Samsung OMNIA Review

Translated from Latin, 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 …

Excellent

1. It is amazingly packed with everything anyone would need in a mobile device!

The Samsung Omnia is the best mobile phone I've ever used in my life. It has everything I wanted in one mobile phone; I got the 16 GB version, so I have a lot of space to play with. It has a built-in GPS that I use with Google Maps, and it is very precise and spot on and fast. The 5 MP camera is surprisingly real, meaning that it delivers the high quality images you would expect from the number "5 MP". Video recording is another great feature, with flash and digital zoom, slow motion recording, and a packed editing software built right into the mobile phone. Sound is great, not as high as you would expect but very real and usable; playing music is easy and fun, and using the head set gives you a clear crisp sound that you would want to have.

I love the Geo tagging feature, where every picture you take gets tagged by the GPS of its actual location at the moment you took that picture.

SMS, Mail, MMS and the whole package of internet communication. Opera browser beats every single mobile browser I've ever used on a mobile phone; it kills Safari, BlackBerry and IE Mobile browsers and bury them in mud and dirt.

The software bundle is great; Office and the works. WLM messenger for chat. Great UI, easy to navigate.

A front camera for video calls is also a great touch. The mobile is packed with all connection options; WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM, 3.5 G (7.2 Mbps, unlike the old and sluggish iPhone 1.5 Mbps max), USB.

I can't find better words to describe how good is this mobile phone, but I can assure you that it is by far the best ever made mobile phone in all markets around the world, and all other companies, especially NOKIA, imate, HTC and Apple who all should learn from Samsung's Omnia how to do some real-deal mobile phones instead of the crippled feature-missing phones they keep producing.

Omnia is a: iPhone killer, imate smacker, NOKIA hanger, HTC drawner.
