Samsung Omnia review

By Ginny Mies (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The sophisticated Samsung Omnia has just about everything you could want in a smartphone.

Despite a few kinks relating to the interface and a few omissions in the design, the Samsung Omnia is a high-quality handset that delivers a generous array of features.

Samsung Omnia

By Bonnie Cha (zdnet.co.uk)

Although there are some design quirks, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to Apple's iPhone.

Nice touch-screen ; Customisable interface ; 5-megapixel camera ; Plentiful multimedia features

You can't add additional widgets to the TouchWiz interface ; Some nagging design quirks ; Expensive

The Omnia is Samsung's biggest attempt to de-throne the iPhone yet. Can it overcome its Windows Mobile leanings?

A fine touchscreen phone, but held back by Windows Mobile and a slightly disappointing snapper

Samsung Omnia i900 review

By Andrew Lim (cnet.co.uk)

Samsung continues to pump out handsets like there's no tomorrow -- sometimes they're good and sometimes they're not. The Samsung Omnia is a good one and while it isn't as responsive as the iPhone in some ways, it's a competent Windows Mobile phone that...

HSDPA (7.2Mbps) ; Wi-Fi ; GPS ; Large screen

No built-in 3.5mm headphone jack ; Camera isn't as sharp as we expected

If you don't mind not being able to send MMS, shoot video or edit Microsoft documents, among other things, get an iPhone 3G. But if your heart is set on a Windows Mobile touchscreen phone with similar features to the iPhone, the Omnia should certainly...

Samsung Omnia i900

By Jonathan Bray (trustedreviews.com)

Samsung goes after the iPhone with its latest touchscreen effort, but can it hide Windows Mobile successfully?

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,...

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.

This is a decent handset, but its multimedia performance won't blow your mind

Feature-packed ; decent interface

Windows Mobile is a clunky operating system ; strange stylus ; average picture and sound quality

The 16GB edition of Samsung's Omnia has a lot going for it but is let down by Windows Mobile, which makes parts of the phone clunky to use.

Samsung Omnia

By Laldinfela Pachuau (pcworld.in)

The Omnia has a rich set of features and excellent performance, and is one of our top choice among Windows based phones.

Beautiful screen ; Good virtual qwerty keypad ; Top-notch 5MP camera ; Native DivX playback support

No 3.5mm jack ; Poor audio playback

With a steep fall in price, the Omnia with its great multimedia performance is one of the better Windows Mobile high end devices we have seen.
