Hi guys, I know this might be silly questions to ask in an i8910 HD thread, but I'm really tempted to get one, only these few things bother me. I'm the type that likes to be very sure about a purchase, especially one this expensive. Hope you guys can give your views...

1. How's the usability of the phone so far? Any problems, quirks, etc? My current phone is an almost 2-year old Samsung and there are many occurances of ppl calling me and it rings on their phone but on my side it doesn't. My service provider said it's due to the phone's software. This prob alone was enuff to make me jump ship. Wonder if it's a Samsung thing...
Might you been accidentally pushed the call buttons though. I used to do that all the time.

2. Is there really lag while using the phone? I heard reviews mentioning it...
There is, but cooked/hacked firmware eliminates that problem. Come to the dark side! Muahahaha~

3. Is it true that there are also hardly any applications for this phone? I'm kind of on the fence between this and the iPhone 3GS, mostly due to the other having more apps, but on the other hand this one has better overall features...
You can basically use every S60 5th Edition softwares, especially after it was hacked. If its hacked, you can just install Nokia OVI and can get every softwares available for N97 or 5800. Heck, it runs GPS well, and even managed to be a wireless modem/router.

4. Does the size make it uncomfortable in the pocket? I know, silly question, u can't exactly take a unit at the Samsung store and put it in your pocket now, could u?
depends. if you're used to carrying a wallet inside your pockets with you, it just feels natural

5. User-friendliness... sms is rather important, so may I know whether it's easy to use in this department? And also web browsing...
I think its enough for me. I love its qwerty interface, but my friend love the traditional phone interface. Its up to your personal preferences.
The web opens every sites I've tried so far. For Lowyat, I subcribe the threads I follow on the built in RSS feeds.

Thanks guys, these should help me decide between the two phones~

Hey guys, I'm almost 90% sure on deciding on this phone...

- any tips and pointers on what to note, look out for or expect when buying one?
- any quick tips on transfering contacts from another phone? i'm currently using a samsung too...
- heard about some new firmware update. am I to check if the phone has this loaded?

Thanks!

hmm... what memory card does the i8910 use? mine currently uses microSD
ooh... didn't know u cud backup contacts using pc suite (admittedly didn't explore d software much )

dunno lar why this forum so quiet... btw i'm still excited wif my week-old phone... a colleague of mine got himself the 16gb version as well

oh... bout the web, yeah i've had 2 probs while browsing before (but rarely happens)

1. it suddenly hangs n no matter wat u do nothing happens... unless u take out the batt

2. why issit when u press stop it exits? =.=

I think the existing speed version is fast already compared with N97 V20..damn slow..ha ha ha...so anyone going to install the new version?

guys.. the image&video gallery loads the image thumbnail damn slow la.. does the HyperX firmware help loading the gallery faster?

I have download but seem it does detect my music that I store in my memory card. THe music player doesnt detect any song even i have 500 plus in my memory card? Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hi all, just curious what is the best web browser and IM application (live messenger) for Omnia HD?

I tried Opera Mini Beta 5 and it seems quite slow. Heard it consumes a lot of memories...

Thanks.
