The Samsung OmniaHD i8910 ... this NEEDS it's own thread.

I want to get this phone, but no way am I paying £400-700 for it!

Sometimes I fail to understand how people like samsung think when they make a phone that costs that much on its own, but is on a normal £35 per month contract with free minutes and everything.

Anyone know if its possible to escape your current contract and get a new phone without having to pay £200-300++? I dont really want to change my provider, just want a new phone, had this for ages now, want one that actually works as a phone!
 
Guys having problems with the youtube app: can't you use the app on m.youtube.com? The bitrate on that is fine for me on n95, although maybe the increased res is the problem.
 
people selling unlocked i8910s on ebay
they said its unlocked in a shop, think its true? or not?
I am interested in buying one (dont care about the orange branding, will re-flash when possible)

Found majority of apps and games for nokia 5800 work fist time on i8910
although the games aren't quite perfect i think due to different screen implimentation (capacative =v= resistive).

zia
 
So is this phone worth getting then or should i hold out for the N97 as was my original plan? I've been pay as you go for a few weeks now and its getting expensive!

yes ite true they would unlock mine for a tenner but i couldnt be bothered so put it on ebay locked or there is a firm online who do a code for £13.99 and that works too as i know another guy with the same handset now unlocked on o2

.Yeah went onto the site yesterday and its defo got less bitrate and res and the framerate isnt as good ie jerky . Spent a while comparing it alongside another phone.

To be honest if you did get this phone wait for it on other networks or get it unbranded.

Orange firmware on it is a bit sucky.

Anything i should know before i start having a play?

1) Do i charge it for many hours first without touching it?
2) Are there any non-crap windows based SMS tools that dont take an age to update from the phone, i.e. better than Nokia PC Suite?
3)Any MUST HAVE apps?
4)Facebook?

Hello, are you sure its working?
cuse, this will be what decides if I get the i8910 now or not, lol

actually, what do you think guys, is it worth getting this orange phone, unlock it and debrand it when the generic comes? or wait for the sim-free version?

Any idea what would cause my camera to take shots that look normal, then compress them making things look thinner when actually moving them to the computer? Its very odd!
