Looks like a really nice phone. I'm probably going to buy this or the iphone. Does anyone know when it's getting released in the US (or for that matter, in Europe)?

I want it also. I think it's already available on ebay. Atleast people are selling them. Expensive though, about 800 USD+ from what I'm seeing. It will come down, I hope.

It's a very good phone, check gsmarena.com, it's in a head-to-head comparison with the HTC Diamond.

Yo, how do you know it is being released this Friday? Online or Retail?

Heard this phone is coming to AT&T in September..but they are going to cripple it, 2MP, no GPS...why? Why on Earth would AT&T do this? Cause they are probably obligated by Apple somehow. Sucks. Have to figure out a way to get it from overseas without spending a grand.

Anyone use a N82 by chance? I hear it's a fantatic phone..just in case someone recommends the iPhone, I can't. I'm on T-Mobile. Sucks. Again. Hahaha!

I haven?t heard anything about AT&T crippling it. That would suck big time!

I'm on the fence about getting one of these or an iPhone. The Omnia definitely beats the iPhone in features hands down, but I?ve heard the iPhone has a much cleaner interface then Windows Mobile and is a lot easier to use. I think the price of the Omnia will be my deciding factor.

I had read it yesterday on some site I ended up on after reading pages of forums. Hmm..sounds familiar. LOL. Anywys, I started reading at Phonearena or whatever.

I'm on the fence also, but this phone is retardedly amazing, and I hear it runs circle around the iPhone from my friend in Singapore (he has both). He says it's camera, features, and interface are all very good, not as nice as the Apple UI, but not "really that much worse." They have toned down the sorry Windows UI with their own themes that are very touch friendly he says. The only thing, one phone is subsidized the other, well..none at all. GPS works like a charm (has A-GPS, also) and it can do a bunch of different keyboard layouts, Qwerty, T9..etc.

I'll buy it if I can find it, but I don't want to spend a G.

Looking at the N82 also. Hearing it's also a beast, just waiting on some emails to come back.

^^ Because they technically are! They we're created in order to compete against the iphone, that's why these phones are so important for CMDA services like verizon and Sprint(in the US), or else a lot of their subscribers would go flocking to ATT due to the "iphonemania".

There's a nice review of this phone here. It mentions that it only supports UMTS/HSDPA at 2100 MHz and therefore can't be used to it's full extent in the US, however other sites have 850/1900/2100 MHz and, therefore, can be used just fine in the US. Anyone know which one is correct?

Also, strangely, Samsung has removed the information they had for the i900 on their site(specs, demos, pictures). :blink:

  • 4 weeks later...

Actually for those of us that are very excited about the US release...you would know that the i900 will not exactly be the model number. Over at howardforum, boygenious, and other forums, the guess is that it actually will be the i907 or i908. It will have gsm/edge/hspda/gps/wifi. It will also have the 5mp camera.

    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
