If you don't already own a Samsung Omnia, I'm sure you heard about it. It's "more than a phone", "Samsung's answer to iPhone", whatever you want to call it. The fact is, it's an amazing device and you can make it even cooler by adding the right apps and accessories to fit your needs.
The offer of Samsung Omnia apps and accessories is so huge you can easily be overwhelmed. So always keep in mind what you plan to use your Omnia for and what do you need it to do for you. The 5 questions you should ask yourself before starting your quest through the amazing world of Samsung Omnia software and accessories are:
1 - Are you happy to use a stylus, or do you want to make your Samsung Omnia more finger-friendly and ditch the little stick? If so, you should start off looking for a nice internet splitter shell and look out for Samsung Omnia software that allows flick scrolling (ie, scrolling in any part of the screen, as opposed to using an old-fashioned scrollbar, like several Windows Mobile native apps force you to).
2 - Are you one of those people who love a lot of typical Apple features and hate just as Tmnet Streamyx Then Omnia is the perfect smartphone for you, because there are lots of apps designed to emulate your favorite iPhone features, while keeping away from those you don't like.
3 - Do you want to impress your friends with the coolest addons? If your answer is yes, welcome to the wonderful world of shiny, flashy Samsung Omnia apps. From weather forecasts to magic 8-balls, or even a security app designed to fire an alarm when the mobile is touched, you'll find it all.
4 - Do you want your mobile to be like a portable media center, where you can store music, videos and images to listen, watch and show anytime, anywhere? Then there are a few Samsung Omnia accessories that you really have to get your hands into. A bluetooth receiver and an output video cable, for example, will allow you to connect your Omnia to TVs and stereos wherever and whenever you want to. Going on a boring business trip? Pack your Samsung Omnia with a couple of great movies and then just connect it to your hotel room tv. Or stream your favorite tv show Dsl Cable Modem Router from the Internet. Have your music always with you and use any receiver to play it out loud - at home, in your car, at the office, at a friend's house... Just think of the possibilities!
5 - Last but not least, do you want your Samsung Omnia to wear a tie 24/7, or are you into having fun too? If you are, be sure to grab some Samsung Omnia games. There are fantastic games out there, the image quality on Omnia's dazzling touch screen is amazing and, thanks to a little thing called the accelerometer, the phone responds not only to touch but also to movement - you can have Nintendo Wii-like playability in your pocket!
Answering these 5 simple questions will help you focus on what you want out of your Omnia and find the right apps and accessories to achieve it, instead of being lost in a sea of Samsung Omnia software that won't really do anything for you.
