First thing you'd need to do is turn off the touchwhiz (not only does it sound like a golden shower, it just sux), the set up a simple today screen, and customize thru the built-in app.
Once you do this you set up the shortcut page and you have 12 apps right there with 2 click access (one click to the shortcut page, 1 click into your chosen app).
Use the app manager to close any open programs either one at a time or all at once- your choice- and you don't have a problem with system resources as you are using a phone, not a desktop.
Multitasking should be a simple thing and as long as you don't have 7 programs running, it works well.
Bumping WinMo for Symbian? Well OK if you want to use this as a semi-work device. Just don't multitask, use powerpoint, expect MS Office to work or mind app hunting for patches.
For the money, I still can't find fault with the i910. Sure, the camera is only 5mp not 8mp, and it ain't gonna capture in 720p, but for $550 less, I'm OK with that.
Bottom line: Omnia's rock, and the learning curve makes you a better user and the phone a better toy.

This looks pretty neat, although it's a bummer to hear of the mishmash when you get to a certain depth.

PS: Newer firmware fixes the poor audio quality during HD video recording, although it's still a problem when streaming live video with Qik.
If you can live with Symbian touch, the i8910 is definitely one of the best phones son the market today. The capacitive OLED screen is miles ahead of the N97 resistive TFT screen.

You have to replace all the seals every year and it's not doable by you or free. Image quality is not that great also. Cramming all these pixels in a tiny sensor is not that good aparently, no mtter the brand. The Canon D10 is quite good but it is very very ugly.
Overall the Pentax could be a very good camera (if they had kept the W60 sensor), but it's simply on OK camera. Not bad at all.

Apple's been adding the remote compatible headphone jack to all of their products lately– I think it even works with the newer macbooks.
It doesn't break "listening" compatibility and adds cool functionality if you happen to be using an Apple product.
I use my Apple remote headphones all the time with standard 3.5mm headphone jacks all the time, the remote is so small you hardly notice it and it's nice to have it built in when something is compatible.

And yeah, it does work with the newer unibody MacBooks.

It's a pity, but I guess I will get those premium Apple buds after all if that's the case.

You guys make it sound like WM will kill one of your pets. With the touchflo, most regular consumers will rarely even see the OS underneath all that skinning, and it works very well.
08/12/09
Trust me, I'm a tweaker and I love WinMo for the factors you mentioned, however to say that their 'skinning' is a substitute for the complete reworking of what a mobile OS can be is unfounded.
08/12/09
However, my point is that everyone hates on WM without checking out some of its unique features that even now platforms like andriod and iphone don't offer. Also dont think this is a dig at either of them, I own an iTouch, and i love some of the apps, but having to pay for anything worthwhile, when I can DL for free similar stuff on WM is kinda annoying.

And i don't see it as that big of a deal that they removed the front facing camera, because who would you talk to? noone else has video-conferencing capabilities (on their mobiles at least). is talking with ONLY audio really that terrible?

in the side-by-side with the tour I see no difference in screen brightness/dimness or text
