The Samsung i900 Omnia is an awesome phone and just so you know we have not been sent this handset for review, we had to have a play with an handset in a store. Hopefully Samsung will send us one and only then can we give you our full hands-on review.
After playing with the phone for a while in the store we came to a conclusion that this mobile phone has what it takes to beat the big boys, ok personally the touchscreen is not as responsive as the iPhone but still pretty good. You get a cool 8GB of internal memory which is fantastic and the 5MP camera is another added benefit, and yes much better than the 2MP you will find on the iPhone.
We will not go into full details here, we will wait for Samsung to send us one of these handsets and then we will give it the full hands-on review, in the meantime please check out the full specifications and images below. Don’t forget to comment, we value your opinions.
