just wondering..it is possible to upgrade to wm 6.5 ourselves? i'm deciding whether to get fmg set or SG set...although the price difference is only 200 but still i'm trying to save as much as i can tongue.gif wanted to get a samsung jet but then kinda like OII..blah..headache..

anyway, will OII lag?? I have seen a lot of video reviews and found it quite laggy..that kinda holding me back from getting this phone..

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.

to be honest i kinda like the samsung UI.. tongue.gif that's the dilemma..

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.

Thanks. 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?

Thanks. Just that the 'standard fmg set' offered by sellers can be somehow unclear. Some may include the bluetooth + 4gb while some do not. notworthy.gif

just wondering, is it easy to upgrade from wm 6.1 to 6.5? I feel like getting a SG set but then worried that I might not know how to upgrade it myself..if fmg set then i can just send to the service centre and make my life easy tongue.gif

wanna ask a very noob question but keep bothering me for some times. do we still have to charge our phone for 8 hours like what we used to do or we can just use it right after we open box and charge it later on?

thanks tongue.gif

hmm...i installed spb shell 3.0 into my phone and it's smoother compared to samsung UI(not as pretty though) but today i encountered one problem, I went to launcher and the screen turn black but I can still see the top bar (i.e. the start button, large indicator and the x)...it does nothing after i clicked the back button or the reject button...but i still can go into different application by touching the blank screen... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif i gotta restart my phone..anybody encountered that b4??

and i realized it took so long to switch to qwerty keyboard during sms...something it doesnt even switch.. doh.gif doh.gif

still love my phone though...but quite jealous when i see my colleague's iphone is so bloody smooth..

Im using spb3.5 and it worked like a charm, almost as smooth as iphone in most cases. Maybe you should install the latest SPB 3.5.. try google it for "cheaper alternatives". brows.gif  Almost all items are big enough for my big finger. I do encounter the same problem as you do after i installed spb.. my qwerty keyboard doesnt appear anymore after i tilt the phone. So i resorted the badger's solution by edit registry of the phone, setting one of the buttons to rotate the screen. It worked like a charm and my qwerty keyboard reappear after i press the button. Also, with the button im able to run garmin on landscape mode, which with the 3.7" AMOLED, it's awesome.

btw, can TS add me to the new omnia2 user list?

hey guys a question, i was browsing through my memory setting and found "main storage" and "my storage"..my "main storage" has only 512mb and my garmin, spb, and games are all under that...what's the difference between both storage?

will that slow my phone down?possible to switch/move all under 'main storage' to 'my storage'?

thanks notworthy.gif

Thanks. biggrin.gif I just deleted my games and reinstalled one to "my storage" but when I go back to the memory setting the game is still @ "main storage". I'm not sure how to check the memory consumption for each application but when i install i only got 3 places to install which are "my device", "my storage", and "storage card". I already picked "my storage" but it still appears at "main storage" rclxub.gif

btw for garmin, do you guys use bluetooth signal or gps intermediate driver?

1) You are browsing the "Main Storage" page where it show you the space that you consume in "Main Storage".
2) In the same windows, the program list show you the program installed into your phones NOT your "Main Storage", even you might installed to "My Storage or Storage Card", .... imagine it is "Add/Remove Program" on you WinXP.
3) Even if you installed the program to "My Storage or Storage Card". It consume some space in your "Main Storage" for certain program. Imagine on WinXP, you installed to D but there are some DLL copied to Windows folder.
4) Garmin is one of the example will installed it's main program on root folder, but user folder on where you choose from.
My Garmin using the default setting, which are COM 7 and COM 9, worked perfectly.

Sozz... I forgot to explain this part too....
That is one quirk in Samsung's Settings app.  No matter where you install your stuff (be it in main storage, my storage or storage card) it will still show under Main Storage but actually its installed in the location you selected.  There are a handful of apps though which install in multiple places which skymade has mentioned.

Anyway, if you are curious on where your apps are installed, you can try using file manager and browse though Program Files folder in all drives and find the name of the app you just installed....
