More pocketable than iPhone. Impressive interface.
Sure
The iPhone is good at consuming media and browsing the web
But what if you actually need to get stuff done? The Omnia has a large 3.2-inch touchscreen
Friendly ‘widget’ icons and easy messaging but scratch the cartoony surface and you&...

The editors didn't like
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
Abstract: REVIEW Samsung is already wooing potential Apple iPhone customers with the Instinct, 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 ...
Abstract: Samsungs Omnia smartphone seems to have been designed as the Windows Mobile answer to the iPhone. But, while it has a touch-driven display, the Omnia just cannot match the simplicity of Apples user interface. We took a brief look at the SGH-i900 Omni...
Top-notch user interface, Wi-Fi and HSDPA (in Europe) support, Loaded with apps, Supports multiple video and audio formats
3G doesn’t work in the U.S, Keyboard and touchscreen could be more accurate, Expensive
Think of it as the Windows Mobile–powered Instinct for trust fund babies. Samsung’s luxury touchscreen phone, the Omnia, is a very expensive unlocked device ($720 with 16GB of storage, $690 with 8GB) that comes with a 5-megapixel camera (with...
Abstract: Samsung's phones are as widespread and popular as Nokias these days and that success has come as a result of consistently producing sleek, good-looking handsets with mass appeal. But Samsung also wants a slice of the iPhone action, it would seem, and has ...
Abstract: The Samsung Omnia i900 and the HTC Touch Diamond are the two hot iPhone-inspired Windows Mobile Professional slate touch screen phones for the summer of 2008. While both pervasively re-skin the less than sexy Windows Mobile OS to make it more fun, att...
Abstract: Samsung Omnia reviewby Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 18th 2008 at 12:59PMNo longer does Windows Mobile alone a capable smartphone make. The platforms core is as relevant, powerful, and well-supported as ever, but thats not the problem -- the real issue i...
Great camera, good menus and apps, massive storage capacity, Opera browser
Questionable display, relatively poor text input methods, incomplete haptic feedback
If you are a fan of devices like the Apple iPhone and the HTC Touch Diamond, the Samsung Omnia is probably going to capture your interest. Samsungs done a good job of layering some new functionality over what is otherwise a somewhat dated Windows Mob...

Abstract: Talk about contentious: Samsung’s Omnia i900 has been heralded as everything from the best Windows Mobile smartphone yet, to the oft-fabled iPhone killer. Take a look at the spec sheet and you can see why, with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, GPS, h...
Abstract: Translated from Greek, the name of Samsung’s new model means “everything” and its main purpose is to fully satisfy the needs of the modern cell phone user. This is a phone with a unique combination of characteristics such as 5-megapixel camera, large t...
Gorgeous, thin design, Optical joystick, Lightweight, Incredible camera, Snappy performance, Fingerfriendly enhancements, Includes Opera 9.5, Great battery life, Vibration feedback helps to avoid mistaps, aGPS/WiFi/HSDPA, Good onscreen keyboard choices
No inbuilt stylus, Buggy, Pricey (unsubsidized), Fingerprint magnet, No case included, Screen resolution is a bit low, No 3G in the US, yet
This is going to be a really hot device, and when it comes to the US (which is still not confirmed, but quite likely), its going to sell very well. Samsung has made it very easy to love the Omnia by adding a surfeit of features that can appeal to ...
