As more and more people are becoming aware of the report, a lot of requests have started coming in. I’m continuing work with the report to see where it will take us. The hope is that Samsung will catch wind of this and respond/react to all this. The i8910 is a great piece of hardware, it’s a great base for awesome stuff but that’s not what we’re seeing. I was looking at the Sony Ericsson Kukura coming out next year. It has nothing new when compared to the i8910. The only difference there is the software running the phone. Given that the i8910 has had a 6 month head start, you’d think surely it’s that far ahead. Unfortunately it’s not, the Kukura might very well steal the limelight from the i8910 without breaking a sweat despite the odds. That’s how bad the situation is with the i8910. Great hardware, horrible software ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Anyway, here are the latest stats for the petition: Signatures Per Month for All Time Month Signatures 2009.11 1653 Signatures Per Day for the First 2 Weeks Graph of signatures Note that the 30th had just started but the signatures are slowing. I’m hoping we can …

This is awesome! I just got coverage from Engadget!!! Engadget!!! This is cool, my document was seen and liked! This link is over here Engadget Article The article reads: By Chris Ziegler Wronged i8910 HD buyer prepares doctoral-quality thesis on issues What do you do when you're unhappy with a product you've bought? Return it? Complain on an online forum? Write to the company? Well, for one Mr. Panashe Ngwerume, the answer's a little more complicated than that. You see, this particular gentleman was so incensed by the Samsung i8910 HD's problems and lack of continued development that he felt compelled to write a 25-page -- yes, 25-page -- report detailing the issues and proposed solutions. Unfortunately for Ngwerume and other i8910 HD buyers, Samsung seems to have effectively abandoned Symbian in favor of Android, Windows Mobile, and the company's own bada, but the report suggests that Samsung throw the phone and its firmware to the hacker community for further development, possibly on Maemo or bada. Knowing what we know of giant, global firms like Samsung, the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this Nobel-worthy work were probably for naught, but it makes for a riveting read …

My report on the Samsung i8910 v2 is complete.. Bigger, better and stronger!!! Over here: Report on the Samsung i8910 v2 final enjoy! This took me hours, please take time to read it. I hope it has the impact I wish for - enough for Samsung to actually do something.. Abstract The report was prepared to highlight problems with the Samsung I8910 firmware and software and to suggest possible solutions and additions that can be made to make it better for the users. The report will cover factors that are only software/firmware related (which can therefore be addressed in an update by Samsung). It has been prepared in collaboration with members of several forums related to and/or dedicated to the Samsung i8910, backed by a petition signed by more than 1460 people (as of 27 November 2009) from all over the world at http://www.petitiononline.com/fixi8910/petition.html at the time of writing. Problems discussed include- lack of firmware updates for certain regions in which the phone was officially launched, inexplicable lag or delays in opening the media and applications folders, faulty web browser that crashes out of websites without warning, lack of auto focus function in video …

I got a lot of feedback from users in the forums asking me to add more stuff.. The response has been generally positive and I'm glad people appreciated all the time I spent doing this project.. The petition is starting to slow down now.. I mean look at these statistics: Signatures Per Month for All Time Month Signatures 2009.11 1318 Signatures Per Day for the Past 30 Days Day Signatures 11/18 286 11/19 255 11/20 294 11/21 128 11/22 136 11/23 77 11/24 118 11/25 28 The momentum is slowing so its best I wrap it up and get it over with.. This whole process is eating up my whole summer!!! So I gotta push to the end and see where it goes.. We'll see.. Keep ya'll posted! Anphase

My first post! Whoo! Right to it then.. Ok, so I started a petition to Samsung Mobile so they would fix/improve/maintain the Samsung i8910. My petition is over here: http://www.petitiononline.com/fixi8910/petition.html and as I write we are slowly approaching a 1000 signatures(964 to be exact). The statement reads: To: Samsung Mobile For Samsung to live up to its promise to maintain, improve and fix problems with the Samsung i8910/Omnia HD. We paid a lot for this device and we expect as much back. If not with Android, at least to fix the firmware/software problems so we get what we put down our hard-earned money for. Sincerely, The Undersigned Not too shabby but the petition statement was sort of rushed, I’ve been criticized quite a bit about it. Got some advice from Steven Litchfield of http://www.allaboutsymbian.com from the Phones Show, one of my favorite podcasts. Hope it gets enough momentum I’ve been putting a lot of effort into this. I’m currently working on a report that I will send to Samsung Mobile. It could take up all my summer break but its all for a good cause. I mean I love the phone, its got a lot of potential but I think for that potential to be realized some …
