Re: A challenge to all gurus: Help me keep my phone!

Chris-

That's a well thought out list of issues you've put together! I'm curious as to what you find, as I agree with you on a lot of the points. I'd love to find a better MP3 player as well, however I think I may be stuck with Windows Media Player. I'm using it to play Rhapsody subscription tracks, and I'm under the impression that other players won't be able to handle the subscription DRM...

Some of the trouble I'm finding as I try out some of these apps, such as the pcketcm app you suggest syrguy, is that they don't play well with the Omnia's screen rotation. More than once I've found that these programs work great in portrait mode, but as soon as you tilt your phone into landscape mode, the program crashes. I assume this just comes with the territory considering the Omnia is such a new device, and time will bring us more polished apps...

How's Google Maps working for you? I love that program, but right now I'm hitting the bug where it doesn't recognize the Samsung Keyboard for entering text/#'s. The workaround is to use the horrific Microsoft keyboard, which sucks. I'm hearing of plenty of other folks having this same problem on the Omnia, and have been watching the Google message boards for any sign of a fix...

Finally, unless I missed it, did you or anyone come up with a way to turn off the "Battery is now fully charged" Alarm? The one fix I read for that was to replace that alarm audio file with a file of room noise, but I don't know what exact audio file my phone is using for that alarm...
