The Unwired have posted a brilliant video showing the final Rom Samsung will use for its unbranded and SIM-free i900 Omnia. Unlike the previous hands-on video The Unwired showed us, which was made with a SGH-i900 prototype running a Beta software, this videoview now shows you how the final software will look and work.
Phone Arena has a thorough review of the Samsung Omnia. Plenty of delicious hi res pictures of check out along the way and they seem to cover almost every phone feature. They do manage to dig up a couple of problematic areas and it might be a useful to see a couple of the possible short comings of this phone.

That’s right the jailbreak/pwning software for Windows users running the iPhone 2.0 software, has been released.

The guys at crackberry.com have got their hands on the latest Blackberry but this one is a first. The Blackberry Kickstart 8220 is a flip phone type form factor never seen before in the Blackberry range. Originally branded with a device model number of 9100, this has now changed. The BlackBerry "KickStart" is now the 8220 and will feature WiFi, while the BlackBerry "SeaWolf" is the 8210 and will feature GPS.
Its barely announced but Treocentral are giving one lucky person the opportunity of winning a GSM Treo 850w. Why am I telling you? I have my guess of when exactly the Treo 850w is being released in and my fingers will be crossed right up to September. The 800w is getting mixed reviews Stateside, however that is an improvement over recently reactions to their ageing product line.
Looking for small business web development near me, I spotted an interesting article at the Windows Mobile Blog which explains in quite a bit of detail the process involved in deploying new Windows Mobile OS’s along with updates etc and why it takes so long before we actually see them on devices. You know like when they announced Windows Mobile 6.1 way back in February and we are still waiting for updates in July 5-6 months later. You can read the full article after the break.
Over at MTV Muliplayer spoke to John Koller the senior marketing manager for PSP indicated greater things for the GPS implimentation:
Sony will launch a GPS add-on for the PSP early next year. Alongside it, there will be gaming applications.
I am visiting France for a family holiday but would really like to be able to stay online while I am away, I have been looking around for the best way to get 3G access but it seems it is going to be a very expensive thing to do. I have a 3 USB Modem and they have no roaming agreements so would charge £3.00 per MB for data which is very very expensive. Does anyone have any cheaper solutions or is it possible to get a pre-pay mobile broadband set up while I am in France, my information is that you can only get mobile broadband in France by signing a 12 month minimum contract which doesn’t help. If anyone has any solutions or suggestions please leave a comment. Thanks
