Thanks to the 2008 Holiday Season, The Samsung Omnia is pretty much everywhere and in case you missed it for xmas and the new year eve. there was a ROM leak for it that shows that there are more widgets to come and the hint of a possible Yahoo Widget partnership for the Omnia because it looks you will be able to download widget directly from Yahoo in the short term future.

Many of the leaked widgets may come from the TouchWiz improvements in this area announced for the AnyCall Haptic 2 for the Korean market that comes with a default selection of 50 widgets.

it sure is still comforting for anyone with a Omnia that Samsung is showing commitment to their Phones by adding more and more widget as they also release fixes.

The New Widgets and Main Features you get with this ROM are:

- New Favorite Settings
- Customize widget (Show/Hide widget)
- AccuWeather widget
- Yahoo Finance widget
- CNN widget
- Google Search widget
- New Opera build 15233
- Samsung Mobile Blog</SPAN< span>

You can download the leaked ROM. but everyone must be warned that since it is a leaked and a beta ROM. there are no guarantees it will work perfectly or that it will work in the first place. only download if you know what you are getting into.

First ROM update for Samsung Omnia i900 got new widgets and more interface widgetization

You may not have seen that i have been covering Samsung Omnia news since it was announced for launch and when it was finally launched. i have done so because it sports the TouchWIZ Widget Desktop that got a very Vista Sidebar like Widget dock and desktop simulation and it also got certain touches in the interface that give it a more widgetized look.

The news is that it got it first ROM update and the outlook is good as these are the improvements and findings in that update:

  • *Better Performance with battery
  • *Faster UI
  • *Faster UX
  • *Faster File Browsing
  • *Faster Automatic Screen Rotation
  • *Lots of fixed bugs
  • *UI animations adjustments
  • *More UI widgetization (look related)
  • *New Widgets

Looks like a very worthwhile update to me. this update is only meant for Singapore and a worldwide roll out is expected to be announced soon. Singapore seems to be the market where they everything Omnia First.they also got a white version of the phone. while you can get the ROM update now if you got a Omnia, from what i have seen. those localized in North America are having more random problems with the update. so beware or wait for a better release of the ROM.

Samsung i900 Omnia WM 6.1 TouchWIZ Widget Desktop Video Hands On

June 17th, 2008

I didn`t had a video when i introduced the Omnia i900 by Samsung with its TouchWIZ widget desktop. but now there is one that shows perfectly how it works and how it can be operated in one hand with your thumb if you want.

The only bad thing about this video is that the guy operating it, was either drunk, is the clumsiest man on earth or he is auto sabotaging himself into failing to know how to operate this device. not what you expect from a mobile device reviewer for sure. but it will be more than enough to clear out all that there is to see about the Vista Sidebar like widget desktop and the phone.
