Just a quick question to others who have the Omnia now from Orange.
Is it just me or have Orange removed the Samsung Daily Briefing hub on other handsets?
Also is it possible to re-download this?
Thanks.
Has it been released? I just looked on their website and it says that its coming soon.
Yeh it is. If you ring up you can get it.
Me and my sister both got one delivered today. On both our handsets the Samsung apps have been removed.. quite annoying really. Would really like to get them back.
Not on my one either, so definitely looks like they've removed it,seems they've replaced it with Orange Daily. Not exactly a fair swap I say!!
Tell me about it. Even on marketplace through Zune the Samsung store doesn't have it. All you can download is the photo share app and some app from the 3 network.
Guys it's available!..
Marketplace -> Samsung Zone -> 'Now'
EDIT: It was there and I downloaded it... but now it's gone! Along with the network settings app...
It's still on my device though quite fast too
It's called 'Now' and it's just that the tile image has a picture that says Daily Briefing

Gutted, not there
Hopefuly it will re-appear at some point. I would like having all that info in one hub. The Orange "replacement" is... lacking
Will be interesting to see If It comes installed on the unbranded sets. Just waiting now for the stock to come in and be sent out.
And I wish there was a specific Omnia forum on here so we don't have to fill up the general forum.

Agreed, whilst similar the Omnia and Focus are different.
So the Omnia is definitely branded and locked to orange I guess (?)
Well, yeah on Orange, who let's face it are notorious for 'branding'. This is however less of an issue with W7 to be honest (apart from the obvious removal of 'Now').
Be interesting to see if the T-Mobile version has the 'Daily Briefing Hub' left intact.
It certainly is Branded by a glowing orange stamp lol
But all orange software can just be uninstalled like any other app, although 'Your Orange' is really useful! It shows you of how many remaining minutes and texts and bundle you have!
Is there any way to buy one...but traveling to uk?

My guess is you can't, that's one of the very few way OEMs can differentiate WP7.
Well, the 'Now' App appeared on my Marketplace under the Samsung Zone today, so grabbed it while waiting on the bus.

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but the Dash phone seems to be pretty
popular on the TV series "Leverage" on the TNT network.
The girl of the gang has a Dash and a feature close-up of it is at the 18 minute mark of last weeks episode titled "The Lost Heir Job".
The model she has is not branded (not t-mobile), and has the "HTC" logo on the top left corner on the front and the logo again appears where the silkscreen for "T-Mobile" normally would be in the front center between the display and keyboard.
Just a FYI.
datz phat.
Cool was it pimped?
ha that just made my day HTC for the win
Here's a capture of the close-up shot they did...

even after all these years, people still recognize it as one of the best phones ever made. Much respect to htc!
Well its not reeeeally a Dash since its not T-mobile, its an excalibur. But good find, I wonder what ROM its running.

Defo you only need to look @ the smartphones catagory to know the Excalibur is cult and will be for along time
Either they are just running a video in Windows Media on fullscreen (very probable)...
or there may be the insane chance they are using WebCam++ or something similar (I seriously doubt it). However that would be cool if the video was a direct feed of them videotaping another scene! Haha, movie magic
On topic but off is it anygood? as don't get in UK but sounds good from reading TNT weby...
If you look at the old Entourage episodes: Seasons 1-4 , Turtle uses the Dash
Its on HBO
Here's the 30-second video of the shot...

"Really!"
Depends if its sold out because of lack of stock, like what happened with the Euro launch. Not really worth mentioning unless the number of units sold is known.

actually it still shows demand is higher than expectation, regardless of the figures this is still a good sign. MS is putting in this much work on something they expected to have low initial sales shows they are looking at a longer picture. I still firmly believe that this first batch of devices is just a soft launch and we will soon see the real push once MS has patched the holes that are being used to attack them. I think MS are doing a great job with the software and if they can get the right push then the sales will show reward for there effort. I don't think it will be to long before we see stands in shopping centres demoing phones and pushing the brand but MS will want everything in place first.
I am one of Thai who rushed to buy HD7 on the first day it launched.
It seems like a good news that HD7 has been sold out. Anyway, what I know is that only 500 units are coming into Thailand, just to test the market.
Many people delay their decisions to buy WP7 as there is no Thai (also east Asian language) support. WP7 now cannot display Thai language. Thai can be typed via the third party application that allows posting only to SMS, e-mail, facebook status, and foursquare shout.
Also, we cannot buy any applications from marketplace as it has not yet supported Thailand.
It sounds strange why MS has chosen to launch its product in Thailand without Thai language support. I'm quite sure that East Asian language support is still not yet to come in this coming minor update in February.

I'm from Cologne (Köln).
Maybe the event will be at the (2008 opnened) Microsoft building at the Rhein in Cologne.
Yes, it's a giant M(icrosoft) with its own Lufthansa Check in and Marina.
If its in a smaller location it can be at 4010 (a new Concept Stor by Deutsche Telekom).

sorry but Nokia do not show any devices to this event
http://thisismynext.com/2011/08/02/nokia-microsoft-windows-phone-gamescom/
I really hope we see some WP7 devices from Nokia, soon. I always liked their phones in the pre-Smartphone area and hope that their Windows phones will be as good as their old stuff used to be.
More to the point, Nokia need to get there devices now, certainly before the next iphone, as soon as that comes out it will be game over as far as building any momentum is concerned. If it comes out before hand and its the n9 design as leaked (great design by the way) and its pushed heavily with advertising across the board then they might stand a chance.
Its all well and good being hush hush on future devices, but on a launch like this with a new phone on a new os (for them at least), they need lots of stock, lots of advertising, and they need confirmed dates that the public can await and look forward to. So far Nokia have been far to slow yet again to react, which is the reason there in this mess to begin with.
my 2cents anyway.
Unless I am WOWed, I'll stick with old HTC...good dependable phones for the most part....
I hope the first Noika models to the US are fully maxed out with front camera and all the bells you can wish for. Not the low end, low price point models they are talking about.
Mayby they show a N-GAGE like Windows Phone 7.5 for Gamers!?
IMO a phone with Joypad-like Buttons and Xbox LIVE (more great games will come after Mango release with all the new API) would be THE phone for Gamers.
Day one for me!
I will be there with my hawkeyes. Strength of the hawk

Nice, intentional.
In MIX10 we all noticed that Joe Belfiore can directly output the display of his Samsung WP7 Developer prototype phone onto the big screen.
You may search for the video demo "Joe Belfiore Demos Windows Phone 7" in Google.
I searched on internet and received not many info on this. So I directly asked him on twitter @joebelfiore and he replied me in message.

This img is from my thread I posted just now on Chinese forum...I am a Chinese...
If anyone like me want to give presentations just as Joe did with his WP7 phone, I think the hope is not shinny~May rather buy a Nokia N8 or even Nokia 5800.
Some android devices like HTC Incredible and Samsung Galaxy S support tv out,too.
Just a bit disappointed~I used to hope to introduce WP7 devices to the company I serve as work phones. But it doesn't support VPN, and has no tv out, not to mention the NFC. You can't even copy the office file directly to your Phone without unlocking it. Maybe to choose android the other day, although it's Siemens here...
P.S If this post is supposed to cause any trouble because I mentioned the direct message from Mr. Joe Belfiore or the name of Siemens, just let me know and I will delete this right away. No means to make trouble.
----Edit----
Just like PG2G said on the 4th floor, firstly I am happy to see Joe answered my question directly without hiding something because people in his position usually don't do that. I am still a fan of Windows Phone 7 cuz I really don't want to show a game machine desktop (android and iOS) on the projector of a serious meeting room.
EDIT: nevermind
Lol... I'm sure another social network will make the cut, though.

While you didn't get the answer you'd ask for, it is pretty cool that someone in his position is actually listening to and answering people's questions.

Yeah, that's also what I think. People in his position hardly give feedback to normal people like you and me. So it's really nice of him to do so.
And that's why I still haven't give up the WP7 system, since I think letting all people in the meeting room to see my android desktop which looks like a game machine is not really a cool stuff~~~
Heya,
today we were grabbing a beer with Microsoft:

your phone is the last left
Wow, that sure is a lot of phones. 21 phones for 21 people, right? Otherwise, you're insane.
Nope, my phone is the flipped one on the right side, blue tiles.
I ment who finds me in the other pictures, the REAL me, not my phone
Yes, it was 21 phones per >21 users of course.
nice meeting
majority of omnia 7?
lol, my proud!
a question... is the 4th from right to left at the bottom line with orange tiles the new omnia m? i cannot detect it...
No Omnia M on this picture, only in the "more pics" link there is on the 6th photo being held by our WP TL . We weren't allowed to make photos

itsan n9 running ICS via nitdroid, he made a sexy device garbage.
That's insane!
Quite expected, because most Microsoft employees do receive their work phones from the company for free.
cant see any HD2's there?
also, no Mozart love!
EDIT: Interesting to see that the bright theme is rarely used.
am i the only one who thinks the way the nokias reflect the light makes their digitisers look like they are made of cheap plastic (don't know from experience, touched a wp7 nokia)
