    Im a real newbie to phones but Im upgrading and this one seems the best. Only thing is I'm from Australia. I called samsung head office and they said they are not sure if it is even going to be made available in auz. yet. So my question is if I buy one from overseas, like uk or us version, will it work in australia? I have no idea on this stuff. Apologies if this qn seems lame!

    :P

      Why are there 2 versions, HSDPA 2100 for Europe/Asia and HSDPA 850 / 1900 for Americas? I live in the US but travel to Europe, I need a phone that will work world wide!

        Other experience are good.

              it is unlikely that the 16gb will not be seen in the uk at a subsidized price though one of the various commnuications networks phones4u state that the omnia comes in 8 and 16 gb varieties futhermore a recent press release

              (http://press.samsungmobile.com/press.view.do?messageId=201)

              confirms its european release and emphises the two distinct models. with the iphone comming in 8 and 16 gb the omnia will need to compete with its mutimedia capacity i once again state that it is unlikely the uk will not see a 16 gb model. estimation of an end of august release.

              telecommunications companys and mobile telephone vendors will make more money from the lower capacity model as it is cheeper for them to buy and its selling price is lower so more people will buy, thus their profit margin is higher the 16 gb model will only be sold once there is a need for companys to market it against competitors.

                      I do not understand. I live in the states, i have a k850i with AT&T and 3G works just fine.

                        Just gleaned the following from www.tracyandmatt.co.uk:

                        "Today I heard some news though, that comes as something of a disappointment. Apparently Samsung are not going to release the 16GB version of the Omnia in the UK, only the 8GB version.

                        We now have official pricing for the 8GB unit. It will be £399 + VAT, with first stock arriving 18th August."

                        So there you have it if you're waiting for the Omnia in the UK - can't believe they're not releasing the 16GB version. Let's hope they're not going to do the favourite trick of record companies and six months down the line release it with extra tracks i.e. extra memory. Wouldn't put it past them......

                                Samsung Instinct has less memory, has no Wifi and camera is only 2 megapixel. It also has no windows means limited 3rd party applications. It also has very less internal memory.

                                The thing where Instinct is better is in playing TV.

                                From the looks, IMO omnia is better

                                  Samsung will not yet say when this phone will be available in The Netherlands. They are waiting for a big market campaign. When this is ready the phone will be lanced, so Samsung told me. But they expect it will not take a long time any more.
