Phone is Fantastic

1 Apr 2009 Lahiru

9.3 out of 10

Its nearly been a month since i've bought the phone and I think the Omnia is completely amazing. For a Windows Mobile, its performance is inpeccable and also, the extent to which software support is there is superb. The initial User Interface is good, a different and creative approach, and when I went through the reviews on many sites, they mentioned that the widjets were useless and not upgradable, but I stand to differ. Samsung have released Update Packs which contain new widgets, games, etc. The usability of the phone is also very good. It only takes a week to get used to the phone, thereafter your its master !!! Whats more, the sound quality, image quality and features are very good and useful. I believe Samsung have brought a different era to Windows Mobile, and they've done a great job at it !!! Bravo !


Samsung although have failed to advertise what a good job they've done with the camera !!! The Speed, Resolution and quality are all good, and whats more, the omnia has Panoramic Pictures upto 8 PICS !!! And Smile Detection works fantastically... Truly the Omnia is one of a kind !





16 GB Space with good performance
Good Camera
Fantastic options on Camera like Panoramic View & Smile Detection
Everything Else

OMNIA's themes and suggestions for more info

27 Mar 2009 mom

9.7 out of 10

I looked for themes for OMNIA on other sites and I couldn’t find it at all. The zedge.net site is very good. Too bad there are no themes for OMNIA but you don’t really need it. There are 6 themes already on the phone.


Go to http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/omnia/index.jsp, this is for updating your firmware on your Omnia. It is very effective and every time I updated my firmware, Samsung always improve some thing on it such as better scrolling on screen and other stuff and even adds new games and etc…, which is great.

 
This is my first Samsung phone, and before I was big Nokia Fan, when I saw this I decide to buy it right away and I didn’t make mistake about it. It is awesome phone and I grateful that I bought it. Samsung is doing a great job on OMNIA because they work on firmware that will fix the glitches and also add some interesting features such as new game, making more user-friendly, adding more widgets and making long windows that can be scrolled easily such as in phonebook and programs applications.


If you are fan and/or user of Samsung OMNIA and want more information about and some good links that can be helpful for your cell phone, go to Facebook and join Samsung Omnia group.

Awesome phone

30 Jan 2009 James G

Whether its the fact that this phone has every feature known to man or if its just the phones sleek design and easy to use software, it is undeniably the best value for money phone on the market. Its quick, has heaps of storage (not including the 16gb SD card i am using), great GPS, excellent music player and youtube is great. But i can't forget that underneath all of these features is a phone, and an excellent one at that. The touch pad is responsive, typing text messages is simple whether it be with the qwerty keyboards or the massive T9 touch keypad. Dialing numbers is easy and searching through the contacts is extremely simple. By far the best phone i have ever had and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, feature-packed phone thats easy to use and looks good.
