Thread: Review: Samsung i8910 HD (Omnia HD)

Hi! I just got this phone, and can't figure out why my world clock has a continuous sun next to two of my cities even at nighttime. They are on opposite sides of the world, and a third city never has a sun next to it. Any ideas?

At least, please mention in your article that in some countries the i8910 does indeed ship with Route 66. Italy for one, perhaps...

@rvirga: Point taken, but a) how is the new user going to know to dig around on E: for a SIS file? (even if it's pre-loaded) and b) Samsung don't even mention the GPS on their page anymore.... it does seem as though they're deprecating the function.

I must confess I have had no problem with calls, incoming or outgoing. Subjectively it is perhaps marginally worse than my E71 but both are perfectly acceptable. Where there has been variation is in the strength of the signal from the provider. My i8910 is on O2 and my E71 on Vodafone. The variance caused by these providers is considerably more than any between the phones themselves.
