Samsung Today 2 The overall impression the interface creates is for incompleteness. Some elements like the homescreen, the main menu and the contacts for example, have been modified in such a way that they resemble the non-smart phones and their purpose is to facilitate operating entirely with fingers. However, the original Windows Mobile applications with small and inconvenient icons, forcing you to use a stylus, are actually always apparent. They are closed from the top right corner, and the personalized ones from the bottom left, which is very annoying as well.
We appreciate the attempt made by the manufacturer to modify the, thus allowing a wider consumer audience to use it, but it’s not working. All most frequently used functions had to be redesigned and not only a few, just to say they’ve done it. The final touches of such details are what make the difference between a good and an exceptional. We were impressed by the fact that scrolling is done as in F480 and most other phones with sensitive displays, and not like the previous Samsung models. In order to scroll you have to run your finger on the in the direction opposite to the one you want to move to. We shouldn’t forget the presence of the accelerometer, which main function is to rotate the picture, depending on the phone’s positioning (however, you cannot turn it upside-down).
The transition is not annoying when working with the OMNIA, and we will discuss the interesting application of that extra later on. Unfortunately, there are no preloaded programs, which to let you fully take advantage of that function like in the game Teeter, seen in HTC Touch Diamond. There are two possible variants of the Homescreen.
The first option represents it divided in three tabs with the main one housing the clock, call log shortcut, messages and e-mails. The other two are intended for speed dialing and frequently used settings (like activating the motion sensor, the mouse cursor, Bluetooth and WiFi). This way of organizing reminds us of the convenient and orderly HTC Home plug-in, we know from HTC Touch. Regrettably, the options offered in OMNIA’s tabs are much less and you cannot take advantage of the full functionality the device offers, just by relying on them. If you want to have more applications on the screen, it is mandatory that you use the stylus to scroll among them since the arrows become miniature. In landscape mode, the majority of the icons remain hidden, which is annoying.
The other option is “our favorite” Widget screen, we are familiar with from F480. Thanks to it, you have access to a few different types of clocks, calendar, music player, radio, profiles, game shortcuts and notes. The last ones appear to be an innovation, but unfortunately, have a limited functionality since their contents is not visible. All these elements can be moved around, according to your needs. On top of that, due to the accelerometer, you actually have two such displays, depending on the screen orientation. This allows you to have plenty of applications and get fast access to them, bypassing the limited screen size. Shortcuts Submenu main menu.
If you press and hold an icon, you’ll be able to modify them. This will allow you to place six applications of your choice, and they will be fully accessible in landscape view. As a whole, the widgets offer a little bit more options, compared to the ones in F480. Once you click on a clock for example, you can modify the hour and the date. However, the lack of variety in the applications present and the inability to add additional ones of your choice, still transform this plug-in in the next colorful marketing trick, to attract attention. The good customization options make the home screen with the big icons our preferred one.
Overall, TouchFLO 3D’s homescreen remains the best for Windows Mobile at the moment, and TouchWiz makes a pleasant, but not very successful attempt to shorten the distance between them. The main menu is a big innovation.
It has large icons, which are extremely convenient for work with fingers and it looks like the menu of a regular phone, structured in a grid. This feature gives you access to all functions and makes the standard Windows Menu pointless. It gives you access to a shortcut submenu where you can choose 11 from all applications available and put them in order, by drag & dropping them. The submenu combining all those programs in an alphabetized list is also very nice. It will save you wandering around, but you’ll have to do some heavy scrolling. Phonebook: The idea of the phonebook is similar to the one seen in; it gives you fast access to a specific letter by selecting it from the field on the right-hand side. It’s nice that the names are written out with a very large font.
Once you chose a given contact, the next personalized screen appears, from which, thanks to the enlarged icons, you will be able to easily dial the mobile, home, or the office number of the person and to send a message. The Caller ID, which unfortunately, is very small here and on incoming call, is also visible. Aside from it, you can setup a ringtone, multiple numbers, addresses, emails and notes. Naturally, the search is done by both parts of the name, but there are no number matches. In order to take advantage of this function, you need to enter in the dial pad.
When inputting numbers there, the search is done in both, the phonebook and the call log, by name and number. Organizer: From OMNIA’s personalized menu, you can set countless alarms, which to repeat daily and others, to remind you every week/month/year (marked as memorial days). Here, you will also find a World Clock with a very pleasant design, which will let you select your city and resembles Maps. The timer is the last application included in this menu. World Clock The Calendar is absolutely standard for a Windows Mobile device and here, you can enter your appointments.
You can use options like: reminder (PRIOR NOTICE 1/5/10/15/30/45 minutes, 1/2/3/4/5/6 hour/day/week), recurrence (Once, Every (same-day-of-the-week), Day (same-date) of every month, Every (same date-and-month) for every year, sensitivity (normal, personal, private, confidential). You can also add attendees (required or optional) from your contacts where e-mail addresses have been added and where meeting requests will be sent. Calendar Examining the calendar can be done by day/week/month/year/agenda and you can choose starting day for the week and the week duration (5-6-7-day week). The appointments for the day are clearly shown in their time limits, so you can see your free time at a glance. You have Tasks menu, where you can add to-do items. For a given Task you can set subject, priority (normal, low, and high), start/due date, reminder (to be notified if it’s due), category (business, holiday, personal, seasonal) and write a note.
The Task can have recurrence (Once, Every (same-day-of-the-week), Day (same-date) of every month, every (same date-date-and-month) for every year and sensitivity (normal, personal, private, confidential). Examining the tasks in a list, you can easily see which of them are finished and which are not. The tasks options can be: sort by (status, priority, subject, start date, due date) or filter (all, recent, no categories, active, completed).
File Explorer The calculator has been redesigned but doesn’t offer better functionality than the standard for Windows Mobile. You also have a unit converter (called Smart Converter), which is very easy to work with. ‘Notes’ are simple notes in which you can input text by the keyboard or by hand as an image. They can be synchronized with outlook. Search is an application searching in all files in the phone. You can specify certain types of files (calendar/contacts/excel/messaging/notes/etc), but the best option is All Data, which will rummage everything in your phone.

File Explorer is the mobile alternative of Explorer in Windows environment with computers. We use it to view the phone memory, including the system folders of the device, which feels like working on a PC. The phone is offered in two variants – with 8 or 16 GB built-in memory. If that’s not enough, you can expand it up to 32GB via a microSD HC card. In other words, you can own a mobile device with the “modest” 48 GB of memory.

(unregistered) you're kind of dumb. Whoever that doesn't like the omnia must have an iphone.
I didn't know that. Thanks for filling me in. And he's jealous because he can't afford it? He could be a millionaire for all you know you idiot. It gets on my nerves when people on websites say stupid things like that without even knowing the person. Thats like me saying that you think the iphone sucks because you can't afford the high monthly bills. And to me, the only thing that this phone has going for it is the new homescreen (but they said not very customizeable or personalized interface) and 5 megapixels.
I don't see anything else that makes it different from other windows mobile phones.i can't believe you called it 'the stupid lolphone. That is by far the stupidest and most childish name I've heard of the iphone.
Just stop making yourself look like an idiot and call it crapple or icrap. 'the stupid lolphone' is not working too well. Anon (unregistered) Comprehensive revew, though as with comment 23, thought it was overly negative in places.

Agreed, the screen resolution isn't the best, but of course we're not at HD level just yet so i'm not all that bothered. Have to love that 5 mp camera though, its the only reason i've stuck with my N95 for so long. I hope samsung have sorted out some of the more basic customisable features. Anyone know whether you can change the message tone to a personalised tone, I know you couldn't do this with some previous samsung models. Either which way, I'm going to end up with one at the end of my current contract.
This whole thing with the iphone though, man its just the first in a series of phones that are all going to have the same/similar features. Who cares what you buy now, buy whatever takes your fancy and ignore everything else! (unregistered) samsung omnia (i900) so i bought this phone a month ago. It arrived from hong kong very rapidly. I read through the instructions, and installed a couple of apps online. I found that a lot of the windows mobile apps did not work with this phone the blue tooth is appalling in comparison to other samsung devices like the yp-p2 and yp-s5, with the signal losing strength very easily, and cutting out a lot. The phone oftens hangs once a day, and i have found that i have needed to remove the battery and switch it back on to use it again.
Which isn't helped by the very long start up time. I'm not surprised by the lengthy start up time, but could do without it on a phone. As with all samsung products, they do not provide software for use on a mac, which is troublesome having to find a windows machine to transfer data, sync the phone, or make any kind of back-up. I have found the text input works well, but for me the only viable option of the 9 available is the samsung phonepad, meaning i'm no better off than using a traditional phone. But this works much better than an my dads iphone which i've played around with a bit.
The battery life is poor. I found i could completely run down a fully charged battery in 3 hours with wifi turned on. With 3g on it would be dead in under a day. Otherwise the battery life is great when used as a plain phone. The camera looks great when it works, which i have found to be infrequently. §1the normal response when trying to start the camera is a box saying that the program can not be run to to a lack of video memory. Even after closing all running programs this is not remedied.
The screen looks great, and the accellorometer works great, and i have no problems with the 1-3seconds it takes to rotate. The problem is with video playback. Not only does the phone not play back.svi (samsung video) but when the device plays a movie it tends to be quite laggy and unpleasant. I haven't tried using the phone with the headphone jack, so can't judge the audio. Network strength is fine. I find the phone book great although the touch and drag scrolling can be annoying.
When you touch to drag, sometimes this doesn't scroll but opens the contact. The menu system is great, simple, but the touch drag through programs proves problematic like with the phonebook. Adding further widgets does not work. So i couldn't add any weather widgets like with the htc phones. Opera browser is lovely to use, and should be available on all phones. It works in every way that could be expected, and i found it much better than safari on mobile.
Copying and pasting is a big point that windows mobile has over apple mobile. The phone looks cool, and i have kept it in a sock so have no scratches or finger prints which keeps it looking wow. My bottom line is that i think the phone is wonderful but windows is slow and prone to crashing so i am selling the phone. Having played with an iphone this last week, and trying the nokia n96, htc touch diamond and black berry bold, i am most impressed by the black berry bold, and keeping a separate device for media playing. The htc dream is out this week, and new blackberry thunder (touch screen) so for now i choose my samsun d900i.
