Samsung i8910 Omnia HD preview: First look

16 February 2009
Now that's a big one - the handset with one of the longest spec sheets we've ever seen has just dropped on us like a bomb. The Omnia HD is Samsung's go at touch-taming the Symbian S60 and is introducing truly revolutionary stuff...

    Samsung fans dissed the iphone having a capacitive touchscreen because they prefer to use a stylus coz they said it's better, lol. I guess Samsung fans would now hate this phone because it has a capacitive touchscreen like the iphone, lol.

          Anonymous, 17 Feb 20091) Dose it have Dual SIM 2) Dose it have a integrated StylusIt won't have a stylus as is capacitive touchscreen, so needs organic contact to register touch.

          Also, someone previously mentioned that 24fps is slow, that's standard TV/DVD/Blu-Ray playback frequency.

            Anonymous, 17 Feb 2009 "WVGA will have to bow its respects - 720p HD videos are a... moreI meant: it has no WVGA screen!

            I don't want a measly 360 x 640px, I know Samsung can do better as they've done it for the SoftBank Omnia! 854x480px is the least one could expect for such a "high-end" device.

            720p video needs at least a WVGA screen to view it on.

                          Nice preview article. The only thing missing is a preview of what the browser on the phone looks like, or was it disabled on the test unit? I love my Nokia 5800, but we all know nokia has been dragging their feet on tweaking S60 touch. If samsung delivers and doesn't overcharge like they normally do, I'm so jumping ship when the HD comes out. N97... what's that?

                              This phone is nothing but a spec phone, It looks good on paper but when you use it you will see that this phone will sucks. The first Omnia was garbage and so will this Omnia HD. Nice software this phone has LOL

                                      My god!!! Where is the Moto Alexander? The SE Idou and this new Omnia are excelents. If the Nokia stop in the time it will be the next Motorola. Speaking in the Motorola: - The time is running guys! Where are the news! Where?... Well, I believe in your reputation.
