looks impressive. though skeptical, i am interested in the full body one. keep me informed pls.

i use mapking and port splitter. doesnt have all these bells and whistles. maybe i dont know how to incorporate police and speed trap poi's.
anyway, it is a great phone. more intuitive and the sms's have become chat-like.

just now my omnia shut down on its own a few minutes after i checked the battery level. i was very sure cos i was on the road using gps. it showed 50%, so i quit garmin, closed all programs (end all tasks). made sure the bluetooth was off also. Port splitter was off cos i wasnt using mapking. (i used an external gps unit instead of the internal one cos i think this way, the juice would not run out so fast)
the shut down was a tune and the screen showing omina disappearing. it wouldnt boot, wouldnt reset despite me taking the battery out and reinserting.
i went home and started recharging. i could turn the phone straight back on, albeit a reboot.
pressed the charging icon and true enuf, the battery level was at 50% and charging. thought it should be less than 5%. strange experience.

just made a discovery last night. if you use today 2 as your today screen, if u tap on the phonebook icon on the top, you would be presented with 9 of boxes in a 3x3 array where most of us have put pics of our most-frequent contacts.
if you use your finger to slide the screen upwards, you will discover that in fact, the 'contacts array' is actually 9x3.
making a total of 27 contacts in the phonebook. only 9 out of 27 would be visible at any time.

this phone has what is called 'samsung keyboard' amongst other modes of input which i almost always use. i am a new samsung user, previously from dopod 838pro, so i dont know if this samsungkeyboard is new or not.
basically this keyboard looks like your typical qwerty on the surface. at first,i thought, oh no, how am i gonna type with my stumpy fingers. but fear not. it has a little intelligence built into it. it intuitively guesses what you want to type in english that is. for example, if you want to type the word 'example' but typed 'wcanpkw' instead ('w' is next to 'e' and 'c' is next to 'x' and so on), it can guess correctly that you wanted 'example', and present it to you to choose. my example here is just an illustration.
graffiti on the other hand is not as good as my ex-dopod. the strokes dont get registered fast enuf and i have to write more slowly on the omnia, which made me migrate to using samsung keyboard.

bought an ori car charger for the omnia for RM29 at samsung summit. dont know why my other charger (for external GPS) could not be used to charge the omnia.

that is why i still use an external BT GPS device and leave it on the dashboard. that is for speed of acquiring satellites. However, battery life running only garmin (with the internal GPS off) with external BT GPS eats up juice at the same rate i think.

whoa! scary no nonsense interface. didnt dare mess with it.

eversince i installed spb shell v2.1.2, my phone hangs frequently. or responses very slowly. anyone shares this experience?
considering uninstalling it or a hard reset to factory default.
