Samsung i900 Omnia review: The whole nine yards
Now that the dust of the Diamond vs. Omnia PocketPC battle settles down, our up close and personal look at the rivals continues with Samsung i900 Omnia. Slick looks, great feature-pack and ingenious software solutions are things that hold true...

It is just available for developers, OEM, etc. So you can't just install it. It has to be supplied with the phone or the browser (opera).
There is a internet explorer installed on every WinMo, but honestly... it sucks! Opera is much more comfortable to use. And as it doesn't come with the flash plugin, it wouldn't help you at that matter either.

Very good review GSMArena team! Well done!
The device looks very promising indeed.
Personally I'm not that worried about the screen. Of course it could be better! But the down side is a worse battery life. On my PDA (about four years old now) I have a screen resolution of 240*320, 65k colours. This is acceptable. Could be better, but it is well acceptable. So I'm quit sure the Samsung Omnia i900 will be my next device!

[The Samsung Omnia also offers nice touch feedback when you touch the screen. The Omnia vibrates shortly to confirm every key press. Unfortunately, the haptic feedback doesn't always mean your key press was actually accepted and the command is being run.]
Anyone know if you can turn this off?

Finally a decent and justifiable review. The Diamond vs Omnia article should be reviewed.

If it wouldn't have been for the terrible resolution, I would have bought/waited-for this over diamond.

"We think that "balanced" is the key word here as the major competitors - the HTC Touch Diamond and the iPhone 3G - seem to offer more in some respects but severely fall behind in others."
This line says it all. I guess it is very clear Omnia is the best. Great review!

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-07-25 23:41 from PnY5Yeah I agree, Phone looke phenomenal but I'm a little worried the resolution will have issues with my Navigation software. Still worth the risk though, and I guess if it doesnt work I'll send it back and get the Innov8.....
Oh, great review btw. Cheers GSMArena
