Im realy at a loss to decide among Omnia HD and N97 which on I should buy. Everything of N97 was ok with me except...
1. Only a 5MP camera which may will take a lot of time to process images like all othr nokia 5MP's.
2. Only VGA video record.
3. It's said by many that its resistive touch screen will be no different from 5800's which I didn't like at all.
4. No 3D graphics accilarator and processor maybe is not much speedy.
Probs with omnia HD:
1. No physical QWERTY keyboard (I'd love one).
2. Too bulky.
3. No screen rotation in main menues.
4. Unimpressive gallery.
5. No DBV-H TV.
6. Software limitations (everyone knows that nokia is best in this front).
7. Can't play N-Gaze.
8. Not even a duel LED flash like N97.
9. The front side of the phone looks chinese phone like.
Anyone can tell me what should I do now?

I bet the Omnia HD will come in an ugly box and cheap packaging like all the other Samsung phones.
Samsung seriously needs to spend a little more on packaging.

Anonymous, 12 Apr 2009Its release will be on June along with Iphone 2009, LG View... moreI'll take the N97 any day over the Samsung omnia or the lg viewty 2, its not just specs that count, its the overall functionality. Nokia N97 bridges the gap between functionality and services. Though both the omnia and viewty are nice offerings, they severely lack on services and services are the core of functionality.
For example, I don't want to be found in a situation where my friends and colleagues are enjoying Ngage, Ovi app store, widgets, Nokia maps, Nokia messaging, huge array of applications, regular updates and so on, on their N97 and am left out, wishing I had purchased the N97, but by then it will be too late and I hate to regret. So the N97 cuts it for me, its where i'll put my money on. Plus the physical slide out keyboard is a lovely addon, virtual keyboards don't just give you that good feeling inside. I can't trade off full functionality for a few gimmicky features which you can certainly do without. Just my 2 cents. Thanks

Looked at both Omnia HD and N97 prototype. OMNIA HD is slow. I hope the final retail firmware will be faster and responsive and at least 50% speedier as said. Otherwise bye-bye Omnia HD!!
Coz I Shall not fall for the hype but will wait until convinced with hands on.
Anyway I am not in to HD recording. I feel prospective buyers should not get over exited with talk going on. Lets compare the design/Hardware/applications/Performance etc with Nokia N97. Lets wait and see if Samsung can deliver as they say!! If they do the crown is theirs! Otherwise Nokia N97 is the winner!

Try avoiding getting shot at by pulling out this huge samsung i8910 (bigger than iphone)out of your pocket trying to impress someone. when the n97 has all the nice features and is about the same size as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

Font size of text - I have been shown the MS Word function on the Omnia and the font size can be raised to 14+. Can the text size in messaging also be raised to this level? this is critical as I don'twant to have to put on reading glasses everytime to read a text message.

Does Omnia Hd has GPS receiver with support for assisted
GPS (A-GPS)? Any Maps with integrated compass
and A-GPS receivers? Multimedia city guides and navigation services? voice guided car navigation? These are with N97.

Shawn, 11 Apr 2009My friend all the UI videos you have seen are shot with Omn... moreThanks 4 the reply. But I am asking about the responsiveness of the touch screen of Omnia HD. I have seen many a time the taps on the screen or movements did not bring up the next screen or the next application smoothly. But the N97 I believe is more responsive. Plz correct me if am wrong but this is quite visible on many videos.
