Samsung Omnia HD - i8910

Hi Liberty

With whom did you deal with @ the midrand Depot?

I spoke to a Jimmy and he said that they do not have that handset as yet.

Please let me know who handled your upgrade.

thanks

CAPE TOWN still in the dark....eish:mad: spoke to Paddocks & tableview even TOLD them to contact Midrand......"yes sir we will phone them and find out" Yeah right I'm still waiting for a reply from both branches:mad:

I will probably have the phone quicker from JHB than locally???:rolleyes:
 
Yup...

No it doesn't. Its got the hardware for it - capacitive screen like the iPhone - but current software doesn't support it. All Samsung needs to do is enable it on a future firmware update but then again they haven't stated that its in their plans to do so

I was looking forward to this phone but most reviews were not very complimentary about the interface and software though the hardware is great. Now in 2 minds. May just have to wait to find one to play with first

Yup you're right, it did some research on it last night and also found this out... let's hope they do bring it out, although from what I've read multitouch belongs to apple, so I'm not too sure if Samsung can legally do it.
I haven't had any issues with the phone not having multi-touch so I wouldn't let it affect your decision on whether or not to get this phone...
 
I will contact them...

Hi Mkad,

I'll contact the person I dealt with in Midrand just to make sure they are the actually the right person to contact, and that I wasn't just particularly lucky.

Will let you know later this morning.
 
The service still sucks...

Hi Spiff,
The service from MTN in general still sucks, and I doubt any of the other branches will be able to help you.

I dealt with the service centre in Century City (outside Canal Walk) and the person there that was supposed to contact me when the phone arrived didn't do so, I ended up getting in touch with the courier company who was bringing the phone up and they were able to keep me posted.

It will definitely be best to order from JHB.

Mkad has asked who I dealt with and you'll see I told him I will contact the person I dealt with and find out if they are the best person to deal with, and will post to let you all know later this morning, once I've spoken to them.
 
I have contact details...

I have contact details of someone at MTN that will be able to help those of you that want to have a handset delivered to your closest store.
You just need to call them and they will arrange it.

If you want the details you can send me a private message and I will respond on it, I don't think it's ethical posting their cell number on the blog for the whole world to see. :)
 
Screen is great in sunlight...

Hi Spiff,

Just wanted to let you know I've checked out the screen in direct sunlight and although it is less clear (obvious) it's still great and definitely much better than your average phone. :)

Hi Spiff,

The touch screen is great, very responsive. It seems to be a bit less responsive when touching near the edges of the screen but it could be my imagination.

Hey Momo,

The HD recording is great but I haven't checked what format it is yet, as soon as I do I'll let you know :)

that's good news....I have some more good news I contacted Midrand and they r in the process of sending me a phone!! :D It should be here by Monday! :cool:

10/10 service from the people there, I got an email confirmation and was Cc every step of the way. Then I got a call from them to confirm the nearest branch to me and a confirmation email followed immediately :cool:

compared to the 2 MTN Cape Town branches...WHO STILL HAVE NOT COME BACK TO ME WITH AN ANSWER OR RETURNED MY CALLS!!:mad:

YOU GUYS - YOUR SERVICE SUCKS! :mad:
 
Glad to hear it...

Hi Spiff,

I'm glad to hear you've been sorted out! The email confirmation and CC etc, was the same process they followed with me.

Hope you enjoy it.... :D
 
I too have to applaud the service of the guys in Midrand.
They were great.

wait...lets not get too carried away now? I emailed them this morning to find out what's happening and still have not recieved a reply:confused:

I hope canal walk will phone me when it arrives!

Canal Walk might phone you when it arrives.... or might not - they didn't phone me, I contacted the courier to find out when it would be arriving, it arrived ± 09:00 and by 17:30 they hadn't let me know it was there so I just went in to collect it. The service when I was in the store was great but not so great with them returning calls etc.

Rather just phone the Midrand store, don't waste time waiting for them to reply to your email...
