    There is an android UI for o2 and the android os is in beta phase.I can tell you the UI is not as smooth as i would like, it's laggy, but it does the trick.

            This is the WORST PHONE EVER!
            Windows Operating system is CRAPPY.
            The only thing this thing did was give me a very expensive MP3 Player. the MS Office Mobile is just crap.
            Games are also crappy, apps are crappy.
            If you are planning on purchasing this phone.
            I'd advice you to go for iPhone4 or BB.
            Coz samsung is turning sh!t when it comes to phones.
            I mean, cmon man! Applications arent good at all.

            Games, apps, are crap. CRAP I tell you..
            And it's not really built for personal use.
            I mean, It doesn't have a TWITTER, TUMBLR APP.
            Facebook app is shit.
            I don't know, but I was inlove with samsung before.
            But with the performance of their BEST PHONE for the omnia series is crap.

                        Gwen, 23 Feb 2011How can I update to Window Mobile 6.5.3...? Can anyone help..?You can do this 2ways :
                        1. If you have stock rom, just go to samsung site, download and install KIES and voila. In about 30 minutes you have a new firmware.
                        2.If your rom is custom, you will need Octans,rom parts and drivers fitting your SO.
                        For second solution go to modaco.com.
                        You have nice tutorials there, all you need. If you still can't do it, contact me on e-mail.

                          Can any help me? My O II can't be used as a modem to PC. It well connects to internet that I can surf various website very fast. However, while use it as a modem to PC via internet sharing, (I connect it via USB) the phone connects to the internet but the PC can't. Does anyone know what wrong?

                                Hi Lawrence, I'm so glad you're back with us as o2 users. We missed you as our o2 guru. The information that you've been provided was very helpful and encouraging for me, and perhaps other users too. Hope this is not your last post the one below. My o2 still stock wm 6.5 and hopefully, it'll get upgraded to custom rom soon. Thanks.

                                  Mobilemaster, 19 Feb 2011Which is better, the Omnia II or the Samsung Omnia HD? I ju... moreYou can't compare them.Although both have similar specs,omnia hd is symbian based,while omnia 2 is winmo based.Out of the box, omnia hd i could say is better, but symbian has it's limitations. Winmo,on the other hand, allows customization and you can do pretty much what you want with it.Not to mention the apps available for them. If you want just a phone, buy the hd, if you want true smartphone and you like looking around, gofo o2. it's a win-win situation.

                                    I have this phone for about 4 months and the only thing that pisses me of is that GPS can't function without GSM signal (ie. no sim card/no gsm communication/disabled). I tried different settings in the hidden application, Nogarder GPS, but no effect. Even if I set Standalone Operation (not using A-GPS) the GPS is not working. This is frustrating, Samsung!!! Please, fix the firmware!!!

                                    Otherwise, is the best Windows Mobile phone I have ever had (and I had many), one of the latest greatest WM6.5 monsters, until that stupidity called Windows Phone surfaced out.

                                      Which is better, the Omnia II or the Samsung Omnia HD? I just want to hear an answer here, it's NOT about that I don't know which one is better.
