When using a feature rich Pocket PC like the Samsung Omnia we sometimes forget that this device is just like any other Windows desktop PC; capable of doing a lot of things but once in a while some maintenance is needed so it can be at its best shape. Sometimes you need to defragment files, clean the registry, delete invalid shortcuts and duplicate files... - you know the drill, we've all been

For people who rely heavily on their mobile phone to handle appointments and task management, the ability to sync the content with Microsoft Outlook calendar on their laptop or desktop is a real time-saver. But nowadays many users and even small businesses are replacing Microsoft Outlook with an online solution like Google Calendar due to Microsoft Office's licensing costs. So wouldn't it be nice

Keeping track of appointments in a fast and easy way is paramount in a PDA/mobile phone like the Omnia, so earlier this year I reviewed ThumbCal - the calendar app I consider to be among the best of its kind; check the review here. The synchronization of appointments with Microsoft Outlook's calendar is essential to some people and although I don't use that feature I can understand why it's so

Keeping the promise I made earlier regarding the compatibility list for Samsung Omnia Software, since the app reviewed in the previous post isn't compatible with the whole Samsung Omnia family, here is a WalkingHotSpot alternative for the Samsung Omnia HD. This WiFi router app is called JoikuSpot and has all the great features I mentioned when talking about WalkingHotSpot. This Samsung Omnia HD

If, like me, you often use your Samsung Omnia to access the web, then today's post is for you, because this is definitely one of the things I use the most on my pocket pc. I usually use WiFi but sometimes if I really need to go online and there isn't an open wireless network available I'll use the 3G mobile network to access the Internet and it's great to have this possibility. WalkingHotSpot is

I've already reviewed the great SPB Backup 2 for Samsung Omnia in the past and I highly recommended it. It's risky to go on using your Omnia without some backup protection software, it just isn't a safe thing to do with any device in which you store valuable information. But SPB Backup 2 isn't compatible with the newer Windows Mobile models of the Samsung Omnia family so here's an equally

Returning visitors have probably already noticed that small changes have been made to all the posts. Due to the the fact that the Samsung Omnia family is growing and software compatibility can become an issue, all apps and games reviewed at the Samsung Omnia Software blog will have a compatibility list providing download availability information for the i900 Omnia, the i910 Omnia Verizon, the

One of the most successful game franchises ever has finally reached your Samsung Omnia. With the release of the third installment of The Sims, Electronic Arts has decided to reach a wider audience and provide the game for mobile phones as well as the standard desktop version. The Sims 3 is a social simulation Samsung Omnia game that will provide a playability similar to the one you would get on

On the Samsung Omnia software blog, I keep going back to the same subject: reviewing apps that change the look, feel and, above all, the usability of your mobile device. Usability is a real Achille's heel on Windows Mobile, especially on the Omnia. I've said it so many times before, the Windows Mobile's default interface is fugly, impossible to control properly without the stylus and, above all,

Is there anybody out there that hasn't tried playing Sudoku yet? If you're a puzzle lover, you can't let this Samsung Omnia game pass you by. Programmed by the very creative people behind Resco Bubbles - probably the best Samsung Omnia game out there - Resco Sudoku Touch brings the most addictive puzzle game of the decade to your mobile. Of course there are loads of Sudoku versions for mobile

One of the weakest spots on Windows Mobile is the phone interface: the dialer, the contacts manager, the call log... Trying to use them on the Samsung Omnia without the stylus is a complete nightmare. The developers at Samsung have tried a little harder than the ones at Microsoft but still the Omnia's default phone interface leaves a lot to be desired. I guess that's the main reason I'm going

How about using your Samsung Omnia to pass those boring moments on your way to work or school, having some fun and training your brain's memory, calculation and analytical skills? Sounds great, right? This great fun tool is called Resco Brain Games and is brought to you by the nice people who created Resco Bubbles and Resco Explorer, which have both been reviewed on this blog earlier - here and

One of the most overlooked aspects of dealing with computers and today's mobile phones is data backup. Usually people only realise how important backups are when it's too late and all the data is lost. Don't let it happen to you. You should backup your Samsung Omnia contents every now and then just for safety, but it's especially important to do it before you make any critical software changes

I'm sure you heard about the upcoming Samsung Omnia HD, and you're probably wondering how it compares to the Samsung Omnia i900 you can find in stores now. If that's the case, the guys over at Phoneegg did the hard work for you already. Check out their Samsung Omnia i900 vs Samsung Omnia i8910 HD comparison, complete with a 3D size comparison and all!

I believe the makers of the Samsung Omnia weren't really expecting that the average user would need to use a file manager. Otherwise they would have found a better way to manage files like photos, documents, music and downloads other than using Windows Mobile's File Explorer. I kind of accept that assumption; maybe the average user isn't tech savvy and prefers to connect the phone to the computer

Of all the Samsung Omnia apps people use everyday around the world, there is one type of software that I believe is the most widely used (besides, of course, calls and texts) - calendar, task, appointment manager apps. And for me it's really hard to believe that people actually use the default Samsung Omnia app because it truly is completely unusable without a stylus and above all, has a

Samsung has unveiled their prototypes of what will become the Samsung Omnia i8910 HD during the MWC in Barcelona. If this phone becomes all they are showing it will really sweep the competition away! Here's what stands out for me: No more Windows Mobile. The Samsung Omnia HD will run Symbian; HD video with 720p video recording and HDMI port for HD video output; Check out some Samsung Omnia i8910

Besides the issues I described when I wrote the review of SMS-Chat for Samsung Omnia, another thing that I thought was holding back the Omnia's usability was the Contacts List / Call Log software. Samsung have made some effort to make this tasks easier by introducing some apps that work much better than the native Windows Mobile one (you know what it is, the one with the keypad - can anyone even

I just found out that Verizon Wireless is offering the possibility of buying a Samsung Omnia for only $99! Conditions apply, but check the link for more information over at Pocket PC Central. It's a pretty good opportunity to get a hold of this great smartphone for a bargain price!

Of all the Samsung Omnia games I've downloaded and played, the one that I found most addictive and also most effective (regarding the clever usage of the technology) was Resco Bubbles. Resco Bubbles is a Samsung Omnia action puzzle game where you control a metal ball and the idea is to clear a grid of bubbles in order to advance to the next level. You are given a sequence of numbered bubbles,

The way that Windows Mobile 6.1 handles SMS in general - be it writing, sending, receiving, etc - is just too strange and unfriendly for me to take it. Others may be perfectly happy with it, I wasn't, and this was the first issue that got me online looking for Samsung Omnia apps to download and replace it. After a great deal of searching, I finally came across SMS-Chat. SMS-Chat is an SMS

Whether you have had your Samsung Omnia i900 for a day or for a month, the first thing I have to advise you to do is to download the latest version of the firmware from Samsung Omnia firmware update website, also known as Samsung Omnia Rom. In case you're not familiar with the term, the firmware is Omnia's operating system, the software that comes pre-installed when you buy a Samsung Omnia. The

If you're looking for Samsung Omnia Software downloads, you've definitely come to the right place! The Samsung Omnia is the latest smartphone by the Korean giant and it's an amazing device with some really excellent features - Wi-Fi, GPS, real internet surfing, audio and video playing, photo and video shooting... you name it, the Omnia has it.
