Verizon Wireless - Samsung Omnia i910

[Tapout]

Anybody else on this forum have this incredible phone? It's no iPhone or Blackberry, but it does come standard with 5.0 MP camera, Windows 6.1 software, full touchscreen, and above all, it's super clean.

Im interested in checking out verisons DROID. looks pretty impressive

[AgentTripleX]

As much as I love Apple I'd like to try something else. I'm scared though. :(

The droid is fantastic from what I've seen of it.

I really like everything I'm hearing about the HTC HD2. The only thing keeping me from jumping on it when it comes out is the fact that it runs on windows mobile, not android. Granted, its a stripped down re-engineered version of winmo with a custom user interface designed by HTC, and supposedly the best winmo phone to date as a result. we'll see. If they offered it with android, i'd be all over it.

Is it also a verison phone?

I'm going to check out Droid around March when my G1 contract expires; never going back to a Win-phone.

[FLNICK26]

nice

How do you like the G1?


I assume for these phones you would need a data plan... (or add data to your plan???) Anyone know how much that runs for Verison?

[Tapout]

With Verizon all you really need to do (depending on the service/software capabilities of the phone) is pay an extra $30-75, maybe $100/month for internet, email, etc.

My main concern with non apple products is syncing with my macs for back up. I had a Palm Treo before and always had trouble.

[Tapout]

Syncing a Windows phone to a Mac and vice/versa REALLY screws the hard drive. Learned that the hard way with my Omnia on my MacBook. Lolol

[pdisme]

Syncing an Android-based phone to anything other than Google doesn't work for shit, which is the only thing I hate about it. Just to get my contacts from Outlook into my phone I have to export them to a text file, which for whatever reason takes outlook about 20 minutes, go to gmail, delete all my contacts there, import them over again, then wait for the phone to sync up with gmail. This also means anyone who gives me their contact info, I can't add them as a contact on my phone, I have to add it to a note, add it to outlook at home, export, import, sync. Lame. One day Google will hopefully realize that not everyone wants to use their crap and maybe wants to connect to a corporate network.

Jesus. Ditch the Google shit dude. Lol. It's only making you more frustrated.

Oh yea, FYI, phone broke. Little brother was visiting me and got ahold of it and bolted to the bathroom and dumped it in the freakin' toilet. So now I (temporarily until sometime in February) have an LG VX5000. WHOO-HOO!! Lol. NOT.

[pdisme]

Ditch it for what, something that's slow and has no apps or something with apps that cost money, no keyboard and coverage that doesn't work anywhere? Think I'll stick with what works.

[Tapout]

Anything else that meets your substantially high standards for a device that makes and receives phone calls? I'm lucky enough to have what I have now so I'm good with shitty coverage. Fuck do I care? Lol but I feel your point. Got money, flash it I guess.

Its more the fact that he doesnt just use his phone for making phone calls. Dave is never off the clock, and as I understand it, the G1 is one of the best that runs the apps he needs. worth the hoop jumping for a stable OS and free apps.

[Tapout]

Well whatever works. I'm sure at some point I'll need the expensive "apps" and shit but as for now, texting works just fine. Lol
