I now have the pixon and although it has it's good points. It is still not worth gettin rid of my iPhone 3g 16gb yet. iPhone still has the best browser you can get it really is unsapassed. The pixon falls way behind. And the music player is hardly of iPod quality.
Can anyone tell me how to get the keyboard to appear when go onto google search. I get the search box but no keyboard.

Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970I think you'd better go for i900 Omnia, nice 5MP camera, decent video recording, everything! Iphone does not radio, no camera (well, that 2MP with no AutoFocus, no flash and no video recording is not considered as one these days!!) and some SW bugs. I think Omnia is the besst choice.

I wish it had wi-fi!!!! Then I would definantly buy it!!!! I hate the looks and UI of Renoir!!! But I think i900 OMNIA must be a good choice (don't care about the camera, 5MP or higher) but Pixon is nicer than Omnia. Any way, SAMSUNG rocks!!!

jonesdude, 12 Dec 2008thanks for the Offline mode tip. I knew MGMaps could do tha... moreNo problem mate.
I'm not all too bothered about losing the Renoir, the looks (imo) aren't THAT great.
As long as it's faster to get round, and the camera is adequate (I'm only upgrading from the 3.2mp on the SE K800i), and i can install and use MGMaps, im sorted.
I can live without the wi-fi on Renoir lol.
Thanks for the help, and i'll report back with my Pixon on monday hopefully!

Sickness, 12 Dec 2008You can save time and money by installing it over USB cable... morethanks for the Offline mode tip. I knew MGMaps could do that but never had the patience to try it out as i'm on unlimited data plan, but i'm going to try it out soon.
As for the renoir? I had that 1st but had to return it cos of some faults(search renoir thread for my posts on that) I do miss some parts of the Renoir, it's exterior was more cool and sleek, the menus looks cooler more unique. But after 2 days so far i prefer the Pixon. It's like the renoir with the style and coolness removed. The desktop area is fixed, i mean, You cant add loads of widgets and scroll up and down the desktop to access them. Pixon is Faster overall when flicking through menus, no momentum scrolling though. And the contacts selection could put you off, no typing first few letters, just scrolling through alphabetically with A,B,C etc on left hand bar. I like the browser better thatn LG's too, sure it's no Firefox but does the trick, i also use Opera Mini for some sites. Google Maps is easliy installed if your operator removes it.

jonesdude, 11 Dec 2008Hi, I've actually got my own Pixon now. It does work as a S... moreYou can save time and money by installing it over USB cable ;D
You can save google map tiles at level 15 zoom (level 16 = thousands of files) with a tool from Mobile GMaps and then use Offline Mode. = FREE GPS.
(This works with my LG Renoir when i'm out and about)
Other than this, could i ask for opinions?
Should i replace my slow as hell, dodgy LG Renoir with the Samsung Pixon???? heeelllpp

I just sent back this phone :( The hardware is beautiful, the software however isn't. The operating system does not allow you to customise the phone as much as Windows Mobile, you cannot download apps (apart from a few Java ones..) and there were several bugs in the software which meant that I had to send it back. Also the default internet browser sucks, but this can be circumvented by installing Opera Mobile. The hardware is beautiful though, the screen is very responsive and the camera works very well. I don't use GPS but it is there and if you get the phone on T-Mobile in the UK, Google Maps is also loaded. The Messaging program is a bit crappy, you have to exit the program and click a different icon in order to start a new text. Why isn't there a "new message" button in the inbox? So yeah, the software needs a lot of work on, but despite this I am looking forward to getting the phone back once it is repaired :)
