Samsung Omnia Review
The Samsung Omnia is the new model from Samsung providing a rival to the connectivity and interface of the iPhone. It is otherwise known as the i900 and promises to offer its users everything in one device. Amongst its specifications it boasts great camera and business functions.
The camera on the Samsung Omnia is one area where the phone really stands out amongst similar types. It is a large 5 mega pixels, which is great for a Windows Mobile operated phone, and provides good quality detailed images. Videos are recorded in the MPEG4 format which is a huge plus, and users will benefit from a number of photography functions to improve images they may take.
The design of the phone is as you should expect from any rival to the iPhone – high quality and stylish. It is compact, with a minimal design that still makes it easy for most users. The screen itself is large, but does not quite provide the same quality resolution as boasted by the iPhone. The touch screen interface is undoubtedly important with a phone of this type, and this works well. Navigation is extremely intuitive, icons are large and easy to press, though the keyboard is a little more compact and difficult to use. Above these features, the home menu allows for customization of icons and for top functions to be added in the form of widgets, which is extremely useful for most mobile phone users who want quick access to their favourite features.
On top of its design and camera features, the Samsung Omnia allows users to listen to FM radio as well as their own music library. The phone comes with either 8GB or 16GB of included memory, undoubtedly one of the most generous out there, which means that there will be no problem storing music files or high quality photographs. Photos are viewed in a special organizer, and videos and music are played using the Omnia’s inbuilt media player. These programs are generally very useful and easy to navigate.
The connectivity of any smartphone is important, and it is a plus that the Samsung Omnia provides WiFi connectivity. However, some users may be disappointed due to the fact that high speed internet access for the USA is unsupported, but if you are not travelling or will not need this feature when travelling then this will not be a problem. For business on the move, various tools are included. The Windows Mobile platform means that users can edit and view Office files in Word, Excel and so on as well as viewing PDFs.
In short, this device has its faults but it also has certain other features to help make up for these. The camera is one of the best seen on any Windows Mobile device, and the interface is well-designed and customizable. This phone undoubtedly provides many features in one very stylish place and will go some way to provide users with alternative options when it comes to choosing a smart phone.
