Sure
The iPhone is good at consuming media and browsing the web

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

Full range of wireless features; haptic feedback; improved text input methods; navigation software included; attractive design; excellent battery life; Opera 9.5 browser included.
Some apps may not work properly; finger scrolling not consistently implemented; use of microSD slot requires battery removal; no stylus slot.
The Omnia is a good alternative to the HTC Touch Diamond with a competitive price and a truckload of features, though Samsung does need to work on the interface to improve its consistency and usefulness.

Abstract: Well, its the final whistle in our head-to-head. Tempted as we are to not leave it a tie and send it to a penalty shootout, we just have to pay due respect to both contenders. After all its not the score that makes the game exciting. Sometimes a dra...
Attractive user interface; great 5megapixel camera; plays multiple video file formats.
Browser freezes up at times; GPS navigation does not work out of the box; touchscreen interface is frustrating without the stylus.
The Samsung Omnia is really an all-in-one device that tries hard to cover all grounds. As a mobile phone, the Omnia nails it when it comes to providing exceptional call quality though it can be frustrating to text message with the phone’s cramped ke...

Abstract: Ask if this has been a good year for tech enthusiasts, and the general answer might have been a firm yes. As with each year, there have been some hits and misses over the past few months, but mostly hits, in our humble opinion. Leaving CommunicAsia 200...
Abstract: Do you still want to wait for the iPhone 3G ? The Samsung OMNIA has everything packed in one single smart device that works better. Based on Windows MObile 6.1, the Samsung OMNIA does away with the rigid interface with a 3.2” WQVGA TFT LCD (240 x 40...
