Window Mobile. The end.

I saw a demo of this on Click on the BBC and the touch interface had severe lag and just looked clunky.

Sure it has more features than the iPhone but I'll stick with it for a while yet. Mostly because the interface actually works and you look so much more cooler with Apple kit than you ever could with Samsung especially running Windows!

From the vids i've seen. It didn't look like lag on the interface, it looked like they were'nt pressing on the touch pad hard enough.

Windows Mobile is terrible. They need to redesign it totally.

Anyone any idea when this is coming to vodafone? I'm torn between this and HTC diamond touch which voda gets at *** beginning of Aug.

And I've been told the 16GB version is a Vodafone Exclusive....

Some questions...any answers appreciated.

FM transmitter?
Photo quality?
3.5mm jack?
Textin - whats it like?

As it's DIVX certified is playback likely to be good? Also will it need to be scale down before being put on the phone?

Look at the youtube vids and read the spec pages that are linked in this thread...

Play have the 8GB version for £479.99 SIM free :eek:

with a release date of 18/08/08 eXpansys have the same release date but a price of £539.95 :eek:

Personally I'd want the 16GB Version but not sure when that is out, and certainly wouldn't be paying that price.

It's either the iPhone 3G or the Omnia for me, both 16GB Versions

ditto, althought i think the omnia is going to get my vote. it just depends if its sluggish / poo to use.

Any idea on entry contract prices for omnia?

Damn, was hoping it would be on the Dolphin 35. Doesn't look like ill be getting this phone untill it comes down a notch

Andybtsn · 21 Jul 2008 at 22:15

Hope this isn't anything like the Tocco

Samsung has given me too much problems in the past. It does look pretty decent, but I would probably wait until I see how buggy and prone to faults it actually is.

Richdog · 22 Jul 2008 at 07:35

The screen size is really putting me off... I think it's sheer laziness on the part of Samsung, and I think it may have ruined what could have been damn near the perfect phone. Also 30fps video recording is a glaring ommission imo that they coiuld have added and it would have rivalled the Xperia.
