Windows Mobile developers in UK better hurry and get in on this amazing deal.
For today (WED 28 OCT 2009) only Samsung is offering a FREE Samsung Omnia 2 (amazing device with 3.7 inch AMOLED WVGA screen and 800 Mhz processor) for any developer willing to port their app to their device and application store.
To claim the prize you need to be able to attend the UK Developer Day where the devices will be available to collect on the evening.
The developer day is:
Samsung Application Store UK Developer Day
Monday 02 November 2009, 6pm to 10pm
Bonetti Suite, Chelsea FC, Fulham Road, Chelsea. SW6 1HS
There will be a champagne reception, followed by a series of short informal presentations. The event is free and offered on the understanding that you wish to accept a free Omnia II device.

too bad about the "being in UK" part
what does porting your application to the appstore even mean? how is that different than just submitting the app.

September quarter mobile profits are expected to forge further ahead as the latest Galaxy model enjoys a sales boom before the next iPhone launch, widely expected in October, driving Samsung's profit to a record of nearly 8 trillion won ($7 billion). The mobile business brings in around 60 percent of Samsung's earnings.
Profits of the handset division more than doubled from a year earlier and the flat-screen business swung to a profit as LCD prices stabilized.
Shares in Samsung, which also makes TVs and other appliances, flat-screens, and chips, jumped as much as 4.7 percent to a five-week high after the results, outperforming the wider market.
"Solid results from the TV division show its resilience to the euro zone crisis, while the mobile division has become a strong cash cow on the back of strong Galaxy sales," said Seo Won-seok, an analyst at Korea Investment & Securities.
"Weak memory chip prices remain the biggest concern for Samsung in the third quarter, but it will again fare better than rivals as its reliance on Apple, which tends to squeeze suppliers quite a bit, is small compared to the likes of Hynix and Toshiba. It'll have less margin pressure."
JK Shin, head of Samsung's telecoms business, told Reuters on Sunday that sales of the Galaxy S III, the most aggressive competitor to the iPhone, were better than his initial forecast of at least 10 million units in the first two months after its launch in late May.
It is also preparing a sequel to the popular phone-cum-tablet Galaxy Note later this year to counter Apple's new product releases.
Samsung, which earlier this year ended Nokia's 14-year reign as the top global handset maker, is estimated to have increased smartphone shipments to 50.5 million in the June quarter, nearly double the 26 million iPhones sold.
Apple shipments in the June quarter tumbled 26 percent sequentially as the European economy sagged and consumers held off on buying ahead of the release of the iPhone 5.
"Regardless of Apple's performance, Samsung will be strong in the third quarter," said Byun Han-joon, an analyst at KB Investment & Securities. "Actually, for Samsung, Apple's stumble is a chance."
Analysts estimated that Samsung, which now controls more than a third of the global smartphone market, will sell 15 million to 20 million of its Galaxy S III in the September quarter.
Samsung, valued at $160 billion and the world's leading maker of TVs, said April-June operating profit totaled 6.72 trillion won ($5.9 billion), in line with guidance it issued earlier this month.
That is up 79 per cent from a year ago and 15 per cent from the previous record - 5.85 trillion won in the March quarter.
Still, its net profit of 5.2 trillion won ($4.5bn) is only half of the $8.8 billion Apple returned in the last quarter from its iPhone, iPad and Mac computer sales.
Samsung's gross margin of 37 percent also lags Apple's 43 percent.
The two technology giants, locked in bruising patent battle globally, will begin a jury trial in federal court in San Jose, California on Monday. Apple seeks roughly $2.5bn in damages, plus permanent injunctions on some Samsung phones and tablets, while Samsung is demanding patent royalty payments.
Samsung said it expected its third quarter - July to September - to be marginally positive as demand for consumer electronic goods, including smartphones and tablets remains strong.
However, it said it expected weak demand for PC DRAM to continue in the third quarter.
Song Myung-sub, a senior analyst at HI Investment & Securities, said chip earnings might pull back slightly in the third quarter.
"But the increase in demand for its products from Microsoft Windows 8 release in September and the iPhone in October will bring demand higher than supply," Song said.
Profit from the telecoms division more than doubled to 4.19 trillion won from a year earlier 1.71 trillion won, with sales of 50.5 million smartphones - or 380 every minute.
Its semiconductor business showed a small decline in profit to 1.1 trillion won from 1.79 trillion won, following weak demand for NAND memory chips and computer memory chips.
Prices of NAND flash memory chips tumbled 46 percent in the first half of this year following a 34 percent plunge last year, forcing Toshiba Corp to cut output by 30 percent.
The flat screen division swung to a small profit of 750 billion won from a year earlier loss of 210 billion won after a global fall in LCD (liquid crystal display) prices stabilized.
The TV and home appliances business returned 760 billion won, up from 470 billion won. Analysts have said the business has been buoyed by solid sales of high-end TV models with 3D and Internet connectivity features.
While the next iPhone will likely slow Samsung's handset earnings growth, it will boost the Korean firm's semiconductor earnings as Samsung is the sole producer of processing chips used to power the iPhone and iPad, and also supplies Apple with mobile memory chips, NAND flash and display screens.

The Sammy execs must be laughing all the way to the bank, given this phone was released 2 months ago and no doubt many more sales to come you have to say highly impressive sales figures.

Not sure i understand what you mean mate?
Nokia are *****d and the Nokia executives who decided to stay with Symbian should have been given their cards a long time ago.
If Nokia would have went with Android as their primary OS they wouldn't be in the precarious position they are now.

What I think he means is why is this posted in Q&A and not General if it's not a question of some sorts
I believe this is only currently available in Australia. I realize how easy it would be to buy something nearly identical. But I like everything to be LG brand. I would negotiate and do the transaction on swappa.com graveyard or whatever I'm allowed.
Thanks!

I hope they find a way to people can buy these outside of a silly Facebook contest.
I won one! Go me!
Sadly no win for me. Really pathetic that LG is making these things impossible to get outside of silly contests. Talk about leaving money on the table.
In the warranty it describes the procedure for disputes and claims. Unless you request an opt out, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AS WELL AS PARTICIPATING IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. "Neither you, nor any customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having completed the opt out requirements above."
Seriously you all, in light of all of the boot-loop issues, this is very important as if you do not opt out of this agreement then you will HAVE NO LEGAL STANDING IN A COURT OF LAW
So... what are the opt-out requirements?
But if you opt out you don't have a warranty?
Sent from my LG-LS993 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Opt Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor LG can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to LG no later than 30 calendar days from the date of the first consumer purchaser's purchase of the product by either: (i) sending an e-mail to [email protected], with the subject line: "Arbitration Opt Out" or (ii) calling 1-800-980-2973. You must include in the opt out e-mail or provide by telephone: (a) your name and address; (b) the date on which the product was purchased; (c) the product model name or model number; and (d) the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number, as applicable (the IMEI or MEID or Serial Number can be found (i) on the product box; (ii) on a label on the back of the product beneath the battery, if the battery is removable; or (iii) from the settings menu via the following path: Settings > General > About phone > Status). You may only opt out of the dispute resolution procedure in the manner described above (that is, by e-mail or telephone); no other form of notice will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the coverage of the Limited Warranty in any way, and you will continue to enjoy the full benefits of the Limited Warranty. If you keep this product and do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions of the arbitration provision described above.
I'll admit it, worst case scenario I'll send them a few emails and ring them a dozen times. But I'm not going to court over a phone.

:laugh: but oooh it has a curvy screen! It's a nice phone but I got too good of a deal on the G6 to turn it down. Plus I'm already seeing S8's everywhere.
Meh. If the phone goes kerflooey and I don't get treated right, I wouldn't mind arbitration at all. It's a pretty fair process.
Generally, those class action lawsuits tend to get tied up for years and years before the consumer sees any benefit, as the lawyers wring every last legal fee they possibly can.
Bought a 2013 Kia soul in 2012. Class action suit filed for mileage misstatement. Kia settled right up that year, and all the owners were to get 600 bucks. Then, it got held up over all kinds of issues, blah, blah... then last year, a totally new law firm filed an objection and extensive appeal to the fairness of the first settlement, and will now proceed to rake it for legal fees again for the next few years into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Meantime, the folks who these lawyers say they are fighting for might get 25 more bucks at the end. Maybe.
Bought the car 5 years ago. Kia settled 4 years ago. Lawyers will milk that cow til 2020 or longer if they can. Same thing probably will happen with the bootloop stuff, where you'll get 60 dollars from LG in 2025.
I'd arbitrate any day over doing that, and go home with a new phone or a substantial credit on the next phone, etc., and be light years ahead.
Your mileage may vary

How serious is it? Is that source reliable?
Seems legit. There are more sources that sustain this fact . In the second link you can listen Trump's speech about Huawei.

As expected once the trade negotiations are made suddenly the global security threat is forgotten.
Sounds like Trump may also understand how it affects American companies supplying Huawei at last.

On June 29, 2019, US President Donald Trump confirmed what could only be speculative: Huawei is the pawn he can ingest to see how China reacts. Americans have two words for this: "bargain chip".
"US companies can sell their equipment to Huawei. There is no big problem, national emergency. It's okay, we'll continue to sell products. American companies were not happy when they found out that they could not sell anymore to Huawei. '', said Trump earlier today. The disagreements between China and America have been summed up as "tariff war". The dispute is on what rates countries practice in their economic relations. Trump has to prove that America does not bow to others and China, well, has grown enough to say also that it does not bend.
Where this company was a danger to national security has now become "okay, we can do business with them." Sure, that no longer surprised anyone, but i think that we, the end user should not be involved in their politics.
Money makes the world go round. A good trade deal is what Trump exactly wants.
I'm surprised some people took it personal and thought this ban would be permanent and would be the end of Huawei.
Less than 1% of the P30 Pro's components originate from the US anyway and I for one was looking forward to seeing Ark OS.
These stupid companies you sell phones to will have to increase the price they buy Huawei phones now.
Ridiculous. £100?!
That was expected quite frankly. As much as this ban was going to affect Huawei, in the long run, they would've been able with their gigantic pocket, to build their own components and eventually run android without Google. But this would have a bigger impact on these American companies that was banned from working with Huawei, as when the next president was to come and lift the ban, Huawei would've been dependable by then and these companies would've been the biggest losers coming out of this.
I don't remember who it was, but one of the Democratic presidential candidates talked about this, he didn't mention Huawei, but he gave an example about soybeans, saying that if this tariffs war was to go longer, the biggest losers coming out of it will be the Americans, as China with time would have been able to find other sources to work with.
I never was worried about this, for Trump he treats this as a game, eventually it was predicted that he will back off. I saw no reason to sell my P30 Pro based on this war, nor did I lost interest in the upcoming monster in the Mate 30 Pro.
It might be a bit early to celebrate..

That will affect Huaweis attempt to build 5G in the US, but it looks like Qualcomm and Google as well as ARM will now be able to keep Huawei on board

Still on the fence. But good to see the allowance return. I am really missing my huawei. I went S10+ after b&h failed to acquire.
Only thing I like about my S10+ is MST paying. Literally can pay anywhere and not require NFC to be turned on.
I feel my signal is weaker almost everywhere too. My mate 10 pro pulled 74 down and 21 up on tmo and the S10+ pulled 43 and 22. Same spot. Same sim. Both unlocked outright bought.
