Amazing functions!

Nov 3, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Amazing AMOLED screen, camera and hd camcorder, amazing functions, fast browser
Cons: Applications
Opinion:
In my opinion, this phone encompasses all I ever want in a phone. It has a beautiful big screen that may seem like a handicap to some but in actual fact serves a greater purpose.

The functions are out-of-this-world and I could go on and on about it but we already know the phone's capabilities. The screen's lively and bright. And the images just seem to jump off the phone.

The size might be a turn-off to some but that's precisely why I like it. Watching movies on the phone is a delight with it's big screen.

Yes, it lacks a good application store however I've used the iPhone before and I felt that the apps were really overrated and may seem unnecessary.

Ultimately, I feel that my purchase is justified. And I've never been happier with a phone. What iPhone huh?

 

Don't buy this phone!

Oct 3, 2009

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Big screen, 16GB internal & HD recording.
Cons: Hopless Samsung widgets!
Opinion:
This is just a regular phone covered with a sugar coating. The Samsung widget will slow down your phone. using the widgets & internet browsing - a painful experience. Turn off the widget & this phone will function normally. But what's the point if you own the Omnia HD & can't use it to its full glory.

Its 3.7" screen, 8MP camera, 16GB HD with HD recording probably makeup for its shortcomings.

Don't buy this phone, that's my sweet advice.

 

Excellent Phone

Aug 3, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: See below review
Cons: See below review.
Opinion:
Pros: 8mp camera with HD video recording, good built in mass memory with 16G and can insert Micro SD card up to 16G = 32G of memory for both built in and card, slim despite a big LCD screen, not that heavy for its size, sharp and bright display, superb audio and visual.

Cons: Operating System = Symbian, Office software is not applicable due to licensing software problem, very prone to finger print smudges, camera lense behind no cover. So it's also prone to scratches and not to mentioned the battery cover as well. Since the phone is pretty much expensive, they should have use leather wrapped for the backside of the phone. Good example is Blackberry Bold. A bit difficult when taking photo/video.

In general, the phone I can say is excellent. Actually, the OS Symbian is not that really bad, just that it will confuse you sometimes, thinking that we are using a Nokia phone. The ... Read more

 

Certainly faster than the N97

Jul 8, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Multiple
Cons: Series 60
Opinion:
Would've given it a higher rating if it weren't for the Symbian OS. Those who believe the phone's slow or the N97 is faster, I'd suggest they take a look at the following benchmark comparative:

Symbian not at fault

Jun 10, 2009

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: HD recording
Cons: Slow
Opinion:
It is slow thats a fact but tis not symbian faults..
Besides its juz a prototype maybe the commercial type would be much faster..
If nokia can make their sysmbian OS much faster of the years
why not samsung. Its the interface that samsung wants make iit lag..
If u see vieos of N97 u would notice that old videos of it
will actually see N97 using symbian very slow but the
vids of N97 not as slow as it is. Blame it on SAMSUNG not
SYMBIAN. Perhaps Nokia will get the best while others may
not. Juz like Sony IDOU its pathetic. It uses symbian but its not the latest S60 5th edition. which u can tell from the standby mode. Where nokia 5800 seems to be operating
a newer OS then sony idou which it has not even been
launched...
