Don't forget to make review after that?

when la this phone will coming out to Msia..
i'm tired already doing survey whether to buy Diamond or Omnia..

Actually i'm just waiting for their price.
if let say Omnia much more cheaper, then definitely i will buy it over Diamond..
But if both has same price, need to compare side by side at the shop..

Me too. Like desperate househusband...

If they drag too long, i might get Diamond in PC Fair next week.
SHould i wait another week after PC Fair?

i know, b4 this i already made my mind on Omnia,
but while waiting it come here, i keep reading about Diamond article, forums, threads, bla..bla..
that's why i'm a little bit poised by Diamond..

Ok, i should discipline myself to focus on Omnia...

Anyway, time will tell...

me too currently doing compilation on Omnia documentation from PPCSG
just for preparation while waiting..

the guy from this blog said
omnia price will be RM2999 for16gb & RM2799 for 8gb
Dunno it's true or not.

Samsung booth?
is the stock ready?
what package are they offer?

Thanks.

hi eric,

where did u booked the omnia?
Samsung or PDA Expert?

Just went back from PC Fair,
if u buy from Samsung, can collect on Monday ..
but need to wait 2 weeks from PDA Expert..

So far only 2 authorized Omnia seller during PC Fair beside Samsung itself;
PDA Expert & Fresh Gear..

Actually i already place deposit on 16gb one from PDA Expert...
After extensive comparison Diamond & Omnia ,
this time i already made my mind..
Since the launched of Tytn II --> Cruise --> Diamond,
i keep waiting & waiting...then i realized how long i'm gonna wait for my perfect device...
it will never come actually...

hopefully i can get the device earlier than the scheduled..

and for the price, i think its quite reasonable along with Diamond..
some more u can can extra storage, more MP, bigger screen & bigger battery..

i think maybe different country has their own packages.
Like singapore, they bundled with stylus and tv-out only for early bird promotion,
but Malaysia, no stylus and come with TVO cable as a standard pack.
And their special promotion also diffrent;Omnia Pouch + Digital Photo Frame + Screen Protector

Anyway, PDA Expert has gave me cheapo stylus pen, bluetooth headset, microsd reader + kuih bulan as a freegifts

Hi,
i just got my Omnia..Collect it from PDA Expert..Now very busy explore the device ..
Dont have much time since tomorrow will go to Pangkor. Maybe can test the GPS while driving there.

Anyway to those Diamond fan, there is a good news 4u and bad news for Omnia lover... The price for Diamond now already RM2599.

go to Start > Setting > System > Version

The latest one should be i900DXHG4

Mine is G3. I noticed that some of the features that someone mentioned from PPCSG already in G3.
- Hactic Feedback Lesser, only launching something will have feedback. (No vibrate when typing)
- Samsung Today 1 Plugin
- Smart Reader
- Changes to Calculator Skin
- End Key Function to lock Device

I'm not sure about below items:-
- Overall Speed Faster
- Some icons are changed (like when charging, Calculator)
- Orientation are better in G4
- More Video Settings
- No change in Memory

This one for sure
- New Input like Samsung Panel and 点讯输入

You can download it from here
http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/index.jsp

i just transfered avi files 700 mb into my Omnia and it play very well with wide fullscreen (using Core player). It's a perfect device for watching movie while travel. But i didn't test the whole movie to see how long it will last the battery.

Here is the link, an instruction guide to use MAPKING on your Omnia.
http:/www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=98612&view=findpost&p=705894
I've tried and it works.

=================================================================================
1. Go download the port splitter 1.1 free from http://www.freewareppc.com/download/commun...tsplitter.shtml

2. Go to Start - Setting - System - External GPS
Program - set GPS Program port to COM8
Hardware - COM9 / Baud rate - 4800
Access - Remain checked

3. Go to Start - Setting - System - Enchance GPS
XTRA Enable - Enable
Auto download - Disable

4. After installating Port Splitter to i780, activate it and set the setting accordingly.
Input - COM8 (type it if its not there)
Baud - 4800
Output - COM6 (press Add and start)

5. Open the MapKing
Go to Tools - GPS/Track - By User (COM6 / Baudrate 4800)

Done !!

To activate GPS, just make sure Port splitter is activated, open Mapking - click GPS at the bottom - click anywhere to open up the menu - click GPS Status (if showing no fix on the top left, it means its trying to locate your position) So go to a open air location (Takes about 5 mins to log on estimate)

Pls note, somehow when activating port splitter, it attempts connect to our GPRS.
To disable your connection, I did this.

Go to Start - setting - connections - Advanced - Select networks - Edit (top&bottom) click hold and delete the connection setting.

If in case you need the GPRS setting back, just go to Start - Setting - System - Operator Setting. Change to another Telco and change back to your Telco, your setting will be back.

=============================================================================================

Anyway, it's just a digital zoom. Not optical zoom.
Don't put high expectation..

Maybe later i'll try post it here.

But one thing i noticed, Omnia took outdoor picture quite well compare to indoor one.
Somehow the flashlight can be too bright when you take close-up picture.

And you might see the pixelate picture on the screen after you saved it.
Dont be surprise because the picture has been fixed to the screen.
What u do is try to zoom out and you can see the clear and sharp picture.

Hi Lastlion, feel free to visit my Omnia blog..
Already posted some pictures regarding zoom in functions..

http://mysamsungomnia.wordpress.com/2008/0...camera-zoom-in/

This post has been edited by maks_pain: Aug 14 2008, 03:05 PM

This is default setting when i 1st time use the camera
Shooting mode - Single
effect mode - none
size - 2560x1920 (max)
focus - Auto
ISO - Auto
Quality - High
White Balance - auto
Metering - Center (what is this? )
Contrast-0
Saturation-0
Sharpness-0

i tried SPB Mobile Shell. It works perfect except for the 1st screen.
When you try to view in landscape, the layout cannot fit to the screen.



For the Winteface, I found that software not so very stable. Sometimes, you will feel it use a lot of CPU & memory. A few people using Omnia also had complaint about this issue (http://blog.iwindowsmobile.com). Maybe the new version will solve this prob. Anyway the apps quite nice. Simple and fast.

Oh ya, anyone know how to disable 3G settings.
I couldn't find any setting to disable it except for HSDPA (already disable).
As you can see image above, the network icon is showing 3G. Sometimes E, G.
I'm afraid it will drain the battery.
Or it's just a normal?

Thanks for clarify this matter.
I'm using SPB Shell only and bought it from PDAexpert.
Still haven't recieve the freegift.

So, does anybody got TVout cable when u purchased Omnia?
I thought it will be included inside the package based from the promotion during PCFair.

i'm using this software CapSure 1.1 (freeware) for screen capture
