I am selling my iPhone 4 and getting a wp7 device. Had a omnia 7 briefly before, but now I am in doubt if I should get a Optimus 7 instead. Reading this thread shows a lot of trouble with de device?
Well, it's typically people who are in trouble that write in these forums, so I don't think that means much. My Omnia 7 has been absolutely perfect in the month that I've had it.
Omnia 7 is the best Phone i've ever owned.
I'm running the Mango Beta 2 7712 and it's just awesome!
The phone is fast, has an amazing display and is very robust - go for it!
Don't forget omnia 7 has got a super amoled screen! buy it not the lg one

Approve! the same for me
Well it depends... I tested side by side my omnia against an optimus 7 for a day and i have to say, as an actual phone the lg its much, much better... A lot Better signal strength and no 3g to 2g call problems as cut calls, robot sounds (i always have problems) btw.
Still, i decided to keep my omnia and gave as a gift the lg, and i tell you why... 4" SuperAmoled screen.
Its just soo beautiful, specially with wp7 black bg... I really couldnt go bat to lcd... So i have to keep forcing 3g or 2g only depending of the situation, which does get rid of the incall problem (still worst signal strength than the lg though) and never looked back...
i have an omnia 7 but i would trade it in for a wp with and bigger storage and i know optimus 7 has 16gb to the omnia7 8gb unless you get a 16gb but there hard to get.
I've been using a 16 Gb Omnia 7 for the last month and I'm very happy so far.
I expect I'll be even happier when Mango is available and ready at Zune.
The SuperAMOLED screen is amazing, I just would like to make the battery last longer although it happens to me with all my gadgets.
i am using my omnia 7 for last 2 months..
i am pretty happy with it..
but i have one problem in updating it to RTM.. i am having RC , when i try to update it to RTM it restarts and shows USB connection on screen and hangs there..
any ideas...
help will be much appreciated..
PS: i am not able to post this in dev thread as i am new to this forum
Omnia 7 is one of the best Phones i've ever owned.
I'm running the Mango Beta 2 7720 and it's just awesome!
Omnia 7 ordered from ebay.de/200€. Next question wait for official mango or try to figure out how to install the beta version?
why don't you install the mango RTM build. its what carriers will be sending to their customers (essentially)

I am totally new in this area. Yes I should of course install the latest. Did a brief research on how to install software, but it seems more complicated than on iphones?
Because it isn't official.
Carriers will be sending this + updated drivers, radios, bootloaders and what not with it. This is just raw stuff from MS that OEMs received.
The official way is simply "next next next ok" in Zune. I'd say wait for the official update - my bet is that it is coming within a month or month and a half. You will have no problems upgrading to RTM with drivers etc.
I'm happy with 16GB Omnia 7 no brand on mango RTM
Dont buy a WP7 device, you will cry..
Is it possible to unlock nodo 7392, using chevron?

Looks like there is major issues with getting parts for these new phones, wifi issues and no expandable Micro SD (without voiding warranty).. DVP has been delayed till January 2011 in UK.
I'm feeling a little sorry for MS at moment, they've put alot of work in to this OS and they have been really let down by there handset Partners. Should have gone with one phone and one manufacturer like the G1 and the Iphone 1.0, got a platform that worked and a good handset.... then developed from there. MS's partners have saturated the market with bad handsets and it would seem they done have the stock to sell them either. Orange UK always seems to be out of stock on their online store.
What they seem to have is the titanic, great in theory but due to substandard build quality it will sink.
I've been looking forward to a qwerty phone for a while, had the SPV E650 with Wimo 5.0 and loved it.... but im really doubting the build of these new phones... that being said played with an Omnia 7 the other day and thought it was great....
Here's the acticle I got my info about delays from.. take a read if you like and post any thoughts you may have.
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/dell-venue-pro-delayed-in-the-uk-due-to-component-supply
We've known that for a few days, it's been discussed in other threads (the UK delay I mean).
Otherwise I totally agree with you about Microsoft being let down by manufacturers, they just went for minimum specs and we just have ok WP7 devices (a couple of 16GB phones and no 32GB, are you serious?). I am particularly disappointed in HTC as they usually create amazing phones. I guess that's why people are excited about the Venue Pro, it seems to be clearly above the rest.
2nd gen can't come soon enough.
sorry didn't realize it had been mentioned already, did look through titles but didn't see anything specific. My Bad on double posting, cheers for heads up
As for the handsets.. im starting to think Im gonna go with Omnia 7, its looking a lot more appealing and i can deal with lack of keyboard. The screen on it is beautiful.
2nd Gen is a great thing to have but I'm at end of my contract this week, so need a new phone now... also been waiting a year for WP7 to come out and starting to get a bit impatient lol.
I'm in the same position, contact ends this month and been waiting for WP7 since I can't remember. That said, got the HD7 for my wife so I at least have one around that I can play with to partly sate my hunger!!
The DVP did seem to be the perfect device that I was looking for (I struggle without hardware keyboards although I have to say that the soft keyboard on WP7 is much better than any I've used before). So annoyed that it's delayed so badly, but I think I will resist jumping in with a device that's not quite what I want, and wait for the new year, and maybe some rivals to the DVP when it finally arrives!

My thought exactly. I'm tempted by the HD7 because it's available now and with 16GB but really I want a Venue Pro so I'll wait... unless I import .
well im resonably happy to say that I rang orange today and got an Omnia 7 upgrade for £9.99, with good contract. Seems MS are going with Cloud storage these days which is why they handsets have small HDD's.. i can live with that along as I can get on WIFI lol..
So i will now wait untill the next incarnation of the DVP and see what that has too offer, maybe they will be on 3rd gen by then

I have a Zune HD with 8GB of music on it, if I get a WP7 I want it to also be my Zune so I need at least a 16GB device
Bad news about the lack of memory card on this as it was the main reason I was considering it over the other WP7 devices.
Any of you guys plan to get a new phone? With all the problems/issues i have with my Hero, I think it's time to get a new phone.
I'm waiting for the Nexus S, then I'll (sadly) sell my Hero...
I recentenly received a Htc Desire Z for my birthday and my mom says I need to sell it. But I don't want to because it has such good memories

I think W7 looks like the lamest OS for phones ever. the tiles concept in my opinion is ridiculously dull, typically windows though! I reckon id get bored of the orange (orange?!) tiles within a few days. especially after all the customisation ive been able to do with android

You can change the orange tiles you know? To answer the original post, i'll be getting either a Samsung omnia 7 or a desire hd next month. Most probably the omnia 7 though, just because I love how simplistic wp7 is and how its so different from all the other OS'.

I can guarantee that rooting your phone and loading a froyo rom will undoubtedly fix the bluetooth problem. I had the 2.1 official update until a few days back and then rooted and loaded the FroydVillain 1.6 rom. Previously I could pair with my Nokia BH-504 headphones, but when using them on a call they would hang due to a software incompatibility of the official ROM with the BT stack of the headphones.
Now they work perfectly. So will your car BT. I cannot be 100% sure, but I'm pretty confident on a 95%.
Your other problems with the phone are lag related. On Froyo the phone flies. No more lag, the Froydvillain rom has a overclock/underclock utility to ensure maximum performance with even better battery life. Trust me. Use it.
And if you have the 2.1 update then there is an almost 1-click root method on the villainrom.co.uk forum.
I wanted to get the Desire HD but because of the stock issues with carriers, just went to o2 and got my self a Htc HD 7 and just loving it
I havent used a windows phone before but i think Microsoft has done a decent job, although a software update will go long way with more apps in the market will help as well
guys the 4:3 inch screen phones are goody, dont even feel like using my comp any more.
I'm due to upgrade my GSM Hero on January 4th. I'll definitely miss it but I always like to get a new handset come upgrade time.
I'm currently torn between the Desire HD and Galaxy S, however both of them have issues that bother me. The main ones being:
Desire HD - Battery life is reported to be very poor. Speaker quality not great. Possibly a bit too big also. LCD screen not as good as Samsung AMOLED.
Galaxy S - No Sense UI. Suffers lag out the box (fixed with custom ROMs and tweaks). Also quite a platsicy phone compared to the HTCs I'm used to. Looks like an iPhone 3GS. Also, it doesn't bode well for Samsung when XDA members can fix things they themselves can't!
I'm almost tempted to wait it our for the new series of dual-core Android handsets like the LG Star / new Moto phone but I'm not sure if / when they will be released in the UK. The Galaxy S II and Nexus 2 are tempting too but again, it's a case of if / when they are released in the UK.
One thing is for sure though, I'll definitely be sticking with Android.

Root your phone. If your planning on replacing it anyway, and hate it this much, just root it. Tehres lots of one-click root tools now. So do that, then install clockworkmod recovery, and install a decent ROM. DONE.

Thanks, I'll try to root my phone this weekend.
I was thinking of upgrading my Hero as well and was planning on getting the Nexus S but that has left me very underwhelmed so I'm not going to bother. There's nothing else out there that I'd be willing to spend my hard earned on.
I think many of us wanted the nexus s.....not sure now
I'm gonna change it for the Nexus S in january. The Hero has been great but its time for something new

Hi Guys,
After lots of fun with my Hero and the great ROMs that are around here made it more fun.
Today I became the proud owner of the Desire HD how great is this huge screen, and the speed. It makes the Hero look so obsolete!
Still this was my best phone ever! Androided and rooted for life thanks to my Hero.
Ofcourse going to root my Desire HD!
It seems as though the Desire HD is the upgrade of choice from the Hero.
Hopefully us Canadians will get a version that will support our 3G bands soon
I got sick of waiting for updates and waiting for Arabic language support , so I bought an iPhone 4 . I still have the htc hero and I will keep it for one more year .

Not sure what to do with this, maybe keep it and take it out when there's a chance I could lose/damage my phone, or sell it to envirofone or something for about £90 (which will also pay my early cancellation fee for Vodafone)
Hi Guys , first post and hoping for some help.
I'm due to upgrade this week and am trying to decide between the Desire Hd and Samsung Omnia 7 . I like the idea of Windows 7 and can probably live with no card expansion . Can anyone tell me how the battery life compares between the 2 ?
Can i also ask if loading mp3s i have on my laptop is possible on the Omnia 7 ?
I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer
Cheers

Well i get pretty good battery life I have data always on and go on the internet regulary and listen to music. Get a day and a half out of it.
I like Windows Phone 7. Its nice clean and simple but polished. Games and Apps are far superior to anything on Android anyway.
Cant say anything bad about the Desire HD but that the build quality has gone crap compared to the previous desire. Same happened from HD2 to HD7 transittion. I had a HD2 before and now have HD7 and the build quality is not impressive. its a beautiful phone but im scared to break it
My biggest con on Omnia is the 8GB memory. 300 songs and a few Xbox Live Games on your phone and you will be dealing with memory low warning :S
Its managable but one thing that really could have been thought better before going for 8

As for the battery, I get a day of fairly heavy use easy. That's with both the data-connection (3G) and WiFi on constantly. Definitely better than the HD2 and also the HD7.
Well you can't get the 16gb version in Ireland :S

Having tried two HTC models (HD7 and Mozart), the LG Optimus7 and the Samsung Omnia7 I've come to the conclusion that HTC is no longer what they once were. I would rank them, best to worst, Samsung, LG, Mozart, HD7 - all things taken into consideration. Sure, it's still a Samsung, but it's by far the best device out there, especially if you pick up the 16GB model which, if not available where you live, can be imported from Germany for less than what it costs in the UK anyway (as long as you don't get it "free" on contract of course).

Getting it free on contract is pretty much the only way I can get a new phone, unless I sell the HD2 and thats never gonna happen.....
I'm judging Samsung purely on the reputation they have for they're Android handsets because WP7 isnt mature enough to do so. Which may be quite unfair on my part I guess.....

Ahh right...
I think the line ups are pretty similar since they're owned by the same parent company.
agree. Non of the HTC handsets are what they used to be.
They feel cheap and fragile. Sold my HD7 and sticking with Omnia 7 for now.
The build quality of HD7 was abosolute rubbish. Speaker quality rubbish. Lag in panorama apps on HD7 was bigger. Battery life is shorter than omnia. Button feedback was horrible compared to omnia
I mean i would look at Samsung as having a bad reputation for Android hansets. But they seem to have hit the spot with the Omnia 7
Biggest Cons of Omnia is the slippery coating and then 8GB is too little space.

Agreed, the phone is way to slippery. I bought some skins from GelaSkins which solved the issue (looks great also) but even though they are thin it's caused an issue with my Brodit active car-holder :/
I've been interested in WP7 since it was first unveiled but I held off to see how things panned out. However, my current phone is in an awful state and really needs replacing so I'm thinking maybe it is time to jump ship and check out WP7. I'm really interested in the Omnia 7 and I can get one at a really decent price compared to other WP7 phones. Anyway, I was just wondering how people are getting on with the phone and the OS in general? Any thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated!
Hi there.
Well im still very happy with my Omnia 7, had it for 4 month now. The screen is insaine and with the 16gb version i have at least ok memory. I dare to say that this is the best phone i had. Existence should be pretty long also since the up coming patch Mango, vill accelerate the phone to max speed/potential. So for me buying it rather early, i expect to get a lot of milage on it and probebly a feeling of new phone again.
My friend have a LG Optimus 7 and with NoDo patch onboard, my Omnia smokes his phone in performance.
Now, is ALL good in happy land? Naa, not fully, there are 2 downers on it. Both are related to same problems, my Galaxy SII friend have it also so ita Samsung related accprding to me.
The problem is operator dependble. Here in Sweden Omnia 7 works great on all operators exept our biggest one. Again, my own words, the big one here have exclusives on the Edge network. And it seems Samsung phones have problems with that. So second and last issue is of internet that also gets affected to and gives slow internet loads and buffers.
In short...
Phone is great, the best of em...
Choose operator, or if you say carrier , carfully
Result = Stabile, fast wonderfull phone thats gone make you fall out the chair everytime you start a HD movie in 720p... cant be told. Experience it.
Only WP7 Phones that will be better then a Omnia 7, is probably Nokia. But there no Nokia phones untill Christmas Holidays, so if you cant wait. I higly recommend Omnia 7 above any phone on market.
Now, os wise? All i miss is copy/paste in to phone dialer, after mango there should be no missing for me. But darnit, im typing from my Omnia now and since i cant put it down, ever, my thumbs hurt. So somebody else will have to fill you in on OS experience. But think about choise of carrier and you wont be let down hardware wise. Its super smooth.
Best regards
Mr Nakazul
On my third omnia 7 currently! First two developed faults >.< When it works its a cracking phone!!! The screen is superb. But currently the whole nodo update malarkey is causing so much hasstle! Still on 7008. But this should all pass soon and I still highly recomend
Had mine since release in November and I can't complain about it really.
The only downside for me is the debacle with the updates. I've still not received the 7392 security update and MS have given no date to when Orange customers can expect it which is a bit of a farce.
The handset itself though is great. Gorgeous screen, solid construction, great camera. WP7 is fantastic as well, so responsive and intuitive.
The only other handset i'd look at currently would be the LG Optimus 7.

Agree with all of that , considering debranding to get Mango without a big delay
Im really happy with my Omnia 7 too.
I moved from HTC Touch HD with custom ROM to WP7, and so far do not regret it.
My phone also had a hardware fault, the screen went black after only 1 day.
Since Samsung repaired it (and luckily I got the lates ROM), it is working very reliable. When I got the phone back 2 weeks ago, I connected to Zune, and voila no problems updating to 7392 (I have a Telekom.de branded phone with 16GB).
I found replacements for almost all apps on the Touch HD, only a decent offline navigation app is missing. Navigon Select was preinstalled, but I am on T-Mobile AUSTRIA, so it won't work. Thats somehow stupid, but T-Mobile Austria isnt selling the Omnia 7, so this might be the reason.
almost every first generation wp7 has now a custom 7.8 rom

I kinda assumed we'd never have 7.8 what with lg's abandoning of wpthis seems to be a device with no followers for some reason, been rock solid for me, ware as most of my friends htc's get sent back for repairs for either screen or speaker, yet people love them
I'm sure we won't see any custom ROMs b/c we've never had them, and as the user base shrinks, so does the developer base this phone. However, as Telis12 has said the phone is rock solid, and I'm pretty confident we will see the official 7.8 since MS releases that directly, and since those updates can always be forced.

Lg optimus 7 sucks, because it seems that every optimus 7 has the internal memory error. the gorilla glass isn't that gorilla, and mine is full of scratches like a normal lightweight screen. it has the poorest speaker, one of the poores cameras (no nightmode in video!!!!) and the poorest update.
its ****in heavy, and the screen quality seems to be worst than HTC. no standard formfactor and so on.
I think the only pro is the 16GB space. Screw LG screw Microsoft

strange, the lg I recieved has been the best phone i've ever had, had it just over a year know not a mark on the screen, infact the whole phone is almost scratchless, i've also spent 9 months with this phone working outside, do not use screen protectors/phone covers and have dropped it on concrete quite a bit and still works perfect, think you just got a dud
Windows Phone 7.8
On a site Asiato, unofficial tallies say that windows phone 7.8 will come in a few days, we hope for our LG
all I know is i'm not convinced LG will update the phones, LG poland have stated they won't be releasing an update, along with samsung
http://www.esphoneblog.com/2012/11/...-7-will-not-get-updated-to-windows-phone-7-8/
so far to me it just seems nokia is focused on supporting older handsets.
I just become the owner of a 920 the other day so and a little less annoyed than I was, however i'm giving the LG to a family member and hoped t would get updated, from what i've seen on the net it seems nokia will be relesing 7.8 within the next month, its a shame as I really like the LG device, I'll never buy from LG again tho
Microsoft will still push the update like they did for Tango, doesn't matter whether LG bother or not MS will do it.
LG Germany told me that they have no Updateplans at the moment until MS released the WP7.8 Update.
After that they will decide if they Support the update or not.
Well the site showed an update on the update (lol) yesterday. It looks promising. They are going to try and release 7.8 for as many devices as possible. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

But some people will always complain, sometimes for good reasons, and sometimes for other reasons.

Is your lady any mobile expert or she just happy? Does she ever used Windows Mobile phone? Does she used android phones (what types)? Does she used iPhones?
It's just question - I only want to have clear view of her opinion.

LG Germany told me that they have no Updateplans at the moment until MS released the WP7.8 Update.
After that they will decide if they Support the update or not.

Don't worry about the update Even LG doesn't know the date of realease, it'll be available for our phone, it an update from MS and than must send it to all phones. If they don't, I guess that we could update with the cab
I hope we do see the update to my old phone, it is a shame that LG didn't continue the WP support like they did at first, we were promised regular new apps in the LG store in the beginning, and I wish they had made an app to remote control my LG TV (there's one on android). But Smartshare DLNA works well to it.
Still, mine has been a good solid phone, no issue of screen scratches or memory errors here!
But mine will gather dust now for a while as my Lumia 920 is keeping me busy, and it looks like Nokia isn't going anywhere soon
Do not trust in LG customer support word
In the past, when I asked LG customer support for WP 7.5 they said "We don't have plans"... A week later, I received the update...
I'm updating it to 7.8 right now Just use internet disconnection trick Version is: 7.10.8858.136
