The sad part 'bout Samsung phone was that you're only option was to flash it with other firmware version. They do have great product but sucks on (firmware update) support, big time!
thats my experience with Samsung G810... contrary to reviews, basic issues with the phone, unusable camera... never fixed via firmware upgrades. Basically i am left with feature phone as you cant use smart phone or camera to its fullest due to bugs.
whats the SE record on firmware updates?
p.s. going over Omnia HD forums, people are crying over firmware updates... thats why i am so worried...

p.s. I checked them both last night... I was suprised their displays had same response times to touch? Omnia HD seemed a bit brighter, could be due to default settings... I liked that it has bigger battery, but at the same time, i wonder about camera - it is important for me that I can take proper images in darker enviroments (our house during the night - would like to be able to take pics of the kids properly, i have not been able to do that since K800i).

Just registered to help you with your decision:
GET THE HD, GET THE HD, GET THE HD!!!
Ok, sure, SATIO has a GREAT camera, but the rest of the phone is just unresponsive and horrible. I have both phones. I thought, ooo, 12mp camera, Sony Ericsson! Gotta be good! But i was so wrong.
Compared to the Omnia HD, the satio sucks! Reasons being?
Well first, it depends what you're looking for in the phone itself....
The omnia has an AMOLED screen, so it responds to touch from your fingers only so no pens or stylus are used (although there is one floating around, reviews state it's not good at all). As for the firmware, for all users of Omnia HD who haven't heard of this, they should get going right away. There's a nifty little site called:
http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com/
On this site there are the latest updates for the phone. But the best option, in my opinion would be, to follow the guides to get the custom firmwares created by a guy called HyperX. His firmware is based on the latest originals, BUT, with all the improvements and speed updates to his capacity. I have used his latest one, and it's extremely fast, responsive and as he's taken all the un-needed clutter, there's far more memory too. So thats a really god thing about the Omnia.
I've had the satio for a few months now and i've had problems with it from day one. In fact, my satio, along with others, have many many bugs still, and it's annoying to be straight. My satio is damaged when taking pictures. I'm going to take it back but it's because of the xenon flash. Whenever i take a few pictures with flash on, either one of two things happen...either the flassh just keeps flashing and crashes the phone, or the phone just crashes...not good!
By all means, when it does work, wow, the best camera on the market...and not all phones will be like mine.
Video wise, Omnia wins hand down. 720p recording! woo! Though it should be noted that the frame rate at which it records videos isn't actually 24fps, it's 22fps.
Both platforms are symbian so they both preetttty much suck but again response wise, samsung wins again!
Thats my view...so...hope that helps? =p

well that is the whole thing, i dont have perfect lighting in my house, i cant tell my kids to wait for that perfect moment... i guess it is telling that on Satio site, nobody likes the Satio though.
dat_geezer - i have checked that site extensivly, and people complaining there get me worried... not to mention person saying how with satio, he can finally take pics in darker situations...
It is kind of silly, but i guess if i wanted positive opinions about satio, i should have asked on samsung forums and vice versa.

@spw
in the HD has a bigger screen compare it with satio's screen and the brightness in the HD is better but you can edit it in the display option and the HD is very sensitive to touch its respond with a tic with your nail(i hate that in my opinion less sensitive is better)
and the HD has the AMOLOED (not sure about the name) screen
Satio has a better camera for night photos and point and shoot in general
btw samsung has annunced a new firmware in q1 2010 witch will have a kinetic scrolling and a new graphic engine and a faster browser interface (they say)

The 3D task switcher is quite neat too.
I like the Satio for the camera and the size/feel in the hand, but the I8910 HD definitely benefits from the OLED screen (although it isn't as viewable in bright sunlight). The thing is, the I8910/Omnia HD is big and isn't without its faults - except they're all down to S60v5 so you'd have them no matter what.

The difference in screen size isn't so much - you can watch a movie on both just fine (and the smaller screen means a higher-definition thanks to smaller pixels) but the I8910 HD is wider, and some people don't go for that.
The Satio feels more 'phone like' and probably has more appeal as a result.
