The reason I am considerring this phone is because its use WinMobile first and everything else second.

Thus my question are:

- is the full WinMO functionality accessible?
- will it run all WM5 and WM 6 apps
- Can I launch WinMo apps from the cube

My thanks in advance

Dragon

    Jhon, 18 Jul 2009Between Omnia 2 and Jet. I would of prefer the Jet. I do no... morenon-smartphone over smartphone? lol?

    do you even know that WinMO can play ps1/GBA/NES and other games?
    do you even know that WinMo can change its skin and be a better interface?
    do you even know that there is a million apps in WinMo?

    you can do alot..

Don't get me wrong, this looks like a top spec phone, but almost everyone with the iphone seem to love it and since this phone is only new to the market, may be worth the 2 year (24 month contract with something else that has been proven) wait till it evolves a little bit more. Unless of course, it is available quick smart and I can get some feedback on it.

I saw a vid on yo... moreTo the person who posted about a youtube comparison between this phone and the iphone - you said it was a bit "notchy" - the iphone was a bit notchy or the i8000 was a bit notchy? I personally think the i8000 is more geared up for the professional user than the iphone and it's resolution and specs are more than double that of the iphone which is what caught my eye about this phone...very advanced. Plus I need a phone with FULL microsoft support for my work (ie has to be win mobile platform).

                          Can the adminstrator of this thread help remove those unconstructive comments posted previously, better yet, block that person from posting . Its not helping the people here who wants to know more about Omnia2.

                            Regarding to initial reviews from Omnia 2 user forum, it is just simple to cook a ROM with auto rotation for all apps and select enhanced GPS (A-GPS) but this latter could be enabled already by default. One missing minor feature is no digital compass but wth for a few bucks one can be bought on ebay.

                              I think its safe to say that id rather get the 16GB version.

                              Anyways I cant for the review and the feedback from actual users before i dive in.

                              Battery life is one of my biggest concern...

                                Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Advanced R Touchscreen.

                                According to the S8000 Jet review, its functions as if its capacitive BUT with the added benefit of being able to use anything to Poke the screen with.

                                I guess we'll have to just wait and see. ^_^
