Hello. I've long been a Symbian Nokia user. Been poisoned by the Omnia i900 just recently. Not the newest around but attractive to me. Seems that many users have complaints about stability and sudden restarts of the device.

Would just like to confirm if the newer firmware solves this problem? Most likely I would not be a GPS user so any problems with Garmin wouldn't bug me. Feedback is much appreciated

Yea I think I get what you mean. I have a Axim x51v running on WM5. Not really a finger friendly interface. Just afraid that I might regret replacing my symbian device with the omnia. Also how is the music playback quality through its 3.5mm jack in comparison to other phones?

Haha. ICic. Well I will be using the omnia as my primary music device if I were to get it. At the moment my Nokia N82 decently performs in terms of audio quality. Hoping that the Omnia fares better

Hello omnians. Im not sure whats the proper term for this function but here goes:

"Lets say u're making a call using a IDD card and it prompts you to input the pin code via the keypad. Does this work on the omnia's touchpad while on-call? Apparently this function was disabled when I was using my SE P990i. Both touchpad/keypads were disabled when I was on a call"

Would someone clarify this?

Oh and is anyone using this??

Yups. Its the 3.5mm audio jack converter for the Omnia without the mic. So basically you can use headphones through it but it has to be taken out if a call comes in or not the caller wont be able to hear anything.

Dont have it dude. Don't even have an omnia yet
But im thinking of getting one. Just that i'll be a heavy music listener and a proprietary port is kind of a turn off. So I guess its the next best thing to do. Searched it off google

Good question but I was rather expecting one of the more experienced users to answer that

I guess it should sound just as good as the stocked converter. Should be using the same concept as any other converter.

Hmm... still looking in the meantime. No rush for me

Ah thats good to hear. Was wondering since there's a difference in price.

Anyways, anyone care to clarify my earlier issue?

Great! Anyone who actually tried this out? I guess this applies to any automated voice systems such as Hotlink as well

Hello fellow omnians. Seriously considering in getting my hands on an Omnia i900 sometime soon. Decided not to wait for the Omnia 2, a little too pricey to get a better screen, 3.5mm jack and new UI. Anyways, hope some of my queries can be answered:

-Will be used for on-the-go music playback with portable cans (Audio Technica SJ5). Wonder if the sound quality is good and is the output strong enough to easily drive portable cans?

-Is invisible helping alot in protecting the devices exterior? Read some reviews mentioning some un-protected areas around the device.

Hello omnia users! Just picked up my unit earlier.

Would anyone recommend mirror screen protectors?

Ok after 1 day of usage it seems that the omnia is a great device with lost to offer. Still need to get used to the on screen keyboard. A little slow when typing messages.

I have 1 complaint. Battery life barely lasted me 1 day for some reason. Not sure why but here goes:

-Seller mentioned that he "upgraded" to latest Msia rom which has Chinese input enabled but I have not yet done a Hard reset
-I put the device into sleep mode using the power button but wake it up every once in awhile to play around with the functions quite frequently

Could it be my usage which is causing the battery to drain to quickly? Or would the hard reset rectify this?

Also I find it a little hard to remove my omnia from the slipcase which is similar to the one as shown in this pic:



I just grab my omnia from the slot on the side but sometimes its a little hard to even budge

Any suggestions??

No dude. Grabbed that pic off the internet. Kind of tired of using the case. Especially when a call comes in and my omnia gets stuck

Thought of getting invisible shield but I heard some reviews mentioning of the protective layer peeling off after some time. Anyone care to verify this?

Oh. My apologies. I see. Well probably its worth a shot to try it. Should be better off than using this tight case.

My hard case seems to be quite tight. Probably its not authentic since it was a free gift from the seller. It physically looks like the original but somehow it "feels" a little inferior in terms of quality. I guess i'll give IS a try. But im afraid that dust might collect along the edges of the protector and cause it to lose its adhesiveness

Well as long as it stays on I'll be happy. Just worried about the dust getting into the shield and byebye RM80

Looks awesome! Just inquired from tan_alliance about stock availability. If all goes well I'll probably grab one by end of this week

Install Windoes Mobile Device center 1st. Then connect your omnia until the Mobile device center states that your device is connected. Then launch the upgrade file and follow the on-screen steps.

Just upgraded using Vista yesterday to the latest firmware. Sweetness

Hmm... weird.... Is it the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center?

Initially I had a problem launching the upgrader. It paused like forever after i clicked "verify device". Closed it and restarted the upgrader and everything was OK

Could be a possibility? Im using 32 bit

Coz u installed too much stuff in your device memory?

Oh and the tab on my omnia's connector port cracked along the middle. Zzzz... holding it together using selotape
