Samsung OMNIA Reviews
Pocket-lint does a first look review of the Samsung OMNIA and writes, “Luckily when it comes to internet browsing Samsung has realised that IE just isn’t up to the job and so you’ll also find Opera Mobile on-board as well. The browser is incredibly easy to use and thanks to the inclusion of the accelerometer, viewing pages in landscape mode is as easy as turning the device…On a performance front, in our brief play the phone performed well coping with the requests we asked for. The touchscreen also seemed more responsive than previous consumer Samsung mobile phones we’ve tested and overall Windows users should be happy.” Link.
Pocketnow reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “This is going to be a really hot device, and when it comes to the US (which is still not confirmed, but quite likely), it’s 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 everyone: the mobile professional, the multimedia fiend, and even the fashion conscious.” Link.
The Unwired reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “The open market version of the Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia comes with the handset, the battery, the charger, a stereo in-ear headset and the USB sync-cable as well as with some PC-software and the manual. A stylus, and this is also unique for Windows Mobile Professional smartphones is left and only available as accessory. Also available as separate accessories are a leather case and a TV-out cable…All together I can say that I’m quite happy with the Samsung i900 Omnia and it made it to my every day phone now. However I will definitely try 3rd party keyboards to make it nearly the perfect device for me.” Link.
Phonemag reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “Our biggest complaint? The Samsung Omnia is quadband GSM, but its UMTS is only 2100MHz. It’s built for 3G but only capable of EDGE. This is only the case on the U.S. version of the phone, however, so those abroad should enjoy the high speeds this phone was meant for. Hopefully this will be fixed before the U.S. release.” Link.
CNET UK reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “Many bloggers who have briefly used the Samsung Omnia immediately protested that it’s not an iPhone killer. That’s a fair point, but having said that, it’s not a bad smart phone at all. In fact, we’d go as far as saying that it’s one of our favourite touchscreen Windows Mobile devices so far. We’d like it even more if it had a slide-out Qwerty keyboard, but no doubt that version is around the corner.” Link.
Slash Gear reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “There’s a lot to like about the Samsung i900 Omnia. The GPS and high-resolution camera both work well, battery life is good and it’s undoubtedly a handsome phone. You can take your pick whether to blame Microsoft for Windows Mobile 6.1’s fiddly interface or Samsung for not fully covering it up with TouchWiz; hopefully future versions will do a better job. What’s most definitely Samsung’s fault is the absence of US-spec UMTS, and for many of the power-users that would be the Omnia’s obvious audience that could be the deciding factor.” Link.
MobileBurn reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “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. Samsung’s done a good job of layering some new functionality over what is otherwise a somewhat dated Windows Mobile user interface. The Samsung extensions and menus are visually appealing and fun to use, not to mention functional. The Omnia’s superb camera should be considered a lesson to other manufacturers on how things should be done in a smartphone, and having up to 16GB of built-in storage as well as supporting microSD cards means that there are few devices in production that can carry around more media files than the Omnia. That’s all great stuff.” Link.
ZDNet reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “…I am also quite impressed with the capability and speed of the display rotation in every application in three directions. Unlike the iPhone and HTC Diamond inconsistent behavior, you get the same experience on the OMNIA in every application you run. Like the popular Samsung Instinct, I think the OMNIA is an Instict on steroids with Windows Mobile powering the advanced features.” Link.
MobileTechReview does a review of the Samsung Omnia and writes, “If the Samsung Omnia had US 3G, we’d give it our Editor’s Choice award– the i900 is otherwise our dream Windows Mobile device. OK, we might opt for a traditional d-pad for gaming, but we have our DS and PSP’s for that wink. The smartphone is stunning looking, solidly built and loaded with cutting-edge features. More important is that Samsung’s mostly excellent software and UI customizations have taken drab Windows Mobile out of the dust bin into today’s world of touch-screen goodness. And this isn’t just eye candy: Samsung’s customizations have made it easier, more efficient and fun to do common tasks. From the responsive GPS to the excellent camera, the Omnia never ceased to impress us.” Link.
Trusted Reviews has a review of the Samsung Omnia and writes, “Though not perfect, its negative points don’t make Samsung’s Omnia a bad handset. It has a very good camera, is very responsive, has an excellent web browser and all the usual advantages of Windows Mobile devices like slick Outlook syncronisation, Office document compatibility and a raft of free downloadable applications. Unfortunately, these key strengths are less consumer orientated and this is largely a handset meant for them, not businessmen or women. This means that despite some clear promise, it still struggles to compete with the iPhone as a conusmer handset.” Link.
PC Authority reviews the Samsung Omnia i900 and writes, “Beyond the snapper, there’s a highly serviceable GPS setup, not to mention the music player where you have 8GB or 16GB of storage to play with…So does it beat the iPhone? Certainly its Windows Mobile heart is hidden behind a very capable and attractive interface and it’s also a good size and fun to use, though it doesn’t quite ace the iPhone in any respect.” Link.
CNET Australia reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “Samsung’s Omnia is overflowing with features, but lacks the usability that would make it a great phone for everyday use. Owners of Omnias will no doubt find situations to make use of all the technology built into the handset, especially media sharing with DLNA networking; however, using the Omnia for common tasks, like messaging, feels cumbersome. Most of the fault here lies with Windows Mobile and if Samsung intends to continue with Microsoft’s OS for a next-generation Omnia we can only hope the company intends to modify even more of the platform so that users rarely face the frustrating interface.” Link.
InfoSync reviews the Samsung Omnia (Verizon) and writes, “The phone has few buttons, and it could use a few more, while some of the existing keys need to be remapped. The optical mouse did not make navigating the menus any easier, and added little functionality. The optical mouse button also acts as a select key, but we’re curious as to why there needs to be a select key on an all-touch phone. Instead, Samsung should have remembered that Windows Mobile phones need an “OK” button, which also acts to close individual windows and back out of programs.” Link.
PC Mag reviews the Samsung Omnia (Verizon) and writes, “When we reviewed the unlocked GSM version of the Omnia, we were underwhelmed; it simply isn’t worth its $750 street price. But dropped into Verizon’s lineup for $249 (with a two-year contract and rebate), and boosted by 3G, the Omnia is much more appealing. While I’d still recommend a device like a BlackBerry Curve with a physical keyboard for business users, the Samsung Omnia SCH-i910 is the best Verizon phone we’ve seen for photos, video recording, and Web browsing.” Link.
PC World reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “Available for $249 (with a two-year contract), the sophisticated Omnia has just about everything you could want in a smart phone. But certain omissions, such as a standard 3.5-mm headphone jack and a physical QWERTY keyboard, keep it from being a threat to the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G1.” Link.
CNET reviews the Samsung Omnia (Verizon Wireless) and writes, “Like the RIM BlackBerry Storm, the Omnia is not the best smartphone for those who need a messaging-centric device, since the onscreen keyboard is a bit cramped. However, for Verizon Wireless customers looking for a touch-screen smartphone, you’ll get a better user experience and faster performance from the Samsung Omnia than the BlackBerry Storm. While slightly pricier at $249.99 (with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts), the Omnia is worth the extra $50 and is a respectable competitor to the Apple iPhone.” Link.
PC Mag reviews the Samsung Omnia and writes, “It’s not an awful device: If you’re checking off a list of must-have features, such as GPS, Wi-Fi, and long battery life, the Omnia will probably hit almost all of them (3G being the notable exception). Its camera, video playback, and battery performance are all exemplary, and it’s not a bad voice phone. But anyone with a feel for good software design should stay away—especially at this price.” Link.
