The movie name itself is very interesting and made me think what kind of story it will produce. As I was a computer hardware and software support before, the first connection to the word jumper is the motherboard jumper. Alright, I am totally out of topic now.

A Jumper is a person with supernatural ability and allows that person to teleport to any place that he or she has visited before. Well, you may say that you have watched Hiro in Heroes and there is nothing special about it except going to places with eyes blinking. I can assure you that this is different, totally.

Preview
There is this guy named Alex Rice, who lives with his father since he was five. His mother left them because she discovered Alex is a Jumper and she works for a government department that catches Jumpers around the world.

Alex never knew about his ability until one day when he was almost drowned in a freezing river. He ended up in the school’s library which surprises him. In fact, he surprises everyone because he flooded the library. He walks out without anyone questioning him. Soon enough, he starts utilising his power and teleporting into bank vaults to steal money.

I have owned Samsung Omnia i900V for a week now. The letter ‘V’ indicates that it is a Vodafone unit. I must say that I am very impressed with it. Maybe it is still a new thing to me as in the past; I preferred Symbian powered mobile phones.

Before I made my purchase, I read a lot of reviews. Like other phones, Samsung Omnia has its good and bad points. I never really pay attention to the good points because I already know what the phone is capable of doing by knowing the specifications. Bad points are the things that will determine whether I will hate or love the phone at the end of the day. However, some bad points can be easily solved by updating the ROM or firmware.

Somehow, I settled for a used unit as I am still not convinced that a mobile phone costing almost £400 is worth buying. Mind you, Samsung Omnia is £100 more than my Samsung NC10 while you can easily get a used unit for half the original price. And I get 1 year warranty.

The Screen
The first to note is the poor sunlight legibility. Yesterday was bright and sunny and I found it a little bit hard to see the screen contents. Well, this is not something to worry too much as we do not get much sunlight in UK as compared to Malaysia, do we?

When I first got Samsung Omnia, the touchscreen was not responsive and I often had to press hard on the touchscreen. However, an upgrade of ROM made the touchscreen more responsive although I still have to apply a reasonable amount of pressure on the touchscreen.

What do you look for when selecting a mobile phone; Functionality, design, interface, ease of use, compatibility, brand or price? In the past, I tend to go for a mobile phone that has the most functions and still cheap. That said, I am not looking at the design or ease of use because good functions and cheap phones are not usually the best looking ones. Here goes my list of phones:

1. Nokia 3310
2. Nokia 3200
3. Motorola T190
4. Nokia 6630
5. Nokia E61
6. Sony Ericsson W850i
7. Skypephone P1
8. Sony Ericsson P990i

My First Mobile Phone is still around
