CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Full range of wireless features; haptic feedback; improved text input methods; navigation software included; attractive design; excellent battery life; Opera 9.5 browser included. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: Some apps may not work properly; finger scrolling not consistently implemented; use of microSD slot requires battery removal; no stylus slot.
The bottom line: The Omnia is a good alternative to the HTC Touch Diamond with a competitive price and a truckload of features, though Samsung does need to work on the interface to improve its consistency and usefulness.

Excellent phone since I used the windows platform phone.
May 2, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Good graphic and user friendly. Camera works perfectly.
Cons: Touch screen need to impeove. Touchpad doesn't work that good.
Opinion:
Overall it's a perfect windows platform phone with camera that works perfectly good. Don't have to carry any extra camera or mp3/mp4 player. Touch player need sound management such as equaliser to improve listening thru headphone. Need improvement on the touch screen/touchpad. Lastly it's a excellent phone.
A few kinks but otherwise a very good phone

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 ... Read more
Mouse function on SGH-I900
Mar 19, 2009Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Easy Web Surfing
Cons: enough to close to Mouse
Opinion:
One of latest feature of smart phone which is web surfing.
Everyone experienced with web browsing with several smart phone in previous. But there was analog 4-way button to browse web site from mobile phone. There would be needs of delicate click and easy scroll to browsing web page.
SGH-I900 has a feature called as "Optical Joystick" which performs as exact PC-Mouse like on mobile. IT has 4-way feature mode and general mouse moving setting. Along with mouse mode set, it is much nicer and smooth web browsing.
Touch has limitation of clicking or selecting icon, even in typing letter it is quite high error of input. Everyone experienced with mouse to use web browsing on PC envrionment. It is most closed function for easier browse.
