new owner of omniapro here. hopefully can find some good case or acessary for this baby

How much did you bought?
If you find any great accessories, do update here ok.


I've try to install "NoData" app to this phone. *NoData is an app that can blocked your 3G data connection.
For me, i dont need 3G data connection, WIFI id enuff..
The problem that i faced is it seems the setup is that it did not works until the next reboot, which i find quit troublesome.

So the method that i've used, create a dummy Access point:
Start -> Setting -> Connection -> GPRS -> New:
Description : Dummy
Connects to : The Internet
Authentication : CHAP
Primary DNS : 0.0.0.0
Secondary SMS : 0.0.0.0
IP Address : 0.0.0.0

Then to set the phone to use this "Dummy" connection:
Start -> Setting -> Connection -> Menu -> Advance : :
Internet Connection : Dummy
(Please use this step to revert back to your data connection setting)

try to browse to google...Tadaaa... and now your phone will not make any unnecessary 3G data connection to the internet.

i think new version of s2u2 can get the notification. have you tried spb phone suite?

Havent try S2U2 yet.. thought that it is more suitable for touch screen phone?


Have tried SPB on my old Samsung i780. again, i thought it's more suitable for touch screen phone.
But after taking another look at the SPB site, thinking to install it back to my b7330...(hunting for pirates beginnnnnsss )

to shiniraz:
bought for rm850 without memory card. what video does this phone support? i tried an mp4, got sound but no video

Hello All,

Been using B7330 since March 2010. Initially face great difficulty with Internet browsing as it is not touch screen.

Few questions to ask:-
1) Where can I download (Free) Garmin GPS Software + Map of Malaysia & Singapore?

2) Does anyone know how to switch off the sound of the camera? Is there anyway to increase the shutter speed?

3) Whenever I connect my notebook to use my HP for 3G Broadband, after usage, all HP setting goes haywired.
Does anyone has the same experience? Is this a firmware problem? Can this be solved?

Thank you.

planning to buy b7330 .. but if compare to htc snap...

anybody have comparison?

I have both plus Omnia I-900. I think i prefer qwerty rather than touch screen. B7330 has a better camera, photo quality is comparable to my old Nokia N73. Even my I-900 ( 5 MP) is of lower quality.

BUT, HTC Snap has 1 advantage, the trackball, it so much easier while browsing the web, as compared to B7330's D=Pad.

Cheers

wah. more and more owner coming in. shiniraz, blackmarket & urecom, your names are in owner list.

OK, let me at give my opinion for some of your queries

try autolock (refer first page), it's also have reminder and screensaver like SE phone with miss called & unread msg (but i don't use them). try it and report the result


since the trend is now touch screen, b7330 is not that fancied. furthur more, b7330 is not HTC made. what enhancement do you want from custom ROM? current ROM had no problem. anyway, i also want at least to install other home screen layout

why not try at ebay? look for international seller. try see this.


back to basic, to play the specific file format, you will need the correct codec. core player can play most of multimedia format.


1) Garmin GPS software free to download (refer first page) but you need to buy the unlock key, but there is always alternative... . malsingmaps also free to download, but also need unlock key. free map, try check for malfreemap. please google OK.

2) still no finding on this, as work around, u can take picture in vibrate / silent mode. shutter speed? hehe get your dslr

3) haven't try this. anyone?


b7330 bigger screen and front facing camera for video call!

OK now my question, anybody know how to custom some of the key (e.g.: internet key, messaging key). and how to remove the unwanted chinese input. it is quite annoying to press the Alt key several time to rotate between abc-123-chinese input-abc again.

cheers!

any lag or "not enough ram" problem?

mine so far still OK. No lagging since the CPU speed quit good.
Just having a problem to connect to WIFI at my workplace.. others wifi ok.. still troubleshooting ~

sony ericsson just release aspen.

wait for some detail review to compare.

yeah. first look, when it was codenamed 'faith', like interesting, but then the design is too ermmm... fugly?

it is a touch screen anyway and ported with WinMo Pro 6.5.

ah.. and look fat to

compare aspen with b7330 with their bitter rival e72. link is here.

yeap, the advantage for aspen were touch screen ~~~~ i know is little bit small for a touch screen ...

disadvantage,... i thought it should be 5mp camera and this 3.2 were like no different with b7330.



but one advantage for e72.

nokia still provide firmware update .

and i think aspen and b7330 were born to be orphan.....no more support .......

believe me, frequent firmware update is sick. backup & restore and redo all the setting again. had e71 before.

what wrong with current firmware? my complaint only sometimes the virate does not stop. need to press end button to make it stop.

maybe we don't need always update firmware. but if the firmware come with bugs and i think they should fix it ...


just watch a quite review of aspen.
is quite attractive , if b7330 can have those panel and this would be perfect

software wise, can't compare aspen 1-to-1 with b7330. aspen=WM Pro, b7330=WM Std

These 2 WM version are differ very much now. Back to your preference / experience either to have touchscreen or not.

I am very glad with Office Mobile 2010, we can create Word & Excel on b7330, which is not capable with the stock Office Mobile.

any1 tried gps
on this phone? does it work well?
and any1 can teach me where to download applications for this phone?
and also,how do i delete the internet cookies and clear history?
any sifu can guide me?

DELETED

Just bought my B7330 yesterday. I used a Samsung i600 previously, so basically it's the same phone except better specs. In fact, in just one night, I have customized my B7330 to exactly the same feel as my old i600 LOL. I'm writing this on my B7330. Here's my list of Pros & cons I've accumulated so far after a day of use:
Pros:
1) Windows mobile Standard. I just like the seamless integration with Desktop outlook, no touchscreen hassles, longer battery life (probably because no touchscreen), exchange server, internet sharing, softkeys, physical qwerty (what's the deal with all touchscreen nowadays anyway?), many apps (yes iphone has thousands of apps, but too much of something can be bad too; I just need fundamental apps) etc.
2) Bigger RAM. In i600, I can only open 2 or 3 apps (especially if using Opera mobile or tcpmp), but now with bigger RAM, I can open so many apps at the same time
3) Alt+alphabet is shortcut assignment to apps. Love it. Makes it easy to open hard to open apps which reside in folders upon folders like Docs to go or Tasks.
4) video call quality is much better than i600.
5) bigger screen. can see so much more now in one page
6) Garmin. love it
7) louder speaker.
8) better quality camera pictures
9) bigger storage memory
10) Battery lasts so long, even with GPS on. I was on GPS for 4 hours today, & battery still have 4 bars left
11) copy & paste are now integrated in most windows native apps like Contacts, Tasks, Calendar. This was sorely missing in i600, which makes me almost jumped to WM professional, but now with the integration, I don't need to be jealous of the capabillity of my touchscreen copy & paste friends, although, there's still one app which is sorely missing of this: Opera mobile
12) 7.2mbps HSDPA as opposed to i600's 1.1mbps. Definitely makes a lot of difference in terms of surfing speed. Although Malaysia's broadband never exceed 3.6mbps.
13) Most apps I used in i600 (which was 4 OS versions earlier (WM5, WM6, WM6.1, WM6.5)) can still be used in B7330! amazing. Saves me so much time searching for newer apps version
Cons:
1) the symbols above the letters buttons are terribly coloured & thus hard to see at night
2) it's hard to type symbols now compared to i600. With i600, there is a dedicated symbol button, where if u press the symbol button with ur left thumb, u can quickly press required symbols using ur right thumb, but now, the button is gone. Now, to choose symbol, u either hold the required symbols' buttons (which takes longer time) or toggle the Alt button between alphabets, chinese or symbol (even longer)
3) the envelope button opens a 'new message'. wish it maintained i600's which opened the message app. Now, needs a few steps to open message app. I resolve it finally by using Alt+button assignment, but requires both hands to achieve this
4) no flash, so, poor quality pictures at night
5) graphics are no match to new phones (AMOLED, higher resolution, million colours etc). At the shop yesterday, I almost bought samsung wave just because of the screen, but i restrained because of WM simplicity out of the box, & since I had been so invested in WM standard, & i can't stand customizing new phones to the way I like
6) Garmin. I'm not sure whether this is isolated to me only, but it's so hard to get a fix in my car. Probably it's the vkool elite tint's fault, but it dropped satellite signals a lot, & sometimes when it's engaged, it showed me being in indonesia. If anyone also has this problem, & knows how to resolve it, please contact me
7) like i600, it also cannot auto-record phone calls. Wish somebody can develop this app, like the guy who develops ACR for windows mobile professional
Guess that's all for now. Will update if there's anything else
