A few kinks but otherwise a very good phone

Apr 6, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Excellent design and build quality, Excellent bundled multimedia package
Cons: lack of styllus slot, low resolution, no 3.5 mm jack
Opinion:
I have been using smartphones for 9 years employing both Symbian and WM OS.
First and foremost, you should have already reconciled with the fact that it has no stylus slot , no 3.5mm jack and no hot swap before purchasing this phone.
Three things that you will appreciate with the Samsung Omnia not well implemented in other phones:
1. Tactile Feedback
2. Fast Response and System Stability
3. Excellent suite of multimedia features

I usually use the Samsung Omnia for medical applications, and large ebook files with the CHM format that would usually take a toll on other PDAs I've used (HTC Touch HD for example).

As a movie and music lover and social networking afficionado, I do appreciate the inclusion of the native easy-to-use touch player which supports multiple codecs, mp3 player, podcast app, FM radio, and Sharephoto app that easily uploads your pics to friendster, facebook, etc.

Most would agree that design is one the main considerations in choosing this phone and if you do want to take that fastidiousness to the next level, then a bluetooth headset is a plus.
