so this is my part of
the phone's review.

i've tried the phone in samsung's
flagship shop in VIVO CITY as well
from my cousin. (she's using omnia)

the first thing that attracted mE was the
simplicity-zen-look.

INTRODUCTION

Translated from Greek, the name of Samsung’s
new model means “everything” and its main
purpose is to fully satisfy the needs of
the modern cell phone user. This is a phone
with a unique combination of characteristics
such as 5-megapixel camera, large touch
display and GPS, taking advantage of the
Windows Mobile 6.1 platform. In addition,
this is the first device with a built-in
support of not only DivX, but XviD video.

the first thing that i usually look for
would be the design of the phone. first
impression do count right?
=)


DESIGN

Nowadays, the design is everything. Even a
very good product would quickly be
forgotten if it doesn’t come in a shiny
package. Luckily, OMNIA is well prepared
in this aspect. It is one of the most
attractive Windows Mobile devices.

The display is 3.2 inch one, which makes it
comparable to the famous iPhone.
Unfortunately, resolution wise, it is
behind the leaders. We think that WVGA would
suit it much better, compared to the 240X400
it has now. Nevertheless, the screen offers
good image quality, but we have a few remarks
regarding the colors, which have a light
yellow hue. It is almost impossible to use
it in direct sunlight, which is a big
drawback. We have nothing to say about the
sensitivity, even though Apple’s baby is
still far ahead. Every touch is accompanied
by a gentle vibration, no matter if you
have activated any function and often,
that could mislead you if you have tapped
the wrong place. In addition, you have an
extremely fashionable stylus at your disposal,
which could be easily replaced by any object.

The only objects on the front are two large
andrelatively easy to press hardware buttons
(Send/End keys) and an “optical” mouse, like
in Samsung i780. When the virtual cursor is
not active, it the mouse has the role of a
D-pad and you have to run your finger in
the direction desired. Overall, this
alternative input method is good, but you'll
never feel a need to use it while operating
the phone.

The rest of the hardware buttons are on the
right side. All of them have a decent size
and are easily felt once pressed, which
makes them user-friendly. On top of that,
they have multiple functions. When held, the
button for entering the main menu activates
the Task switcher. By using the key for
turning the volume up, you can switch on
the zoom, no matter which menu you are in.
Pressing the camera “trigger” one time leads
to the gallery. Even though it is not
revolutionary, we have to congratulate
Samsung for the realization of the idea.

Multifunctionality is the way!


The opposite side houses the strap “hook”
for accessories and the charger connector.
To our regret, the last one is not a standard
miniUSB, which is more popular since it is
used in various electronic devices and could,
for example, save you the purchase of a
separate cable for the phone and for the camera.
On top, we have the small and hard to press
power button, accompanied by the one for hardware
restart, which is accessible only with a stylus.


On the back, we find the 5-megapixel camera
with flash. To get to the microSD slot,
you’ll have to remove the battery lid.
In contrast to the one we saw in the prototype,
which looked like rubber-coated, now, it
resembles polished metal. It looks good,
but we think that a metal surface would suit
the device better.

Despite OMNIA’s beautiful appearance,
we don’t think that’s its most attractive asset.
For an all-in-one device, the user-friendly
interface and the rich multimedia functionality
are of more importance.
