This new improved Kinetic Scrolling is based from the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Kinetic Scrolling Engine. It's just my guess though

    why is everybody falling for the "megapixel myth" megapxels dosnt mean its better, meggapixels are just there to blow up imagers to poster size! its all about the sensor and the lense see what nokia did with the nokia n86 was upgrade the cmos lense and added a bigger lense to let more light (just like a standalone digi cam) see other mobiles add more mega pixels and not upgrade the cmos lense and the sensor, and as to that it makes no differenc! so nokia have done the right thig with the n86, people who know the cameras will know what am talking about!

        Exact! Nothing new at nokia. No 8 or12 mp,no hd video,no divx,xvid playback. Motorola now is better. Nokia is still using the glory of n95. Nothing new since then,just small changes like only one model with 8 mp,already very outdated. Shame nokia

            and Lastly, Nokia sells UNLOCKED phones. I have 5 nokia phones, all are unlocked version.

                      Except of the 'all black' theme, I found 1 thing VERY important - I 'got' back my GPS.

                      After upgrading the firmware (from 20 to 21), I checked the GPS connectivity, and I got real sync after 2-3 minutes.
                      In V20 I got weak signal after 15 minutes and got the annoying message about the "cannot sync indoor..."

Samsung has released a dozen updates for the Omnia HD since its release and is officially still in plans to release more updates.
