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:

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.

      You can use MCT to create an updated ISO and then use Rufus to create the bootable USB.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.
