      Business phone but no Qwerty.
      GPS but no A+
      LED Flash
      Specs unclear if office viewer or pocket office

      So take care that the phone has what you really expect

        I see it actually has Shozu running on it. Well if someone is testing a i900 with Shozu, I might have to check this out myself!

              Great device but there is one handicap which is ms windows.
              It should have LiNuX os or any other e.g Symbian etc.

                          Samsung always impress with the looks of there mobiles but its the software an functions they need to sort out to really impress me an all the others who have experienced using there mobiles,o.k the touch screen mobiles have bigger screens but your wiping the screen all the time,an another thing you will have to watch out for on Samsung mobiles is the lcd screens they are to expensive to repair they cost to much to buy

                                        This phone looks SICK!

                                        I was reading http://samsungomnia.org but couldn't find anything about whether it will be released in the USA? I know it will start in Asia and then spread to Europe... but do us Americans get left in the dust again?
