I bought this phone when my upgrade for verizon was up. i did lots of research and was between the omnia and the blackberry storm. all of the reviews said that the omnia was the better pick, soo i bought it. The omnia is a phone that is meant for use with a stylus not thumbs. Windows mobile lagged quite a bit… so much to the point that i just had to cancel what i was doing to unfreeze it. the accelerometer( turning thing) can get quite annoying. I am a very big texter…. and this is not a texting phone i found myself dreading having to type on it. luckily i had a thirty day grace period and if i didnt like the phone i could return it, which i did and i bought the storm. And i love it. it is so much more user friendly, you can set almost everything to the way you like it.
in conclusion…. if you are looking for a touch phone like the iphone…. skip the omnia and go straight to the storm, with its facebook and flicker built in applications the omnia doesnt compare.

OK, I am used to hiking with Green Trail maps for Washington State. I was hoping that this product would be to their level, or heck even more current. But no way, I pulled up areas I go to frequently and the maps are not even close to he quality of the green trail maps. Which is very sad considering google earth does a better job than this software and it is free.
For all you techies who rated this product highly get grip, paper maps dominate this product. GPS software is not even close to the quality of a paper map. Also, if I wanted to do all of this electronic file manipualtion that other users speak of why even buy a GPS unit. The point is I wanted something superior to old out of date paper maps and instead of that got “new” electronic maps that are worthless.

So I just got done using the Swami for a quick 9 hole run, because I was anxious to see how it would perform.
Upon completion of the round I am happy to say that I am VERY pleased. Not only did the Swami do as advertised,
I was able to shoot one of my lowest scores of the season so far with it. The yardages it gives are very accurate
and the best part in my opinion is that it doesn’t take a huge amount of time to “settle” down when you get to your
ball to acquire a yardage, which helps with your pace of play. (Unlike the skycaddie which takes a fair amount of time to “settle” on a yardage.)
The $35 activation fee is definitely reasonable in my opinion as well, because it’s really only a one-time fee if you choose. You
can download 10 courses that you play on a regular basis and then that’s really all you need, unless you travel a lot.
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this GPS to both amateurs and scratch golfers alike. It’s probably the BEST GPS for the money on the market right now.

I had a Garmin GPS map60 before and was always losing signal in tree cover. Haven’t had that problem since I got the 60 CSx. Most of the features are the same exept for the compass and the altimeter. Color is nice also. Worth the extra money.

Works great with my Nuvi 205W. Log on to Garmin, type in the secret code and update the maps. Easy.

This is not a bad unit for the price. We used it to travel down to D.C. area and had only a one problem with it. The screen will freeze up on you and then you have to do a hard restart. I believe that it was more operator error then anything else.
I would highly recomend this unit to anyone who is new to Auto GPS. You can’t beat the price on this.

I was hoping for a product that clamped firmly into the air vent. What I got was a device that clamps onto one of the louvers with two pincher hooks at the top. The bottom is just a pedestal that rest somewhere on the center column. My console didn’t provide any good place where this could securely rest.
If you have a car with adjustable air vents (i.e. you have a car built after 1970 or so) this thing just dangles loosely and flops around like the tongue of the aforementioned canine.
Also, each of the front grips comes with a removable extension that grips around the face of your device. If you think you might want to use these, NEVER remove them because once you do they will just fall off on their own.
I wouldn’t trust this piece flimsy piece of @#$% to securely hold anything I spent more than a nickel on.

Samsung NYC Launching Event 2009
samsungzone posted a photo:
On the 13th of August, Samsung Digital Imaging announced the launch of Samsung’s next-generation compact cameras, the Samsung ST550(TL225)/ST500(TL220) and Samsung ST1000(CL65). The coverage, which has been picked up by a wide variety of press outlets and blogs has resulted in an extensive global coverage, including coverage on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or blogs.
The NYC launch event, which was held in a “cafe”-alike set, in order to smoothly connect to the ambient of the TV advertisement, provided reporters and representatives with a great place to share their thoughts on the new Samsung products.
During the presentation, which started with David Steel’s opening speech, product managers of both products were flooded with questions from reporters.
Overall, the reporter’s impressions were amazing, stating that both, the ST550(TL225)/ST500(TL220) and ST1000(CL65), were simply unique.

Works great. I would have given it five stars if it included the map guarantee.

I was pleased with the quality of this product. The product performs as advertised. Well made. Leather feels and looks smooth. Clip is sturdy. Have not had any problems with it. I did not give it five stars only because I wish I could move the antenna on my Mio 168 without having to take the unit out of the case. I also wish there was a way to close (lock) the case with a wi-fi card in the unit. The card sticks out of the unit a few milimiters, so if you lock the case it will put pressure on the card and may make it pop out.
