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...

2. Is there really lag while using the phone? I heard reviews mentioning it...

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...

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?

5. User-friendliness... sms is rather important, so may I know whether it's easy to use in this department? And also web browsing...

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

hmm... i'm trying these same options u mentioned... i'm leaning more towards the i8910's features, but i'm not brave enuff to go around hacking the phone on my own

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!

Are there any nice protective covers/cases for the i8910? You know, like on the Iphone... would be a shame to have this gorgeous baby scratched

hey where is this omnia hd forum u guys are talking about? wanna read more before deciding wat to get

sorry for a noob question, but what do u guys mean by communities apps?

I went to Go Mibile yesterday and tested the i8910... I'm so poisoned by it... @_@

Heehee... went back to Go Mobile yesterday and now I'm a proud new user of the i8910 HD...

Any good sites you guys can recommend for apps? I can't seem to find any proper ones...

I'm loving my phone so far man... it's awesome... just that... how does one obtain firmware updates ar? It seems like this version lacks some features I've seen on youtube

Ah darn... forgot to charge and the phone was already running halfway yesterday... it's compatible with my old phone's charger

er nopes... what's that ar? I'm still pretty noob to the phone, I've only owned it for like... 4 days

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

yeah another colleague was like "f*** lah u two!" lolz!!

^ yeah I know how u feel... my colleague was the 1st I've seen

yeah man, wat's wif the advertising? they're not even pushing it despite it being a powerhouse
