Rayfoo, interested in an invisible shield....cant find your garage sale

The Omnia is the best fone i have ever got.....still reeling from the 3k it cost but its a great fone...Batt life is better than i expected too...only the movie player and gps drain battery real fast.....about 3 hours of use...i full batt gone. Otherwise, just call and sms can last about 3 to 4 days

hellfire....how do u do that ah....neat trick to learn....lolz

how does that work anyway...the police ambush and speed trap

save 10 saman....can free one omnia already....lolz...

can be a marketing strategy for samsung....makes spending the $$$ for OMNIA less painful....

depending on the program u use for your gps.... if u use google maps, the maps are dloaded as u go along...meaning charges to your 3G or GPRS. If u using MAPKING, the maps are preloaded beforehand so the GPS usage is completely free...cos no need to dload anything

Access to GPS satellites are always free.....eg. for pic geotagging.

Hope this helps

i dont think that there is a real rush to go and update the firmware at the moment. the G3 works just fine for me at the moment. But i will upgrade in the future. Samsung will come out with many many more new updates, which is usual for a new model, cant get everything right the first time. So wait and see....

if the update contains something u really really want, then by all means go get it. Otherwise just wait a month or two for things to stabilize and settle down and then get the latest firmware..

OK......new omnia owner's list

1. lynxs Omnia 16G FMG set

think all are compatible dude...the bluetooth protocols remain the same for all manufacturers and all phones so they are cross compatible. If u want stereo look for the ones that have a2dp. and if u want to control your tracks from your handsfree find a bluetooth that supports avrcp.

Im using a we.com st-66 with mine...no probs

Added on August 29, 2008, 6:10 pmcant seem to do that with mine tho....perhaps cos im still using g3.

Added on August 29, 2008, 6:12 pmdefinitely agree.....one night left my GPS accidentally on and the full batt i had was dead in the morning....

panic panic

Added on August 29, 2008, 6:14 pmregarding the pouch and screen protector...i guess was given out during the packages that were sold in the samsung roadshow....cos in the boxes of the standard sets dont contain the pouch.

got mine with leather pouch, screen protector, digital photo frame + 2GB Sandisk SD....which i plan to upgrade soon to 16gb as i have almost utilized all the space in my 16GB omina memory

yeah it works for the media album......great tip it doesnt work for the photo slides program tho

they are 2 quite different phones actually.....depending on what u prefer.

The main difference is OMNIA is windows mobile whereas the N96 is Symbian based. therefore software support would be more abundant for the omnia as opposed to the n96.

The second would be an absence of a touch screen on the N96 which would be a big minus point to some....but to others may not be such a big deal.

The N96 has however DVB-H, if u actually do use that, and the camera has better optics - carl zeiss. The flash i presume is also a Xenon? im not to sure about that but if it is its probably better. the rest of the features are pretty much the same on both phones

Oh yeah, the omnia has a 624Mhz processor but the N96 has a dual arm 264Mhz CPU. Dont know how to compare these two in terms of performance.....but there you have it. The price of the N96 is also presumed to be a lot higher than 3k.

dude.....its preinstalled on your phone.....

just go to settings > Connections Tab > operator settings

and just select maxis

the beauty about windows mobile devices......applies to all devices....same way

had a strange thing with my omnia today.....The screen went blank and the phone was vibrating non stop. like as though there was a call i could not answer. The power button light was flashing red and green. All the buttons were jammed. Couldnt switch off the phone. until i pulled the battery out. Then everything fine......not sure what happened tho..

First go to your settings > external GPS > and note the GPS program port

Next go to your port splitter

for input port, key in the selected program port. Have this port name memorized...as everytime u want to start your port splitter, u have to key this in manually.

Next, select any output port. Click add. Then start splitter. Click ok

Then use your MapKing....it will detect automatically.

use any baud setting and use any output port u like.

anyone know where to get the tv-out cable for the omnia and whats the cost?

handsfree, stylus, charger......thats it....oh yeah and plus CD and usb cable for active sync or whatever they call it nowadays...

congratulations......be sure to post on the owners list....

btw can u blame the guy.....he has like 700 different phones to sell at any one time so i guess he will be swamped if u ask him about firmware upgrades....lolz......but it was funny....oh how do these ppl make up stories....when the "umm...im sorry i do not know, i will try to find out for you" reply would do just fine. Perhaps even inspire trust in the buyer

the power button led colour changes from red to green
