Hey Omnia1234, I forget the most important question.

If I buy one with 16GB of mass memory and add more 16 memory card, will the phone will be slower or somethin related to that?

    .. not tat good...

    5.How long does the battery life of standard usage such as watching a film, playing a lot of musics and surfing internet, bluetooth etc.?

    6.Is the phone easy to get scratched?
    maybe.. but i had get a invisible shield for it.

    for me, no. depend on your country's firmware.

      Okay...So now I make my final decision to buy Omnia II because Omnia HD is too expensive for me. But before I buy that, I need to know from all of the users:

      1.How's the video quality on Omnia II?

      2.How's the sound quality on Omnia II?

      3.The browser, is the flash support has problems?

      4.The still image taken from its 5 mega pixels. How's the quality?

      5.How long does the battery life of standard usage such as watching a film, playing a lot of musics and surfing internet, bluetooth etc.?

      6.Is the phone easy to get scratched?

      7.Is there any problems when buying this phone out of the box? Please list.

      8.How's about the navigation? Maps and voice-guided?

      9.Is it true WinMo is power hungry?

      I hope I can get a positive feedback from all of you mostly who has this phone. Please don't compare this one with others. I'll buy another one next maybe. If you want to answer, please put number in front of your answer which will tell me which one you answer.

      Sorry for my bad language.

          is this phone too big to go into your pocket?

          I am thinking this phone is too big, might have to settle with something smaller ¬¬

            Im a little bit puzzled,, my omnia keyboard goes into landscape mode ONLY in opera,is this normal?
            When u really want to do serious typing like in "word or Notes" for example it's a no go.Is it a settings issue on my behalf? or is it a touchwiz 2 fault(in my opinion).

                  How to activate the virtual QWERTY keyboard to the landscape orientation? I’ve tried all settings (Motion Settings has only Etiquette and Calibration options). Is it a I8000 software problem or something missing in this phone? Please, anybody could HELP me with it?

                        Please note the *S*8000 jet only uses proprietary samsung OS - so you can only use java like operamini on it..

                        the *I* 8000 uses windows, so there are many programs, as well as the FULL opera mobile 9.5...

                              Please don't buy this phone. This is my third model of Samsung, hoping they'd sort out their quirks but they just don't. Some of the issues with the Omnia II have already been stated (terrible manual, difficult to control even common features (like sound, volume, selections) and strange behaviour even for answering calls). But, the most irritating (and making it unusable) aspect of this phone is that it gets "busy" doing things (like downloading mail) and simply refuses to pay any attention to its owner while it's busy. Honestly, what's the point of a smart phone with an attention deficit?

                                  A word of caution to buyers.
                                  I've had mine 5 days now and...
                                  ...The manual is very poor, so are the samsung techs.
                                  ...The phone does NOT have voice recognition for bluetooth, which is very poor for this type of phone.
                                  ...When a text is sent, it gives a small alarm, which can't be turned off.If it is turned off, so are all the rings for incoming calls and alarms. Very ordinary for this end of the market indeed.
                                  ...Volume control needs work too.
                                  It could have been the answer to a maidens prayer if these simple things were addressed at the outset.
                                  As it is, Samsung say they won't be fixed at all. They are going to leave it the way it is. WinMo6.5 won't be fixing them either.
                                  Shame.

                                      I have had my I8000 for a week and love it. The screen, functions and ease of use are excellent.
                                      I have 2 questions though; I can send MMS with a photograph attached and can receive MMS with a little computerised style picture attached. If I send myself a MMS with a photograph attached, it works perfectly but I can't receive a MMS with a photograph attachment from other people. It arrives in my Inbox saying new message but I have to 'Download' message. It then connects to the network, then says "Receiving MMS", but then after about 45 seconds it says "Could not download the message".
                                      My other question relates to GPS. In the specs on your website is says 'Yes, with A-GPS support'. I can't find any way to open the GPS on the phone.
                                      Thank you. All in all - a fantastic phone. Well done Samsung!
