Product Description
| Meaning "everything" in Latin and "wish" in Arabic, the Omnia from Samsung is designed to provide business users with stylish multimedia capabilities and personal mobile users with simple access to business based functions. This touchscreen-enabled phone has a large, brightly colorful 3.2 inch screen, and it includes Samsung's intuitive and easily customizable TouchWiz user interface. Other features include 8 GB of internal memory, a built-in GPS receiver, 5-megapixel camera, multi-format digital audio player, Bluetooth for handsfree communication and stereo music streaming, MicroSD memory expansion, video output to your TV, and up to 5.8 hours of talk time.
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. When paired with a compatible 3G network that uses WCDMA 2100 MHz connectivity (found in Europe and Asia), you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In the United States and foreign territories where 2100 MHz 3G networks are not available, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility). Phone Features
Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server. The 5-megapixel autofocus camera sports a 4x digital zoom, flash, face detection, 15 shooting modes (from sports to sunset), ISO settings, and many more advanced functions. It also captures video clips (length determined by available memory), which can be displayed on external TVs and monitors using the phone's TV output capabilities. You can also edit videos on the Omnia, with functions such as trimming, audio dubbing, and subtitles. The digital audio play provides a wide range of format compatibilities (MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC+), and the video player offers multi-codec support for DivX, Xvid and other video formats, eliminating the hassle of file format conversions. It also comes with an FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations). Other features include:
Vital Statistics
Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.1 offers a number of handy features that make searching through email, editing Microsoft Office documents, and staying on top of your most important communications even easier. Emails can now be viewed in their original rich HTML format and now offer the ability to visit embedded links. It also includes Windows Live for Windows Mobile, which provides a full set of Windows Live services, such as the Windows Live Messenger IM application, which now enables you to chat with more than one person at one time or send a file. With Windows Mobile 6.1, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite. You'll be able to neatly view, navigate and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in their original formatting--without affecting tables, images or text--as well as view PowerPoint presentations.

OMNIA, A GREAT TOUCHSCREEN PHONE WITH LOTS OF FEATURES |
| Review Date: December 11, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Hector Arias, Katy, TX |
| I am glad I bought this phone. I fell in love with it since I got it out of the box.
PROS: * Slim design, executive look * Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (great improvement) * AGPS. 100% accurate when you choose My Location. Associated with google maps is an A+. (Why pay for something that is already part of the phone...That goes for you VERIZON!!!!). * Opera Browser works great (sorry Internet Explorer) * Touchscreen is very responsive (if you do not want screen to vibrate, you can disable it in SETTINGS. * Stylus, I do not use it. my fingers do the job excellent. * Push E-Mail. I get all my emails from work, POP accounts, Gmail, (which is already integrated in the phone), and of course windows live messenger. * Video player is very good, good resolution, great audio. (One thing I dicovered today is that I can listen to Internet radio, WOW!!) * My 5 Faves...NOT REALLY, but keep reading, (in this case 4 faves, yes, one of the widgets lets you add 4 people you call the most just like my five faves.) I am using my Omnia with T-mobile and this came very handy.) * Microsoft Office, YES! you have Excel, Word, Power Point. All 3 are mobile version, you can read and edit any documents as you wish. you also can read .pdf files, isn't that something?? you will love this phone. CONS: * I personaly, don't have any negative comments on this phone, but I will mention one that I know bothers some people out there, that is: NO 3G Network compatibility in the USA. This phone was made exclusively for Asia and Europe and their 3G works on a different band. But I tell you one thing, Internet over EDGE is very good, so I really don't care at all about 3G speed. So keep this in mind....NO 3G in the USA. Over All, this is a great phone. you will have to take your time to play with it to find all its features and how to make them work for you. Don't get frustrated if you don't get it to work the way you want the first time. It took me a good week to figure this phone out and now I am very excited I chose this phone. Iphone is a thing of the past, which I never had but my friends have it and some of them are not too happy with it, plus, they got stuck in a contract. Here you don't have to do that. Thank you SAMSUNG for this phone. I have include this link called Omnia i900 - The Whole Nine Yards This will make you take a final decision to get this phone or not. Hope it helps, like it helped me to get this phone http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i900_omnia-review-267.php Thanks! and let me know what you think. |

Great phone! |
| Review Date: December 28, 2009 |
| Reviewer: John D., Guyana |
| So far phone works perfectly. Crashed a few times, but nothing a reset didn't fix and there was no data loss.
Only issue I have with this phone is that you'll need to find a better 3rd party GPS that works without the internet since I don't have a data plan in my country for the phone, so getting the internet all the time can be expensive. If you have an unlimited data plan then you wont have anything to worry about. All features on the phone work well. The Samsung keyboard took a little getting used to since it had XT9 but once you figure out how to disable it then you'll be fine since having word completion can be a bit annoying at times. The Transcriber feature is really good, but there should have been a way to do a test(calibration) so that it can learn to recognise your handwriting since everyone's is different. The finger mouse feature is nice for one handed use, so that would come in handy for most users who multitask. I personally think this is a great phone for anyone who, like myself, loves alot of functionality and features. This is a great phone for the price and has all if not more of the features of the high-end, high priced phones in the $800-900 range. At the time I bought this I had issues with the 3rd party seller with shipping to an address and the apt number was missing and they refunded me within a few days, I would advise all users to make their purchase directly from Amazon since their service is more superior than some 3rd party buyers. Another thing to note is that I purchased the 8GB from the 3rd party at $399.99 but after being refunded I decided to go for the 16GB that was being sold by Amazon with better shipping prices (including the Free Supersaver Shipping) for only $402. I hope you do consider buying this phone since it's a great investment for any of you looking to have fun and functionality together in a phone. |

| Review Date: March 9, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Carlos Hernandez, Guatemala |
| I'll start by saying I'm happy with this phone, it does have good looks, works great as a PDA, but need some work as a phone. In short:
Pros 1. Camera (with smiley option :) ) 2. GPS 3. Radio (with save feature) 4. Touchscreen Cons 1. The caller id shows who is calling, but why does it has to be so small when u have this neat big screen 2. I already lost my stylus, it shouldn't be that hard to find a place to put it, the HTC already solved it. Overall the hardware is great, but the software needs some work. |
