Sell to you can la.

I used to have that on my Omnia 7, it wasn't as choppy as yours though, it's about 10 fps. That was when I first had it. Then I reset the phone to factory settings to put in my "Singapore" live ID in there, and the choppiness went away. Didn't happen on VGA resolution though

I read somewhere that if you switch from VGA to HD recording you'll have that choppiness. If you saved the settings at HD, and the next time you start up the camera it will be OK. This is just what I read though, so I don't know if it will help.

Well... my Omnia 7 got stolen, so the Focus was the replacement.

Built-in battery = instant lose.

That's called the USSD function. WP7 is crap at that. I keep telling MS to fix it but they don't.

No speed dial in WP7 either. Another stupid move by MS.

I seldom use USSD code also, but when I need it, I REALLY need it, and it should be functioning properly because it's a GSM standard.

I still find speed dial a heck lot more convenient than pinning a contact, though I find using Tellme to be the fastest

looks like a potentially major bug has appeared on wp7

Microsoft had better fix this soon, along with the other bugs.

I doubt it. Ppl are still stuck in their iSheeple and Fandroid mentality, just like what the winphags are turning into

No one selling Focus S unless you wait another 6-12 months because:
1) It's exclusive
2) It's got rockin' hardware specs, and is actually better than the Titan

Unless you're willing to pay good money for it.

If someone can get me the contact of someone in Microsoft M'sia, I can try to volunteer my service to them to bring Marketplace to M'sia

Yes, Omnia 7 has the best camera and video recording functions, and it has a tactile Windows button which wakes the device, so you don't have to keep reaching for the power button. It has somewhat metal like casing which makes it really firm, and some even rumored it may be gorilla glass.

Apart from the 8GB (which is really not enough for me), Omnia 7 is the best first gen WinPhone device.

Hi orangegurl,

Make sure you computer's region/country is set to a Marketplace supported country (Singapore, US, Australia, etc), and the Live ID that you use on your phone has the same region/country as your computer, else Zune will tell you to login with a Live ID that is the same country as the computer.

Yes, Microsoft sucks hard that way.

I have 5 Omnia 7 screen protectors for sale. RM10 each, RM40 for all 5.

PM me if interested.

Many sellers are selling the Omnia 7 in garage sales. Check there. As for the Focus S... well... that's not available in M'sia.

Through my observation, video media are played over the loudspeaker, while audio media is played through the Bluetooth headsets.

Not sure if this is a bug or by design.

The thing is WP7 isn't exactly beautiful. It's plain and simple but it's a whole lot of fun to use. It's intuitive and has the easiest learning curve, and Tellme is really good.

However, it really lacks the zing offered by droids and iOS. Even I, the owner of 4 windows phones, is drooling over the SGS2 because the games are sooooo much smoother and more fluid. Better games too! The widgets aren't that great, but it is better than the single tile limitation in WP7. Microsoft should just let developers have double wide/double long tiles on the Home screen, that will really add to Winphone's beauty.

The XNA/Silverlight games are pretty unstable too, they'd crash right in mid-game

ahtiang, Samsung Malaysia will recognize the Omnia 7 as a support device. I brought my Omnia 7 in for warranty a day after I bought it from Maxis due to dead pixel, and they replaced the display for me F.O.C no questions asked. They didn't even ask me where I got the phone from.

It's all about ROI. Why would Celcom and Maxis want to have a campaign for Winphones when the track record of these phones have failed? Not to mention that Marketplace for M'sia is... well... pretty much non-existent.

Well guys... after 5 windows phone (Omnia 7, Mozart, Trophy, Focus, HD7) I guess I'm tired of the limitations by Windows Phone and the freakishly slow updates from Microsoft in fixing the problems that plague this platform.

I'm jumping on the Android bandwagon, so I'll be letting go a few of my phones, namely the HD7 (unlocked) and most like a HD2 i have (flashed with HSPL 3). Don't ask for the other phones I'm a bit too lazy to post in garage sales. If anyone is interested, PM me your best price.

Hmm... If I manage to get my hands on an SGS2 I will let go the Focus. S-AMOLED is sweet. What's wrong with your Omnia 7?

It's identical to the Omnia in almost every aspect except the Focus has an SDCard slot, and the Omnia 7 has better build quality and has a gyroscope. But both phones have the same firmware bugs, i.e. compass and accelerometer going out of whack, sound volume inconsistency, etc. The HTCs have better control and stability over hardware. But AMOLED easily puts LCD and SLCDs to shame. Pity....

Actually, I believe the Omnia 7 has better camera quality too, however that's subjective. But 8 GB? Come on, installing PvZ and DoDonPachi already takes up 300 MB, that's not even including the offline maps.

From a side by side standpoint, yes, because you get the Zeiss optics and the AMOLED. But from the price standpoint, nope. Frankly, a flagship phone with a inferior specs, second generation Snapdragon, released 9 months later than a 3rd generation Snapdragon (i.e. the SGS2), selling at the price of a Galaxy Note is just a lousy buy. Yes yes, I know, Winphone doesn't require a lot of processing power bla bla bla, but lets face it, lots of games (and apps) currently in marketplace DO require a lot of processing power. Try playing Chromatic and you'll know what I mean. Even DoDonPachi has to scale down it's graphics just to keep the FPS up.

Nowadays no need goldcard to unlock mango liao. Got new method liao.

I have a couple. tee hee. You interested?

Sounds like a faulty SD card. Time to bring it in for warranty, if it is still covered. BBB:Apocalypse is an awesome game though
