I wonder if Omnian here modified their interface or installed lots of nice softwares/games, perhaps it is good idea to post screenshot to share. It is good exchange tips to improve the userability, especially those first time touch screen users.

The basic calendar functions that comes with WinMobile does support this. Just set the relevant date and it will eventually appear on your Today screen when it is approaching. You can also set to alert you several hours before.

Conventional mobile users may not get used to smartphone during the initial period but once you got confortable with its operation and functions, you will find conventional phones are too lacking. You can install some of the finger friendly software like iDialer, iPhone theme, etc.. You can have too high expectation on cameraphone although Omnia comes with 5mb with flash, try to compare that with other phones. Soft reset every other day is common once you installed too many 3rd party softwares, the same problem with your pc if you run it for several days.

The USB cable allow you to sync data with your pc and also charge at the same time, extremely useful especially with huge file installation / transfer.

If you willing to trade in yours for Rm1,000, I will take it as much as you can trade in, deal? The fact is that most shops do not specialised in smartphone and have limited customer base, thus can only offer lower trade in price to gather for the risk and time expected to resell it. Of course, the shops also has the excuse that they have rental and salary to pay, so got to cover their overheads. BTW, we are selling at very new used set at low price for the fact that we believe in volume & fast turnover with slim margin. It benefit the everyone, Seller get their sets trade in fast and high while Buyer get new used set at competitive price, win win for all.

Added on March 19, 2009, 8:30 pmAt least you can be assured that Spore set are from authorised distributor with warranty from Samsung Singapore, unlike those from unknown AP or water sets. Don't be too suprise if new used sets are sold as new set with new stickers only.

The advantage of using Window Mobile phone is that you have whole lots of software (freebies & licensed) to play with and customise your set. So you don't have to bear with the same old boring set everyday. No harm to try established softwares, you can just uninstall it easily. Otherwise you miss so much fun after paying so much to own a high techie gadget.

Next is Brownish Gold that has just been released, so watch out when we have it in stock.

I guess it is difficult to find shop selling as cheap as those seller here because they have much lower overhead and many are actually owner that just wanted to upgrade their used set for something else.

Looking at the spec of Omnia HD and the pricing of other HD, it should be priced at higher price range. Take an example Touch 3G, then Touch Pro and then Touch HD. Each of them is priced several hundred apart. So the question is which model suiting your need. Handset price always drop every few months, no matter how you wait.. it will still can drop further and before you know, there is another better new model came out and you may hope to wait for it to go down again. So lots of buyers actually just bought the model that they like and sell it away when newer model is launched because they will just need to top up few hundred extra.

I have checked the first few pages for more info on ROM but it listed on the latest ROM. Perhaps it is good if we can make a list of owners, their ROM and comments so this way will allow others to see which ROM is more popular and if any issues with them.

Also did anyone tested out upgrading to Win Mobile 6.5? It is faster and save more battery. I am tempting to upgrade to Win Mobile 6.5 but I heard from another forum that there maybe compatible issues with some softwares. So perhaps it is good to share if anyone here upgraded.

Added on April 1, 2009, 2:42 amIf you don't mind no physical qwerty keyboard, it is pretty perfect. Stylish, not bulky, good spec. I would like its speaker volume to go higher, kind of soft if in public place.

Yeah, 6.1 slightly lag and hh3 drain battery fast. I have been waiting for more feedback on WinMo 6.5 to upgrade everything at one go. What softwares you tried working fine on WinMo 6.5? The most important software for me is EQO.com (a multi IM network messenger) or other IM softwares, are you using any?

Omnian, I have just upgraded to Shokka WinMo6.5 too but still tweaking it and installing my usual stuffs.

Just to check if you or other users having following issues or maybe I missed out something somewhere, perhaps can offer some advice
i. vibration when pressing dial pad key
ii. orientation (landscape & Portrait) button is not working. It said shortcut key is "Error operning the shortcut or locating the target filename."
ii. White battery indicator is always showing 100%.

For RM1.5k, you shold be able to get a 8GB full set. Check out my signature for sale of Omnia 8GB Red - 1 month young for RM1,449 only.

I remember WinMob 6.0 has this option in Setting to either hold on X to close the application but seems missing in WinMob 6.5.

I am on Shokka9 WinMob 6.5 ROM, battery at 50% after 3 days. Should last 4~5 days. Also I do not has SPB Shell, Skin program or S2U2 running (WinMob 6.5 comes with something similiar.) Original HH3 ROM last only 1~1.5 days. So, ROM and Softwares running in background do make lots of difference.

Added on April 7, 2009, 11:26 pmAre you on ActiveSync? During ActiveSync, especially transferring large file or internet sharing, it can get hot very fast. I think the design is too compact, so the heat do not lose fast enough.

Really feel sorry for him. Should have appreciated his valuable time, effort and patience in sharing so much knowledge, tips and advice with everyone here. Bro Omnian, stay calm to rest awhile and come back stronger

Added on April 7, 2009, 11:58 pmAre you on latest ROM? It is lighter and battery last longer. Also remember to kill unwanted programs because you are merely minimising it to background. Get a good Task Manager that allow you to close program from Today screen will be handy.


Should not be that, maybe like your said your Omnia running heavy load. It is a mobile phone before you forgotten to load it like a PC.

Mine on Shokka9 WinMob 6.5 Lite ROM last 5~6 days, last charged was on last Fri morning till this Thurs morning. When I was on HH3, it last 1~1.5 days. No S2U2, No Skinning Theme, just plain simple WinMob 6.5 Classic Blue.

Added on April 10, 2009, 1:22 amSell your battery with those that hoping to last longer. Actually should not be the battery but the ROM, softwares running in background and usage.

Welcome back bro. It is always feel closer at home when ask for advice here rather than other expert forums.
