Did anyone check the video rec. quality next to a n95-8gig? Especialy the frame rate and color rendition? Please help. Video recording is very important for me.
Posted by dainesefreak
I'm afraid I've never used/owned an N95 8gig. The clip I took when I first got is the best video recording I've ever seen from a mobile; although my previous phones capable of video were the i900 and lots of SE's and they weren't great.
I have to say that since I got it on Wednesday I've played about with it constantly and it all works really well. As with the previous Omnia I really like the fact that I can throw Xvid and Divx at it with no conversion and it just plays them. In fact I'd have to say that it's the best handset I've owned so far and I've been a mobile user since the early days of analogue. I'm sure it will be even better when it's de-branded too.

ANy bugs or other disappointments yet with the HD guys? Smooth sailing?

The mail client isn't as good as the WinMo client. Manual setup and my mail only auto retrieves if I use the service provider internet 3g access point. If I stick it on default were it searches for my Wifi connection then defaults to the 3g service it doesn't pull down new mail unless I manually connect and select the access point. Fortuantely I've got unlimited web so I just leave it on the provider 3g service.
There's nothing else really that's any worse. The camera, touchscreen, text input, hardware and UI speed more than make up for it. I still think it's the best handset I've owned, the i900 was sort of nearly there but this is much better. Still happy, although I'll be even more so when the Orange Firmware has gone.

Can you connect to MS Exchange?
Posted by dainesefreak
I haven't tried it but there's a Exchange direct push client installed on the phone called Roadsync.
DataViz Roadsync

aparently the FM transmitter can be activated in the Omnia HD, this was posted in mobile-review forum:
you gotta type #22822*# and then the call button to enter the manufacturer-mode.
here you can activate the fm-transmitter by dialing 110993383 + call button. it should appear in Options in Music Player

or another method is to try the hard reset code *#7370#
Posted by dainesefreak
#22822*# doesn't do anything and *#7370# is just a hard reset, it just formats the phone and puts everything back to default. Neither of these will do anything for an FM Transmitter I'm afraid.
Posted by Radu_91
well this methods were posted over at mobile-review and telefon-treff and i thought it might help so i posted them here
Posted by dainesefreak
There is currently a big ? over whether the device has an FM Transmiter onboard. It's definately not available with the current Firmware if there is one.

Ok I'm even more impressed now I've debranded the Orange shite Firmware. Phone is even quicker and all of those lovely apps are back.

Where did you get the de brand done, or what online provider did you use to de brand.
Cheers

Have a look here for a guide http://samsungi8910omnia.com/[....]ving-orange-with-new-firmware/
It will cost you 15 Euros to download the Firmware as Samsung haven't officially released it yet. There's also a "How to" PDF guide on the share4.gsm site where you download the files and the Admin is very helpful if you have a problem.
Make sure you do a backup first and restore everything other than the phone settings otherwise you'll end up with a load of the Orange crap back on there. You will have to set up the settings again such a ringtones, alerts, wallpapers, etc after the phone is debranded; it was well worth it in my case. The phone is now back as Samsung intended with all of the real apps back.

Thanks for the reply, I used my friend google last night and found the same site.
I can confirm that indeed its all good, and works perfectly.
I even managed to re download the Orange Maps and install (seeing as its free on my tariff)
All good

How's the web browser compare to the iPhone? Is it as fast and responsive? Easy to zoom in and out? I'd really only miss the auto word correction of the iPhone. Does it need going back and fixing words again or is it generally quite accurate? Looks like a great phone just not into s60 much, but not tried s60 touch.
Posted by dainesefreak
Sorry I've never owned or used an iPhone. I prefer the browser to Opera on the i900 as it's got full Flash support and I find it far less fiddly to use.
The text entry again is much nicer than the i900 due to the keyboard size and responsiveness of the screen. You can do T9 with the keypad or free text with the full screen QWERTY; there currently is no T9 with the full screen QWERTY. I prefer and am now pretty quick with the full screen keyboard.

Had mine for about 12 hours now. I'm pretty impressed with it.
Let's see how the next few days of use turn out to be.
Here is a pic I took some hours ago.
Macro mode everything else is on default.

Sorry I have only debranded the Firmware on mine not unlocked it from the Orange network. There are a couple of websites around offering unlocking now for around £20-25 though.
