If you aren't happy, its important that you make yourself happy and move on. I did my homework, and knew the shortcomings of this device before I bought it. I did the same homework on the Storm. It has been readily available information that the Omnia suffers the "Samsung" ringer bug. This is not something that all of a sudden poped up as new information. I knew about it before I bought it, back in early December. My mother has an i760, and is a realtor, and despite harsh times, esp. in that sector, her phone is ringing constantly. It too, has the ring bug. She doesn't seem to mind, nor miss too many calls. My solution was to find a louder ringtone, and honestly, by the time I get it out of the holster, its blasting at full volume, so does the bug affect me? Can't say it makes much a difference, other than it annoying me.
This is my first smartphone. Last PPC device I used wasnt even a phone...it was an IPAQ, using....I dunno, some win CE variant that was a fossil compared to Windows Mobile. You know what? Back then, I had issues with battery life and stability
Ironic, I guess.
At any rate, I can take the Omnia, hard reset it, put my contacts on it, and it is perfectly useful, and works completely for me as a phone, and PDA. Mind you, it would require the stylus, but thats all preference. My desire to add and tweak it stemmed from the desire to make it:
1. Prettier.
2. Touch Friendlier.
None of my tweaks have been to fix bugs, or increase stability. I just made it my own. Once again, I knew these shortcomings were present before I bought the device. I also knew, however, from reading, that I could make the device my own and customize many aspects of it. I also knew during my 30 days, when I could have returned it, that it was pertinant for me to determine if this was the device for me. In the end, it boiled down to the best performing device for the price for me. I wasn't about to spend the exorbitant price on the TP. Although, had they been ,same priced, I would have chosen it instead.
Nobody is asking you to be happy. I, and others have busted our butts to try and help you, but if at the end of the day, its not doing the job, do yourself a favor and ditch the device. You aren't going to hurt anyone's feelings here. at the end of the day, its your happiness and satisfaction that makes the difference to you.
