BEST PHONE EVER!

Posted: Aug 08, 2011, 4:11 PM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Had this phone for nearly 3 months now and it's amazing. Best phone I've ever had. Beats the iPhone hands down. :) I've even made 3 of my friends buy it too! They are in love with it! The SAMOLED screen is BEAUTIFUL! I almost cried when I opened the box, I couldn't wait to see it haha. I waited long enough for this phone and I definitely do not regret buying it.

I've been using it for like a month or so, I've been really in to it the whole time, and overall I can state: Windows Phone 7 devices are the best ones ou there on the market!
Marketplace is growing, with NoDo they already fixed some issues, but with Mango and future updates, they will develop these phones to the ultimate perfections. I'm really pleased with my Omnia 7, by no chance will I ever change to Droid or iOs!
As my review: read below.

I upgraded from Android device. Reason being, android was getting too monotonous. I researched differnt phone operating systems and UI and i chanced the Omnia 7. Excellent choice too. At first there were a few issues but those were soon resolved when i hooked it up to my computer through Zune.
The Phone works so well, very fluid...never once stalling (unlike stoopid android). The 1Ghz processor is more than enough to run anything you throw at it. Forget about that dual core crap...unless you want to charge the battery every hour.

The App selection and Game selection is improving everyday and to be honest i think Xbox Live games kick apples ass!!

The UI is the best ive seen on any phone. Not to mention the Super AMOLED display!! Awesome!!! True black colour. Watching movies, playing games, surfing the web all look beautiful on the display.

If you are going to invest in WP7...do so with the Omnia 7. With its Super AMOLED it beats all HTC WP7 phones.
