You ever have one of those Homer Simpson (Doh!) moments? This one may seem obvious but it didn’t occur to me. The Omnia is a touchscreen phone, so you can do everything just by touching different things on the screen right?. Why would you need or have a mouse? I’ve used that little black physical button down at the bottom of course, but only as a button. Well, turns out it’s an optical mouse too – it responds to you brushing your finger past it in different directions. Where it really comes in handy is when you have multiple email accounts setup on your phone, or just want to switch between email, SMS (text messages), and MMS. Open up your email, and try brushing your finger past the button/mouse from left to right or right to left. Then do it again to cycle through the various messaging options… Continue Reading »
Well, finally got around to uploading some sample pics in the user forum. I don’t consider myself a great photographer, but here is a sample taken with my Omnia camera:

Well, I was stuck waiting for someone the other day and decided to listen to some music on my phone. I didn’t have my earphones with me, so was expecting a pathetic, tinny sound from the tiny built in speaker on the back of my Omnia. To my surprise and delight, the sound was amazingly good! It did get a bit tinny at full volume, but at 4 (5 is max) it was still loud enough to enjoy and kept a nice rich sound.
Just one more thing that I love about this phone!
I just spotted this – Wirefly is having a sale on Verizon phones today only. If you act before midnight tonight you can get an Omnia for under $40. I can’t say enough good things about this phone – I paid $150 for mine, wish I could have gotten a deal like this!

Well, I was so excited to finally get my own i910 Omnia the other day. I setup the wifi on my home network, played around with most of the settings, totaly fell in love with the phone.
And then… I decided to try a firmware upgrade. BAD decision. If you’re on Verizon, then maybe you could get away with it – lots of people have had sucess with some of the updated firmware’s out there. BUT – if you’re on anything else then DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! The only i910 firmware upgrades available that I can find anywhere on the net are specifically for Verizon. I’m on SaskTel mobility in Canada, but of course I didn’t clue in until after the firmware started flashing. The phone finished the upgrade no problem but is now a Verizon phone – unusable in Canada.
