Dear friends,
I am using Samsung Omnia 2 for over one year now and I find it as the greatest phone I ever had. I usually get bored of all my phones in less then half year. This one I dropped it in water, I fixed it, it has scratches on the display but I still keep it as I love it a lot. I installed the SPB home-screen on it and it really Kicks ass. Go for it, you will not regret it!

I'd hardly go for Samsung again as I firstly had the terrible Omnia (I), then had that replaced twice by Samsung South Africa, the 2nd time went better as that was with the Omnia II. Now the trouble is starting again..
I tried resetting it yesterday with the reset bottom inside the rear cover. THis seemd to soft reset it. How do I hard reset it?

Without browsing,only in gsm, it lasted 5 days.

If it's hardware, only a service/waranty can do it. And you didn't choose the right model to replace omnia :)..just google about iphone 4 loosing signal strength when you keep in your hand :).
So, i recommend a rom like this :
WM 6.5.3 build 23103
NXXJI1 pda.bin
NXXJI1PRO.csc
NXXJJ1 Phone.bin
Best combination ever.
I'm using this build, ultralite and i have stable signal,fast gps lock(15-30 seconds with IGO 8), 3 days battery life(30 minutes talk and 1.5-2hrs browsing). I think it's more than decent. True, if i play games, watch movies..the battery drains in 1 day. but tell me what device doesn't.

Mine seems to loose signal. The signal bar will then show 3 or 4 bars of signal, but no calls are received and when trying to make a call, it displays a message that the signal has been lost or is not available. The remedy is then to switch the phone off and on. I am missing a lot of imporant calls through this and I'm starting to consider swapping it for a iPhone4 if I cannot resolve this.

Maybe YOU need to play with the phone before making an opinion. I'm talking from my own experience,can you say that ?

Don't get me wrong, i know there are problems with this phone, but i can fix most of them. Same issues are WITH ALL. Don't think for a minute that APPLE,HTC,MOTO,NOKIA or any other producer make perfect devices. I had my share of mobile world(HP,HTC,LG,NOKIA,Motorola smartphones) and i've chosen to stick with o2 for many reasons.I said a million times, don't expect a smartphone to think for you.

Wanted an was interested to get this phone but changed my mind fter reading what LAWRENCE had posted.....This is indeed no brainer's phone an Samssung should be ashame to realeasd a unfinished product an should renme this phone to LAWRENCEXXXX or something caused Samsung instruction menu and phone function sucks. Imagine to set ringtone, in other phon just press option...set as ringtone...thats it....this stupid phone got to crete a ringtone folder then it can read from this folder.....BIG TIME STUPID PHONE better off not buy this stupid phone. Some of the quesstions ask aare so basic that yt any educated person should be able to use after reading the menu provided....either th munu is bloody useless or the people bloody lazy. Just not looking for a Samsung Product call LAWRECEXXX. No offence to u Lawrence but Samsung service cenre should tackle all these question so as to feedback to them all there shortcoming of their phone and services. Anyway thanks but no thanks for all your 2cents advise...:)
