Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia > Reviews

Advantages: Good memory and range of functions.
Disadvantages: Fussy handling on some applications and takes a little getting used to.

...but it was tempting. The Samsung Omnia is what they came up with as a substitute to the iPhone. I explained they would be having it back if it wasn't up to scratch...I still have it five months later. The Samsung Omnia has everything you could be looking for in a phone plus more. It has Microsoft mobile which is very user-friendly, a decent MP3 player (if that is something you want), great email capabilities and it has good access to the internet. ... Read review

Advantages: Display, Accelerometer, Battery life, Call quality, Software
Disadvantages: No keyboard or stylus makes texting hard

Overall the Omnia is an excellent phone. I chose it over the Sony-Ericson Xperia, and the recent HTC phones. I have no regrets on the purchase but I'm going to outline what I think are the best and worst aspects of the phone. First, display, video, call quality and reception are all fantastic. Battery life is decent. The phone is pretty fast too - no laggy menus, and the menus themselves are pretty well laid out. Camera is fantastic and has a bright ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Terrible touchscreen, awkward operation and generally rubbish!

...it to be. The regular Samsung menus are comparable to other Samsung handsets, and better to use. The phone also get ridiculously bad reception. In areas where I know reception should be good, this phone won't connect. When I was sold this phone in the shop I was told the Opera internet system was excellent and rivalled the iPhone's internet access. In reality it is slow and clunky, and I prefer to use the slightly better but not brilliant Interent ... Read review

Advantages: Very good looking, loads of features
Disadvantages: Screen scratches very easily, touch screen could be better

The Samsung Omnia is without a doubt a very good phone. I bought one on recommendation from a friend and am very pleased with it. The phone itself looks very good and is quite compact and light. There are absolutely loads of features, some of which I don't even use. MS Notebook, Powerpoint, Word and Excel are all very useful for carrying files instead of using a memory stick. Similarly, lots of mp3 files can be stored in the phone instead of using ... Read review

I got my new Samsung Omnia about a month ago, while the look and feel is great it seems a bit slower compared to my XDA IIs. Also I found the memory allocation can not be adjusted between programs and storage, on XDA you can easily do this. I have installed just 4 simple programs from SPB in My storage area yet the storage space in my device as dropped to 8Mb and about 52Mb for Programs!. If i recieve few emails that is the end of it I get messages saying I am low on Memory! Wish there was a fix that would make OMNIA a better unit. Finally a space for Stylus would have been good.

Advantages: looks good, Wifi, 5MP camera, plenty of storage
Disadvantages: camera is awful, lags a lot, slow start up, no storage for stylus, bad battery life

The Samsung Omnia is one of those phones that looks perfect on paper. 5MP camera, lots of memory (8gb), Wifi, inbuilt MP3 player... it was all the things I had been looking for. But in reality, the Samsung Omnia is less than perfect. Pros: - It looks great, but is extremely prone to scratching I've found. - Packed with features - 5MP camera - 8gb of storage - Wifi - Speedy when it wants to be Cons: - The camera is terrible, image stabiliser does ...

Advantages: Great for email. Excellent touch screen. Large viewing screen
Disadvantages: The battery seems to not last long if web browsing

I have had this phone for 5 monts now and could not live without it. I use it mainly for accessing my emails while out and about. It was easy to set this up with a Google Mail account and easy to use. I would say the phone is mainly for business use rather than just as a everyday phone. For this the connection with Microsoft products it excellent. I havent really used the music features as I tend to prefer my ipod. The camera gives clear ... Read review

in my opinion samsung omnia has a complete feature. i have purchased it and feel very satisfied. i think this phone like iPhone when i got the menu, but with the windows mobile makes this phone looks perfect cool. and omnia have a good battery lifetime and comes up with a big storange (16GB), it's too much for me and no need to me to buy some external memory. but i'm disapointed with the java application, this phone do not have a navigation key and ...
