    Report on the i8910 v3 Yes the report is up, bet­ter than ever before! It took hours so feel free to dive in and enjoy!!! 7421 words, 38 images and count­less hours of work! Coin­cid­ing with 2000 sig­na­tures signed! Here’s a screen cap of a few pages:

    A screen cap of my report in the works

    A few cor­rec­tions have been made, some peo­ple picked up a few typos and stuff. This is the last report. The jour­ney ends here.. I’ve worked really hard to deliver on this report but now I have to move on to other things. Three weeks in the mak­ing and count­less hours of work. I really hope this pays off, I put my heart and soul into it. At the end of the day, the sit­u­a­tion is out of my hands, its up to Sam­sung. I will con­tinue to update on the progress the report has made but unless some­thing really big hap­pens, this report is final. Thanks to every­one for the sup­port, it has been a great jour­ney and learn­ing expe­ri­ence for me.

    So here’s the press cov­er­age so far for the peti­tion and report:

    1. Engad­get Mobile: Wronged i8910 buyer pre­pares doctral-quality the­sis on issues
    2. Sam­sung Omnia HD Blog: Sam­sung i8910 owner preps 25-page qual­ity con­trol report
    3. GSM Arena: Report on the i8910 Omnia HD points out its flaws
    4. All About Sym­bian: Sam­sung i8910 HD: Mis­cel­la­neous Musings
    5. 8910.cz: 20 years after a gen­eral strike against Samsung
    6. Omnia HD Users: Peti­tion for Sam­sung to improve i8910 Omnia HD Firmware

    Yup, the peti­tion and reports are all over the place too, like Twit­ter, Digg, Face­book etc and the sto­ries from the above have been recy­cled by sev­eral blogs. So for now, that’s what I’ve done with the first 3 weeks of my sum­mer amongst other things.. Gotta keep it moving!

    • I hope that the peti­tion to improve OS or migrate to other OS for sam­sung i8910 HD will be granted. I’m one of the users of i8910 HD. I’m lov­ing it actu­ally except for minor issues but it’s ok. I’ll be more grate­ful if Sam­sung con­tin­ues to pro­vide soft­ware updates. The pos­si­bil­ity of installing other smart­phone OS like Android in the future will even be bet­ter. Actu­ally, my main rea­son for choos­ing i8910 HD over other smart­phones like iphone is the hard­ware specs, its really top notch. OS is just sec­ondary con­sid­er­a­tion for me but it will be great if Sam­sung will go for Android for future Omnia HD.

    • Thanks for all your effort, I have writ­ten a let­ter to sam­sung HQ’s in Aus­tralia list­ing my own issues with their behav­ior, when I have a response ( maybe that should be IF I get a response ) I will pro­vide some info here, I have told them depend­ing on their response ( or not ) I’m going to make a com­plaint to con­sumer affairs in this coun­try, and I might add ref­er­ences to your com­pre­hen­sive report and incred­i­ble effort that has added to the strength of a com­plaint of DECEPTIVE MARKETING FOR for exam­ple from your report:.….

      What­ever became of all the demos shown back in Feb­ru­ary at the Mobile World Con­gress?
      These are the kind of demos that led us to believe the phone was going to be great but almost a year on, there’s nothing.

      5.0 No Appli­ca­tions Store sup­port
      The ini­tial press releases for the Sam­sung Apps Store (http://samsungapps.com/) claimed that the store was going to be for the i8910 [3] [8]. The video adver­tise­ment for the store even fea­tures a user shop­ping for apps in the store on the i8910.

      7.17 WMV/WMA codec sup­port
      Users have noted sup­port for WMV and WMA was listed but is cur­rently not present in our devices.

      8.1 Video edit­ing
      Accord­ing to the spec­i­fi­ca­tions sheet on the Sam­sung web­site [12] video edit­ing is supported.

      Thanks again..I check your site daily

    • @sumstung Thanks a lot :-) I cer­tainly hope they respond to your email. They usu­ally send some auto­mated response and that’s it.
