    Samsung Omnia i900 / WinMo, both pieces of crap

    As you might know, my iphone got crushed by a car a few weeks back, I have been borrowing a omnia i900 to use until I get my new screen in (well second now I broke my first replacement)

    Windows mobile, what a FUCKING CROCK OF SHIT. How the FUCK can you use this crap?

    These are some of my favorite features of windows mobile

    My phone decided, no, no more regular time, we are going to use military time now. despite me changing it back to 12 hours over and over, it keeps thinking military is better.

    Its sunny, all the time, even when it rains or night time. Theres some stupid buttfuck icon thats supposed to show me what the weather is outside by showing representations of weather. I guess if your too stupid to fucking figure out that when its sunny it will show a sun, cloud will be a cloud, night a moon, etc. Wow THANKS FOR THAT INFORMATION. Oh wait, its sunny ALL THE TIME. The most simple and worthless feature doesn't even work.

    Texts, my phone likes to tell me I got a new text. But wait, I didn't! It just likes to decide that one of my texts I got, a few hours ago, a day ago, whatever, is new and I just got it. Even though its marked as read, I will get a notification telling me that I have a new text. What the fuck.

    The phone button. What the hell. Ok, its all touchscreen, I see how you need a "phone" button to use the fucking phone part of this phone. Well I guess MS decided where this button is, is also an EXCELLENT place to show notifications of missed calls, texts, and voicemails. So now, I want to make a call, I'm driving my automobile. Oh unable to PRESS THE FUCKING PHONE BUTTON because I have some bullshit notification I don't care about. You have to open up each one (text, voice mail, missed call) and press ok. So open up the missed call, chug chug chug, ok. Open up texting now, chug chug chug, ok and so on. After closing all of those fucking windows you can finally use the damn button. By this time if you're lucky you have already forgotten who you were going to call and why.

    QWERTY keyboard is dead, for no reason. Its all touchscreen, and I have like 7 keyboard layouts to choose from. QWERTY worked great, for like a day. Then my phone decided that was too good and refuses to let me use it no. Press all you fucking want, nothing will happen. I am forced to use a different more shitty layout to do my texting.

    Incoming calls, this phone must have a built in screen feature. Because 1/4 of the time when I get an incoming call, my answer button DOESN'T FUCKING WORK. I can't FUCKING PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE. Does the physical button do anything? No, apparently these buttons don't do jack because I have yet to see them work on anything. Only the middle one works to get to the menu.



    I don't know how you people live with windows mobile phones.

    I've had a phone running Windows Mobile 6 for over a year. I have never ONCE experienced a single issue you've described.

      That will teach you to be so careless with your iPhone.

      But seriously, the iPhone does pretty much own other phones and once you've used one, it's hard to use anything else because they spoil the hell out of you.

      I dislike Apple and the Mac O/S, but the iPhone kicks ass.

        ive had my omnia via verizon for a week or so now and i gotta say its one of the coolest phones ive ever had. i see what youre saying about the sun icon on the clock though. i had a htc touch pro2 for a day and that phone was way cooler but it couldnt stream youtube for some reason.

        who are you with provider wise?

          I have ATT. Its not so much an issue with the actual phone, although I do find having an all touchscreen on windows mobile sucks, its windows mobile. I have reset this thing a few times now and it keeps fucking up on me.

          Is this phone supposed to be 3g? Because I have yet to see it. Although I am having issues connecting to the internet, I really don't care enough to actually figure it out.

              I must agree about Windows Mobile. I had an ATT Tilt and it was cool for a week until it got so annoying I couldn't stand it!

              I couldn't believe a phone can get me so mad!

              I will never get a Windows Mobile phone again .

                    I spent an hour with tis POS last night, trying to help a buddy simply play media that was on his card.

                    Fuck that phone.

                      Windows Mobile is the reason I still have the Treo700. Once the Pre comes out it is going to rock, I thought about Iphone but I pretty sure I made the right choice by waiting.

                        the newest iphone has 3g, which is only available in major cities and surrounding areas, at least for now.

                          Blackberry is fail.
                          Windows mobile is fail. Face it its windows. The last 3 months of having my blackjack 2 i had to reset the phone every week because of all the bugs i was having.

                          got the iphone in february. all i can say is that im dissapointed in the simple lack of features that have been standard around for 2 years. i.e. MMS is the biggest one. but overall i have been satisfied with its ingenuity.

                          but it has email built in, with maps, and i got a scoshe adapter for my ipod ready stereo and it charges my phone and plays the ipod through my stereo.

                          Speculation is that apple is going to release a new iphone this summer along with the 3.0 software for their iphones, but all apple marketing is purely speculation.
