call button - it shows both the call log and the keypad at the same time. sometimes, you need to observe.
Buttons sound - go to settings - sound setting - hardware buttons tone and disable it.
Touchwiz UI is so laggy - then don't use it, use the winmo6.5 default.
notes application - do you know that when you press and hold to a file, a context menu will appear (Rename/Move..., Delete, Create Copy, Select all.....)
Loudspeaker - have you heard audio feedback??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_feedback
Widgets - that's why you have 3 home screens... CS
message copy - all the messages that you received are all READ ONLY files so you need to forward it then highlight the strings that you need then press and hold. a context menu will appear.
volume - do you know that you can press the middle icon to move from unmute to vibrate to mute???? and you don't even have to press OK... (oh man....)
windows UI - Winmo6.5 has the best windows mobile UI so far.

Nikhil, 24 Jan 2010Hey friends , just bought the phone around 1 week back in I... more@Nikhil:
The WinMo 6.5 update is not yet available in India. I spoke to the Samsung Customer Service and they have no idea when the upgrade is going to be launched in India. So the only thing you can do is wait till they officially announce it. By the way, Omnia 2 is now listed on the Indian website.

I've heard of updating the firmware using ones from singapore, but I'm thinking twice as it may void the warranty... Samsung, plase do release your WinMo 6.5 update on other countries as well...

Hey friends , just bought the phone around 1 week back in India & the Box says can update the phone to Winmo 6.5 but the website of samsung mobile india doesnt even list the phone there ..... After checking the website of samsung india in the phones section found the availability and support for the phone, but there is no where mentioned about the Winmo 6.5 update, where as Samsung has already launched the upgrade for their customers in US, Singapore and many other countries. I really wonder why havent they have done it in India... If any of the Samsung guys reading it, do come up with a face saving answer for your brand.

Hi,
I just bought this mobile a week back back after a lot of reading and research. No doubt the mobile is a powerhouse given the specifications but I did find a number of problems with the phone, which are very basic and you do not expect such things to be missing in a smartphone like this:
1. The Settings menu is very limited and the phone doesn't allow you to customize as you many expect from a general phone. The phone doesn't allow you to set shortcuts on the homescreen to replace 'Phone' and 'Phonebook'. The call hardware button by default takes you to the keypad and not the call log as was expected. In that scenario, it would have been great if I could have changed the shortcuts to something else.
Also, there is hardly any customization possible when it comes to Data Connection settings. If you go inside, it takes you to the connection settings page as provided by Windows, which is far from simple or user-friendly.
There are hardly any settings available for message and call. I could not turn off the delivery notifications, as there was simply no option available.
2. The Touchwiz UI is very slow and laggy. Its only when you go inside that you can expect the UI to respond much better.
3. Although the proximity sensor used to turn off the display when the phone is pressed to your cheek during a call, there were constant button presses because of the screen touching my cheek. The constant tap noise was quite irritating and you don't want unexpected button presses during a call. The phone is not finger-friendly in some cases, but it is quite cheek-friendly during a call.
4. The Notes application is very complicated and deleting a previous note was quite a task. First of all the UI is not finger friendly and if you select a note, it always used to open with no option to delete it. Only when you have the note selected in the list do you get the option of deleting it but doing that was quite a task.
5. I have seen this problem in a number of Samsung phones now: when you activate the loudspeaker close to another phone which is in call, the phone emanates a very loud irritating loud noise. The problem occured when the two phones were in call with each other.
6. Why do you have to get a widget out and then put it back inside which screws up the order of the widgets?
7. There is no definite option available where you can select text in a message to copy. You can select all the text but part of it proved to be impossible.
8. Turning the phone to silent mode, which is the simplest task in most phones, was also quite difficult. When you click the volume side buttons, you can slide the system and Ring volume to your liking. There is an OK button which gives you the impression that you have to press it after making your selections but the screen goes off automatically in about 3 seconds which hardly gives you time to do the selections properly.
9. Complicated and non finger-friendly Windows UI is difficult to use when you go on the inside.
I had to give the phone back because of another hardware flaw where the MIC was not working when taking on the loudspeaker. But I was not able to replace it with another Omnia 2 because of the above problems.
I have heard the SPB Mobile Shell solves most of the UI problems. Is it true? Is it really worth buying SPB Mobile Shell to replace the phone UI?
Also, do let me know if anyone has any solutions to the above problems I posted. Might give me a reason to buy the phone again :)
Cheers.
