Default Re: Samsung Omnia i910

My cousin actually just got it last week. Its a really really really cool phone and it almost like a black berry. It has alot of windows apps, opera browser, uber fast internet (I think you need to sign up for the internet just to use the phone) and somethin like a 5.3mp camera. The only thing I dont like is it takes a bit to get used to the interface. I have the LG dare and love the touch screen and after playing with the Omnia I kinda want one lol. I think the only carrier for now is verizon and I suggest playing with it alot before making the decision.

edit:My fingers arent the smallest either, Im not sure about the keyboards but the dare has 2 options. One keyboard for when its in the vertical mode and is like a regular phone and when u turn it horizontal it goes to a qwerty keyboard and I can use both fine. The qwerty is just more a pain to use so I only use it when Im on the internet

Got one a couple of weeks ago. My first smart phone - so I'm getting used to it. It's working a lot better than my Razr.

It comes with a couple of browsers (Opera and IE) and works pretty fast. Still getting used to the small typing space, even when in landscape mode.

One downside is there are a limited number of downloadable ringtones.

My current phone is a Razr V3m. I believe you can jam a 16GB micro SD card into the Omnia. I'm not sure if you can load it up with mp3s and then use them as ringtones or not. That's one nice thing about the V3m, it's easy to hack so you can upload your own mp3 ringtones.

Thanks for chiming in. Keep me posted as you get more familiar with it.

This is good news. My wife has an LG Dare and I like it, but it's not Windows Mobile, and it doesn't support Active Synch. I like the LG Dare for it's feel and function. I love it's 3.2 MP camera, and that's one thing that caught my eye about the Omnia. Most other smart phones only have a 2MP camera.

I'm glad to hear it's fast. That was one concern since it has a little less RAM then some of the others. I hear it's CPU is pretty stout though.

Thanks
