Samsung Omnia i910

Do you have to buy the Nationwide Email Plan (30 Dollars a Month), to activate this phone? Because I know verizon does that with all the Blackberries.

How much is the activation fee? Can that be talked out of?

Ok People, I played with an IPhone 3G at the ATT store in New Brunswick, NJ for about an hour. I must say that I was VERY impressed. The internet browser is second to none! The call quality was crystal clear. I do understand that I was in the store and not out on the dock at the summer home in Pt. Pleasant. The camera doesn't have a flash, but that is minor. The touch screen is great.

The Storm was good, but not great. The browser is good, but not quite like IPhone. The video screen was awesome to say the least. It looks like HD on a phone. I didn't care for the push typing though. I like the touch of the IPhone.

I will test the Omnia, before making a final decision.

Right now, the IPhone is in the lead. I would hate to leave VZW ...

i played with one in the store and saw it has a keyboard but does it have t9? i couldnt figure it out?

I already tried the bb storm and it lost a few calls. I returned it and am back to my pearl and it is pretty good. Any one have issues with reception yet?

I am now looking for a windows mobile phone so that I can download skyfire that will allow me to have flash. Thanks for any info!

I am aware the Omnia possesses PC sync, but does anyone anticipate troubles syncing with Mac? Thanks.

When I saw for the first time this phone on gsmarena.com I just fell in love with it. I need it to upgrade my T-mobile phone, but I didn't like the G1 😢 , I got used to winmo platform!
I got the unlocked GSM version of Omnia from e-bay, knowing that I wouldn't be able to use the T-mobile's 3G, just the EDGE/GPRS.
When I got it, I connected it to T-mobile just fine, but I cannot use the internet, the connection settings keeps me on the asian's networks. Any help??????????? Thanx 🙂

Is this the U.S. version of the Samsung Haptic? this phone has been the rant and rave in Korea for the past few months. People are paying upwards of $600+ to get this phone over there!

i wonder how it will do here. i just ordered it for overnight shipping...

Just came from Circuit City store on Rockville Pike in MD. They just put it on display this morning. Really nice. I am considering exchanging my Storm for it since my storm is nothing but bugs and I just came from a prior Win Mobile phone that I loved (Sammy i760).

The keyboard seems so much more responsive that the Storm,. I can type much faster on the omnia and with less mistakes than the storm.

Not sure if the corporate Verizon stores have the Omnia on display yet, but CC does. THey have it for $199

why did they do all of the proprietary wiring? I was so happy about the FM radio but I don't want the special wires needed for this phone. I like everything else about it. It seems that even phones are governed by Lord Murphy.

contract is up with verizon. i was looking for a new phone. this looks like it might fit the bill. any advice would be appreciated. looking for something probably no bigger than this one, qwerty keyboard, and wi-fi are some main features i'm looking for. i don't want to have to get a data plan, but would like to be able to pick-up emails at wi-fi locations (is this even possible?) i'm old. any suggestions? thanks

But can anyone give us feedback on the call quality on this phone? Is it loud and clear?

Ok. Sorry ahead of time If this sounds lame. I use mac at home. I like verizon better than AT&T thats why?
SO, Does windows mobile get in the way of anything if I really do not need it. I like this phone for the camera, texting, casual checking of the web or email and most of all calls.. So, can sync contacts with a mac? Prob not I know. Thanks guys.

I know the GSM version does have haptic feedback, but I have watched a couple reviews of the CDMA version that mention the lack of haptic feedback. Do they just have to settings screwed up or is it missing on the American version? One such review is from Mobileburn.

I use the speaker almost 90% of the time...A half duplex doesn't sound useful...

Ok people, I was just about to go out and order the storm, even though there are bugs to work out. Now I am thinking of waiting for this. Thoughts?
