Noob needing some direction...
Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum and new to the Omnia and in fact new to smartphones....
I actually don't have an Omnia yet but expect it to arrive tomorrow or the next day according to the ebay seller I won it thru. I plan on activating it on Page Plus.
I'm not nearly as computer savvy as most posters on this forum seem to be and I'm a little overwhelmed reading thru the posts about flashing roms, kitchens, unlocking this and that.... a lot of it is way over my head.
I'm assuming the omnia I get will come with the original rom and win mobile set up and from reading on the HOFO forums I suspect I'll want to install spb shell on the phone to make it more user friendly.
So my question here is what steps do I want to take when I first get this phone? Should I just use it first and see what works for me and what doesn't? Or should I start by flashing the rom, installing spb shell (or other options?), upgrading win mobile, etc. What are the suggestions and in which order should I manage them to set the phone up for ease of use and most complete functionality.
I will mostly use it as a phone. I like the idea of net access but the Page Plus unlimited plan only gives me 20mb/mo data usage so I'll be relying on the wifi for that mostly. I'm not one to play games or watch videos on a phone but I like and will use the decent camera.
I don't really know what apps are available for the Omnia but I figure it's been out long enough that there should be some decent ones. I'd be happy for suggestions or pointers to see what's available.
Thanks,
John
