    The Samsung Omnia Anonymous -- 22/04/09

    Pros: Excellent camera with a flash (illuminates well, also works as a flashlight) - equivilant to a good digital camera, good music player, very aesthetically pleasing, multiple keyboard options to suit the user's preference, most suited to those looking for great performance, above average features.
    Cons: Can lag alot, music player may not perform to the standards of cheaper phones, hard for those with big fingers, some parts are not user friendly, runs on windows mobile not like a normal phone, hard to understand due to capabilities, GPS is not that loud...

    Final Comments: The Samsung SGHi900 is definitely more sophisticated than the iPhone, it's competitior. It's features far outweigh those in the same price range.

    I would personally recommend this phone - if you like style, business and pleasure in one.

    I have had my I900 for a couple of weeks. Have found it to be great, does everything that I want and more.

    The good: Full featured phone, PDA, Mini Laptop, Camera, GPS. Way more features and functions then th Iphone,

    The bad: Badly needs a 3.5 standard input jack, the one that comes with the phone is good, but if you loose it, you have to buy another one. The GPS feature will only work after you download and install the software, and at nearly $200us its to bloody expensive

    Great little pda SmartPhone. Comes with Office Mobile (PowerPoint, Word, Excel OneNote) and a full host of features. Really easy to use anywhere, its got alot of basic computer functions and can perform a variety of tasks that one would use a laptop for. The camera, screen and audio are really good quality.

    The good: Quick responsive touch screen, Intuative design, good battery life, quality camera, durable construction, divx, excellent video and audio quality

    The bad: No pre loaded gps spftware, stylus does not have a dock and hangs loose

    The GPS is not working Bad. Johanes Albertino -- 30/07/09

    The GPS is not working Bad.

    Samsung Omnia Windows 6.1 Peter Haslett -- 28/10/09

    The Samsung Omnia is the most frustrating, user unfriendly phone you could use. Having had one for 12 months I can hardly wait to get out of my plan. The scrolling is uncontralllable invariably meaning it takes 4 to 5 sessions to get the number. The side alphabet using the prod usualy puts you into the wrong group ie press B, you come up with C (or D). Having experienced a PDA with Windows I would never have bought this phone if I knew it had the same operating system.
    A smart phone it is not and if you are smart keep awy from it.
