toward the Omnia's. It is disappointing but there are a few tweaks that fix the issues up a little bit adding an extra 10-20mb of ram to it. Is there a way to improve the HD2's camera in any way? Like adding better video support and a few extras to the camera such as face detection, macro etc? I guess I could live without tv out even if it disappoints me.

That's alright, I guess it was sort of a rhetorical question in a way. I'll wait for the HD3 to come out and see what that's like. Meanwhile I think I may go for the B7610. I'll post up a review of my experiences.

Crud, might have to pass on the rom cooking thing now. :) I just bought an O2 for $350AU. It has a few scratches on the back but I bought a replacement back cover from ebay for about $10 so I think I might've gotten a good deal!

So far on 6.1 there is NO LAG. I don't know what people are complaining about??? I can't see anything wrong with performance and the CPU is on normal. What are they trying to run servers of a stack of these??!! :)

I would go for the lite rom but I really like the camera app etc. and the white on black UI. I'll try the official rom and report on my findings.
