how is the Phone GPS ??

I was planning to buy it , but I heard it has major GPS problem , i heard it is very slow to get a signal ?? can install Garmin XT

from the current users I want to ask is it true ...??

any other reason not to get this phone , it is quite expensive so i want to be very sure before I buy it...??

it seems like a nice phone i played with it in the shop.

yes, GPS is not as quick as HTC models.
if u are a heavy GPS user,go for HTC then.
other than that,omnia2 rocks!

alright thank you ..

pity they didn't enhance its GPS, everything about this phone is great , camera, such beautiful screen , and so fast and responsive ...

I have decided to buy this phone...

any good dealer you guys recommend in Sunway Pyramid ...???

is it okay if i buy from the Samsung shop in pyramid near jusco there , I want to get a ori set , I never had a Samsung unit before which company in Malaysia is in charge of that (for e.g. Nokia is zitron that is what i mean),?

what are the stickers i should check for when i am buying it.? sorry for sounding such a noob , it is lot of money , and i like an expert opinion , don't want to regret it.

what comes in the box?? , i am very interested to know if any memory card comes in the box ( how many gig) ??

and also how to upgrade to 6.5 is it done through software Samsung gives with the CD when u buy the phone??

Samsung official not release firmware updates yet.

If you want WM 6.5 now, then you need to flash your own.

really oh man , i thought since it is Samsung offical retail , I get a good price from them.

Damn...

well at least the future buyers know , where not to go to buy it .... DO NOT BUY FROM THE SAMSUNG SHOP IN THE SUNWAY PYRAMID Opposite the Jusco , i think second floor , blue corridor.

but I still love my Omnia II , it is really nice , the best phone I ever had ....

cannot get GPS maps on it , I can install garmin no problem , but the maps don't work Haihzz... any tips ??

anyone where should I refer to ?? I already went to MalSing Map site and read their Wiki ,it didn't help..

It's in the same concourse as the harvey norman, i think. beside the escalator.

if u install the garmin app only, it wont work, u have to install the base map and support files as well.
*
No it is not the same concourse as Harvey Norman... it is in the blue concourse , same concourse in J.Co Donuts if you guys like donuts you know where, and also same concourse as Italia Pasta Shop or something like that...

if u happen to go there to ask for price or anything and the guy comes , if he give you the same price as me , tell him you cheat my friend already i am not going to buy from you.


I already install the support file , and the base map , but after i log in and i also install the MalSing Map set , and than when I open the software it says no map...

That's why it literally pays for you to research first before making any purchase.

I've been doing that and I think SG sets are equally good if you know how to take care of your phone.

well i learnt my lesson , the course cost me almost RM 400 hahha...

how to copy Avi files into the phone and start watching

???

well I just dragged them to the storage and started playing them using the Touch Player , there is no need for conversion , it supports Divx, you just update the touch player library after you imported the files and start playing them , or you can go through file manager.

yes,upgradable by yourself,but not now..wait till it's out.hehe~
jet is samsung ui based,OII is Winmo based,highly customizable.
OII do not lag,samsung UI itself lag.mayb future firmware will fix that.
anyway,there's always 3rd part UI that u can use like SPB/PointUI.

is there any word on when is the official release of win mobile 6.5 update for OII?

you don't have to use the Samsung software for that but i assume it doesn't hurt also , just copy to the storage through windows explorer.

Yea i do too and it is useful , if it was just a bit faster and I could add one more page to home screen , that would have been better.
But it is good for me now.....

my review LOVING IT. U should get it ... however if you never had WinMobile Phone you might not get it , if you had than get this cause it doesn't get any better than this in my opinion , gorgeous big screen , a good camera , and it is fast , plus it is win mobile which means highly customizable ,
