I have the iPhone 3g and I do like it and I know it's pros and cons. I've been looking at the Samsung Omnia and seem to like it a lot more as it offers a lot more, as in better camera and mms support.... so I ask you all out there, Do I stick with iPhone 3g or move over to the Samsung Omnia, whats your thoughts?
Thanks in Advance

i'm concern about the GPS.Is this Samsung Omnia GPS via satelite, means functioning like GPS navigator? As i called Samsung they said only via 3G or wifi. If via 3G it will be costly when using GPS.

someone posted this at the se x1 opinion and i thought it would be useful for people who wnats to buy samsung omnia.
bought Samsung Omnia.
But it turned out a disappintment as follow:
- same ear piece and loud speaker so the sound quality is terrible.
- frozen and didn't wake up most of the time.
- terrible sunlight readibility. can't use GPS in bright daylight even in the car. what's the point of GPS then?
- touch screen is not very sensitive as HTC devices and at some points, touch is not possible expecially, near ok button. I tested touch testing, only one point near ok button. That's why so hard to press it.
- full of Samsung stuffs in rom and can't remove them and hard to update software like flash lite, google map, opera.
- terrible dialer interface
- bluetooth stereo is not as good as HTC devices..
- Stylus can't be carried all the time and difficult to deal with small things sometimes.
- hard to take pictures in bright sunlight. it's all funny color.
Oh, My god, I have made the wrong choice... Should have waited for X1.

Jhake (UAE), 18 Oct 2008Finally I got my i900 Omnia 16GB, what I can say is this a ... moreyo dude , i myself already asked this question here , and so far no one answered it. they just keep on saying that this rom etc... is good but they cant say whats the difference. i think you should stay in the rom that you have to be safe. for i read in modaco that flashing your omnia to new rom has a possibility of crashing your expensive omnia. till i get an answer to someone who has new rom, that will be the time to think about it.
cheers !!!

Why don't you learn your Omnia phone by reading the manual or asking other people instead of blaming on the phone? Many others are happy users of this phone just like myself.
Likewise, SE X1 which is a also a WM phone, you will also have your own difficulties. So stop Whining!

I have to admit that samsung spent plenty of time thinking about this new product they've just introduced to their customers and I feel confident to give this Omnia i900 a complemantation because I'm using it too, without any remorses. i think I'm gonna change my phone in 2020 now.
