[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spookidoodles:
I love my Omnia 7 - having upgraded from an iPhone 3GS running the iOS5 Beta, I am much more impressed with the Omnia 7 in terms of OS and the hardware.

Me and a friend both took the WP7 plunge at the same time - I bagged me a Samsung Omnia 7 on eBay for £118, effectively brand new (the guy spelt it Sansung..so if you typed in "Samsung Omnia 7" it didn't appear, but did under Omnia 7) and he picked up a HTC HD7 for £199.99. Upon getting the phones, he wished he would have gone with the Omnia 7. If you hold it side by side with any other phone, the screen quality of the other phone looks like utter crap. My friend has an iPhone 3GS still, and I seriously could not believe that my one ever looked that bad quality wise.

Screen aside - as I am sure everyone by now must have seen an SAMOLED screen at some point and thought OMFG - the phone itself is beautiful. I forget how thin the phone actually is as I keep it in a black leather flip wallet, in which its about as big as my iPhone was in a jelly case. I also have absolutely no trouble using it with one hand, but I do have quite big hands and play bass...so I could be biased there.

In terms of signal, my Omnia 7 is perfect -on the o2 network in the UK, my iPhone 3GS recieved 0-1 bars at the best of time in my room. I live in a basement, so it was sort of understandable - everyone knows the iPhone has (had? Didn't care enough to play with anyone's iPhone 4) extremely bad signal at the best of times. My girlfriend is techbackwards when it comes to phones, and is rocking a £10 Nokia which is effectively a 3310 with a smaller body and colour screen. That phone gets 2-3 bars down here. However my Omnia 7 receives 3-4 bars down here most of the time, which amazed me. Now I don't receive text's hours later! So in a basement, the signal works really well compared to other phones. I'm not gonna lie, I sit in most of the time playing Xbox so I can't really judge the signal outside of the house, bar during my transport to work - at which the Omnia 7 has been fine using 3G internet while travelling speeds of up to 65MPH.

The body of the phone feels really nice, its some sort of metal..I'm sure thats been mentioned so I will leave that.

As long as you are okay with 8/16gb the phone is fine - I use a Zune Pass, so I don't need huge storage for my music.

At first the position of the lock button confused the crap out of me - it's on the side, if you didn't know. Using an iPhone for a year will make you instinctively reach for the top of your device to lock it - but after a few days I found myself unlocking my phone a lot easier with one hand - and now any future phone I plan on buying I will be locking for a side lock button.

Battery life is as good as my iPhone 3GS. I quite regularly drained the battery completely down playing 3d games for 3-4 hours at a time, and I do it now with my Omnia 7 too, so again its hard for me to judge. I only ever have to full charge it once a day at max though.

As far as I am concerned, its the perfect phone - it looks and feels the part. Nokia are not having my money unless they put an SAMOLED screen in their devices - even then due to my experiences with the Omnia 7 so far, I'd much sooner choose the (hopefully) upcoming WP7 version of the Samsung Galaxy SII..it would be this but..better?

Now that is a first post.
