Also in them days there were not app stores you had to go get your software yourself.Visit Handandgo,All about Symbian,Getjar etc then see if the app worked or was just a load of rubbish.

        Ahhh, the omnia HD, the camera and screen on that beast was unmatched at that time(except for some Japanese phone that was exclusive in Japan), I still remember how the screen had stains on it because of the early imperfect amoled technology, and the Symbian system was a horror to work with comparing to current android and iOS system, yet I felt a sense of archivement every time I got a little customization done on the phone thru painstaking "hacking".

            The good old' days when Nokia, Blackberry, Motorola and Sony was still relevant. Now we have Apple, Samsung, LG and Chinese Phones. Not that it's a bad thing though.

                Still got the Nokia N8. The N86 definitely should have been mentioned. It took mobile photography to another level.

                  Had Omnia HD also. What a waste of money. That was the last samsung i had. Since then i refuse to buy Samsung phones. They didnt even have update on that phone. Worse phone ever except for camera which was the best at that time
