Hey, add me to the list. Just bought one for my wife. Now i have to ends up as technical support for her also...

Say, can anyone advice me how to copy the contacts from SE K750i to Omnia II? I read a bit somewhere suggesting to sync old phone to MS-OUTLOOK and then from MS-OUTLOOK sync to Omnia??

Now i hsave shit load of problem trying to sync the SE K750i to the notebook. It has gazillion problems with bluetooth (ie, doesn't work) and now i use the USB cable, it can detect the phone, but the sync still fails...

Sony Ericsson PC Suite is utterly crap compared to Nokia PC Suite, which has tons of features and more importantly, IT WORKS. Sigh...now still trying to figure out how to get those contacts in...i wonder if i can send from the K750i to Omnia II directly via BlueTooth...wishful thinking....

I've finally managed to transfer my contacts from K750i to Omnia II...long story...

anyway, now got another problem. I bougth a 8GB SDHC card for the phone. How do i format it? I don't even know where to check the storage availability of the phone! It's so much easier on a Symbian...Maybe Omnia too canggih..too much function ler...

Thanks. Found that out last night after much searching. It's at the bottom of the screen...needs to scroll down then only can see.

Ok, now, is there a way to have a 'NEW SMS' shortcut on the homescreen somewhere? I think i found some method by using a shortcut to a 'tmail.exe' program. Is there any more elegant way? Basically, i want a button to click and enable SMS to blank ID, which i then can select. Currently, it can only be select name from list of contacts, then only select NEW SMS.

I just got the phone....better let Samsung update for me...if it's screw up, then it's their responsibility....if i screw up, RM2k++ gone down the drain....

Help! I've installed spb 3.5...but how do i disable it to get back to Samsung's UI? i've already set enable Samsung UI, but it still shows me SPB shell!

Not now. My wife just start using the phone, suddenly i go change her UI, sure kena wan...lol.

Anyway, i've uninstall the SPB 3.5, but the problem is, the bottom right shortcut which is previously 'PhoneBook' still appears as 'SPBHOME' and when i click it it gives an error message........finally, i've to do a factory reset....and re-sync back all the contacts from the PC....

Frankly, this is my first experience with Win Mobile....can't say i like it.....i still think my Nokia 5800 Symbian OS much more user friendly despite not having so many fancy eye candy.

btw, how do i make the OMNIA II rotates?? It seems only to rotate in SMS screen...other screens cannot? Symbian OS does a much better job at this really...
Having a vertical screen for QWERTY key-ing in sucks.....

Is there somewhere to set this so that it will rotate to landscape whenever i turn it?

Maybe someone should call Samsung support and see if it's availble for firmware updates for Winmob 6.5 at the SC?

I've called. They dunno when the 6.5 will be available. Said MS hasn't informed them.

Probably, still, whatever the reason, it is still not available yet.

Come to think of it. It's still 5th October 2009 in the US now? So maybe it'll be release tomorrow.

In the meantime, you guys can read up on a WinMo 6.5 review here...

Urrghhh....is that what it's about??/ Honeycombs??? SPB 3.5 looks better wor...

May i ask, where did you get this firmware and from which country? Is it compatible with local sets?? Still nothing on official Samsung website ler.

I'm confused regarding the firmware.

Do i have to download and flash those ****WM65.zip.00x files or i just download the i8000NXXHJ6 zip files?? Why got 2???

I think it's pretty standard. For RRP RM2399, you get everything...including bluetooh headset + 4GB card. If you buy the discounted set, usually around RM2050, it'll exclude these two items, but include other basic stuff like charger, headphone, USB cable, pouch, stylus and CD.

Added on October 17, 2009, 3:32 pmThanks. One more question. Is it possible to backup existing ROM so that i can flash back to ori ROM if anything goes wrong?? Any guides?

RM2399 can get anywhere. RM2050 can get in Lowyat (without Bluetooth + 4GB card). U can check out Garage Sales too. Some people are now selling at RM2030.

btw, i'm currently using SPB 3.5, after much tinkering, i think this is a much superior shell then Samsung...not to mentioned way faster too! Heck, now i don't even bother about WinMo 6.5...

I've downloaded the VITO Chat...seriously, this is how SMS should be, not that clunky horrible WinMo SMS editor, which Samsung TouchWiz UI is based on. SMS threading, easy fowarding, multiple recipient etc are added easily. My wife will love this.

I almost regret buying this phone coz she keeps complaining so many user unfriendliness issues...

So far this is what my wife has complained and how i resolve it....life is tough for the husband who has to do technical support for the wife!!!

1) No direct way of creating NEW SMS - default Samsung interface goes into WinMo with clunkiness that requires like 3 steps to create new SMS.
Solution: Create a shortcut link to the TMAIL.EXE(with parameters) and dump it into the \Windows\Menu folder.

2) Sorting of contacts by Last Name, then First Name... I wonder who remember people by their surname first...
Solution: Use a software called 'Contact Changer v13'. (Thanks to the guys here!)

3) Cannot foward SMS!!!
Solution: The option is hidden in the Reply->Foward menu option in WinMo SMS...really stupid design. Solved by VITA SMS. So easy to use!

With SPB 3.5, the usability is so much better, but i miss something from Samsung widget though. Can i get those widget to run in SPB 3.5? Like Yahoo FInance...this is very useful to keep the fav stock code in the list.

Any ideas??

Guys...i have another problem now with SPB 3.5....

In the left Homescreen, there was a nice big widget that shows many weather info by default. I've accidentally removed that widget and can't find it again. There's only a small widget that shows the detail when you press it, but the default widget shows many info in a medium sized box.

How to get it back??

Thanks! I thought 'Change Skin' is to change background color/picture, so never bother to press it!

AS for the Samsung Widget Plus, what i meant is , is there a way to drag those widget into SPB homescreen?

Ask uncle Google for other 'cheaper' alternative....

What's the difference between Class 10 and 12 anyway? Use 3G/HSDPA lar...faster mah.

Just disable the A-GPS in the Samsung TouchWiz menu. It is called 'XTRA something'. Anyway, an A-GPS lock will only cost you 10 cents or so. No big deal.
