South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung is reportedly gearing up for the release of a new software update for its Omnia W smartphones, so as to provide users with support for Wi-Fi tethering capabilities. Apparently, the feature was expected to be included in the new Windows Phone 7.8 platform upgrade, but the OS arrived on some devices without it, WMPoweruser notes. However, Samsung is committed to providing the capability to its users, and it has already confirmed that it will deliver it via the aforementioned update for Omnia W. “We can confirm that the upgrade to version 7.8 for Omnia W is issued directly from Microsoft does not include tethering. Similarly, [we] confirm, however, that we are already working on a Maintenance Release that includes this feature and will be available in the coming weeks,” the company told WindowsPhoneItaly.

I am using SAMSUNG OMNIA W. I had made the biggest mistake by purchasing this product. On the other hand NOKIA, DELL, HTC and others are providing each facilities to its customer. They are getting many many option to customize their phone....but SAMSUNG, simply making its customer fool. SAMSUNG just need is money. I purchased OMNIA W at a price tag of wooping RS 16,000, on the other hand nokia is providing "n" number of features, facilities at half the price. There are many many apps exclusively for NOKIA customer but we SAMSUNG OMNIA W customer are not even getting an official update. No update, no feedback, no exclusive app, no customize option, no attention by SAMSUNG, many a time phone hangs, apps crashes, and LOT more.
When i called samsung and said about all this, they said " SIR WE ARE WORKING ON IT". Now my QUESTION is its about nearly 2 years of the date the phone is being launched, what the hell are you guys saying. THE reply i got was "SIR IF YOU ARE FACING TOO MANY PROBLEM THEN WHY DONT YOU PURCHASE WP8 RECENTLY LAUNCHED BY SAMSUNG.
THEY ARE LEAST CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER. They dont know how to give AFTER SALES SERVICES. Do hell with you guys.
