but if u really wan compare really nothg to compare.. for those who like N97 or like Omnia HD is basically all depends on their usage.. what i means is can't compare on the specs.. still can compare on ur usage. Just like why ppl still use the yellow telco although don't have 3G call.

Brief review on the omnia hd. Bought it from samsung shop at Suntec City. They have 2 sets only and I can't bear the wait since 2 months ago. So I "chiong"down and get it. My wait is over but comes at a price....$1098 that is. Sigh..

Pros:
- Fast, fast, fast. I owned IPhone (1st & 2nd gen) and Nokia 5800. But this fella is fast in its
processing. Apps open instantly. Movies are smooth.
- Screen is big and contrast is remarkable.
- Samsung's proprietary media player can play almost all formats except for m4kv.
- Watching movie is really a joy to behold on that omnia HD.
- Bundled with a measly 1Gb micro sd loaded by AGIS NAVFONE map and software
- Call quality good.
- Media browser is unique (tilting to scroll).
- Camera shots are good except in low light condition. But still passable for me.

Cons:
- Heavy. Bulky.
- Build quality plasticky and a fingerprint nightmare esp the back cover.
- Firmware is I8910DXIG1 - old firmware compared to updated G2 for Italy, HK, Malaysia,etc.
- So no fix to audio during high def recording (no aac).
- Music player is quite soft even at max (reminds me of IPhone first gen).
- Widgets are kinda laggy and a coupla times reboot my phone. So I disabled the widgets.
Not a big deal since I do not like samsung widgets (I had the F480, Samsung Star, Omnia
previously too).
- Very limited stuff bundled with a supposedly flagship device. No tv RCA cable as described
by GSMArena. But then it's easy to get one. Only charger, earpiece, usb data cable & CD
for PC Studio 7 (layout looks like Nokia's and does not work properly [unlike Nokia's] )

Overall I like this device.
For guys who can flash firmware, pls help me when you finally get a set. I am still a noobie. Kam-siah.

it's a 16GB one.. so cheapp.. aighh.. Msia one so damn expensiv! $1098 is Sg current most xpensv price one.. some can get less than $1k.

wah!! 1Ghz?!?! no la.. 600 MHz only.. after the prototype is out there's a period of time have rumours that Omnia HD will use ARM Cortex 800 MHz but too bad later Samsung decide to use 600 MHz only.. if they use 800 MHz the HD recording with great sound quality is going to be sub sub water only. The ARM Cortex 1Ghz just announce last month la.. not even invent already use meh? lol

Quote from 1 of lelong.com.my seller ----

6)What Is The Differences Of Ap And Original Set?
Same Package,Just The Warranty Of Ap Can Claim From My Shop Only While Original Set You Can Claim At Any Authorised Dealer In Malaysia.

bro~ relax la.. haha.. now updated with 3 sellers already.. got 1 has shop in PJ.. most probably i will get from there. Nw waiting for the seller reply me is new firmware or old firmware only.

better think 10000 times.. Sg still don't have new firmware and dont know when will out also.. if u always go SG then can la..
"Anyway the reason I went there is to bug them abt the latest firmware.

Staff went to the back to check with supervisor and she came back to ask me to leave my contact behind and will contact me once it's available for Sg. Seems like supervisor aware of the latest firmware being available in HK & Malaysia. I was not brushed aside, like from nokia whereby the staff denied wholesale of the existence of a later firmware. " -- Quote from SG forum.

omg! so damn xpensive! the seller also one pure blood sucker!

Aruja, ur tomorrow die already or not? hope already die so we won't see another tomorrow.. lol.. any updates?

Added on August 11, 2009, 11:26 amcurrently still no seller can confirm that the firmware is the IG2 firmware with HD audio recording fixed. Guess we'll have to wait for the official launch to avoid getting the bad audio firmware like SG.
