Samsung Omnia comes to India

ADVERTISEMENTS

Samsung launched its fully-loaded handset, Samsung Omnia (SGH-i900), in the Indian market recently. A touch phone that features Samsung’s patented TouchWiz user interface is a stylish and fully loaded handset that could be tough competition to some HTC touch phones.

Specs:

• High resolution screen

• 3.2-inch WQVGA LCD screen

• On-screen QWERTY keyboard

• Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system

• MS Office documents such as PowerPoint, Excel and Word

• Outlook Express

• 12.5-mm

• 16 GB Internal Memory

• 16 GB microSD card from Sandisk

Features:

• Dedicated dome key to control communications

• DivX, Xvid and other video formats

• GPS

• Geo-tagging

• 5 megapixel CMOS camera

• Auto-focus (AF), face detection, smile detection and auto-panorama shot

Announcing the launch of Samsung Omnia, Sunil Dutt, Country Head-Samsung Telecom, said, “Samsung Omnia is our flagship model aimed  at users who desire  a lot of functionality, a lot of style, a lot of usability and a lot of entertainment in one innovative device. Samsung Omnia  will help users to be at the forefront of work and play and at the same time, to stay connected anytime, anywhere”.

Price:

Rs. 39,999 (32 GB Memory) and Rs. 37,999 (24 GB Memory)

That’s a whopping amount for Indian buyers and surely the handset will find few takers in the hi-tech & hi cost market segment.

   Bought both iPhone and samsung omnia(due to much hype only) decided to return this samsung crap.
   already spoke to retaile, he agreed for 15% restocking fees.

   Go and check iPhone & Samsung omnia side by side, you will see samsung omnia ’stouch screen is big joke

   Also iPhone beats samsung’s multimedia capabilites by 100000 miles.
   pratical example : copy .wmv fvideo ile on omnia and play , you will laugh, it plays like photo slide show.

   Actually I was sold on Omnia’s camera, camera is certainly better than iPhone.

   NOTE : Before commenting just play with both the phones.

   I have this phone since last 2 months. I bought it from Singapore. This is the real Iphone Killer. I have iphone since January 2008.
   Frankly Speaking, People are used to use touch screen with their fingers. But Samsung is nail touch screen. You cannot compare both if u use either on their touch screen.

   Feature wise, samsung is just the complete package. You dont need to look anything else… there is no comparison between iphone and omnia. both are built on different platform. iphone is purely for entertaining and funky users. But Samsung Omnia is for serious high-end users..

   Hats off to both the handsets.
