Windows Mobile 6.1
Doesn’t make full use of the touchscreen
Windows Mobile is a clunky operating system
Strange stylus
Average picture and sound quality
Strange stylus on a lanyard. Windows Mobile at its heart. Shutter lag on camera
Do we really need to tell you that the Omnia doesn’t look or handle like an Apple? The case is plastic
As is the resistive touchscreen – where haptic buzzing is no substitute for the iPhone’s gliding multi-touch. You’ll need the s...
Screen isnt great in sunlight
Stylus sometimes required
Flash isnt great
Video capture isnt to class
You cant add additional widgets to the TouchWiz interface
Fun to use & responsive, Sleek design, Innovative valueadded features (e.g. flashlight, haptic feedback).

The Omnia is a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone, so at the basic level, you know what you're getting. The difference between it and basically every other WinMo 6.1 phone lies in the TouchWiz UIcing that's been slathered on top, and the hardware. If...
When we sum everything said, we can only conclude that Samsung succeeded to create true “Swiss knife” in domain of PDA devices. For price around 500€ Samsung Omnia i900 can do so much, and is up to you to use all those possibilities accor...
Abstract: The camera is also a major plus-point on this phone, with a 5-megapixel sensor. You’ll still find digital noise at low light levels, but image quality proved great when out and about during daylight. The removable memory card also comes in handy, as y...
The Omnia i900 is a stellar piece of hardware, if you can get accustomed to its idiosyncrasies. If you can't, you'll likely end up going nuts. Love it or hate it, there's very little room in between. I've gone through both in the process of reviewing ...
Universal landscape mode and universal landscape QWERTY; optically-enhanced action button functions as a scroller or track pad; appropriate use of haptic feedback and accelerometers; excellent 5 MP camera with LED flash, auto-focus and face detection; ...
Windows Mobile may be a bit cumbersome and inaccessible for some users, even with Samsungs TouchWiz UI, which is a bit bland, but better than WM default; reception problems in sketchy coverage areas; no built-in stylus sheath; volume rocker sits RIGHT...
The Omnia is at the top of everyones list of gotta-try-it touchscreen phones. It has capable hardware and a generous screen; large and sensitive enough to compete in the iPhone-driven market. The unlocked version is pricey, but cheaper than it closest...
The Samsung Omnia features a nice touch screen and customizable interface that makes the Windows Mobile smartphone more user-friendly. It also has a 5-megapixel camera and a boatload of other multimedia features.
You cant add additional widgets to the TouchWiz interface, and there are some nagging design quirks. The unlocked version does not offer U.S. 3G support, and its expensive.
While there are some design quirks, and were still waiting for a U.S. release, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to the Apple iPhone. Specifications: OS provided: Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional; Band / mode: EDGE 850/900/...
Abstract: Samsung is already wooing potential customers with the , a successful design that offers Sprint subscribers a reasonable alternative to AT&Ts popular handset, even if the Instinct isnt a true smartphone. Now the company is aiming for the high-end ma...
