Samsung OMNIA Review
Posted by Jack Cook on 07/25/08 in Pocket PC Phones, Samsung
There are a lot of well done reviews starting to appear on the Samsung OMNIA. Phone Arena has done a great job with their review giving you a pretty good run down on the device as well as providing you with a slew of pictures to look at.
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 touch display and GPS, taking advantage of the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform. In addition, this is the first device with a built-in support of not only DivX, but XviD video. The logical question ‘Can it cook?’ comes to mind …
So what was their final verdict? They think it is a great all-in-one device. The OMNIA performed very well in every aspect and offers a wonderful combination of a 5-megapixel camera, media player, internet browser and GPS navigation. They were impressed with the quality sound during a conversation. There was one serious drawback in their opinion and that was the interface, which they felt should have been much easier to use for the mass consumer.
































Is it same as Sprint Instinct?
Does this work with the popular free GPS navigation of LifeInPocket Java app and services?
the omnia indeed does look sweeet. arne hess at the::unwired has a video walk-through with a production rom installed. worth checking out.
answering the previous correspondent’s question - the omnia has not been released in the us yet, but will be released in europe later in the summer. rumors have the omnia going to at&t.
