The omnia are smartphone, especially Pocket PC Phone with Windows Mobile 6.1 Profesional. I think the main problem is u never use or experience before with smartphone like Omnia. It's a normal for the 1st time. But if u want to be a smart people or never bored with ur phone time by time, then starting to use smartphone(like Omnia).

Using it for 3/4 days. Very frustrating experience. I bought from Singtel, Singapore. The Omnia came with no operating manual. Only a getting started brochure. That has very little details. Searching the net I found their manual. It is 72 pages, but there is not a single picture or diagram and whatever you want to find as a beginner, it is not there. In various reviews on the net, all have praised the phone but I wonder, how they found out how to use the set. For a start, where do you keep the stylus, I spent 10 minutes look through the phone, then found the place to keep it on the casing. I do not know how to start the speaker phone, do audio recording use the widgets properly. There are absolutely no instructions. Even though the phone maybe good. Samsung should produce step-by-step manual (with diagrams) to use all the features. Otherwise it is really a shame and an average user will never be able to use these features!

I read that this gadget does not have stylus compartment. Is it true? It's strange if true.
I believe this is the most wanted gadget that beats the other competitor. Good work to Samsung.

i just talked to sntraders and they told me they not gettin it til end of july so i think samsung has a tight leash on omnia and is waiting for the numbers on the iphone and diamond to come through which is stupid because they can flood the market with omnia while the hype is so high

Since I don't watch videos and all that on my phones, I can't gauge about video playback quality. But in terms of general display, I really don't see much of a difference, despite the N95 having a 16m display.

Hi Jason. The device uses Palm alike Graffiti input stroke. I only tried in English. Not sure if it supports other languages...definitely, not chinese.
But note, it can read Chinese.
As for the button, it can be in potrait or landscape. Not sure how big is the iphone but I find Omnia is ok.
They have a few other type of keyboard input too.

Dear all,
I have a question for someone who has a Samsung i900 all ready: I know it has handwriting recognition, that's what I prefer. But when I will use the keyboard will the letter you touch get bigger as in the iPhone? Aslo, will handwriting recognition work in other languages?
Many thanks indeed for you answers in advance.

Yeah far better than N96 but VGA recording only with 15 fps!?! I was very disappointed when i read this in the review. Hope this will be fixed in the retail units. The only other drawback is the screen resolution- it sucks! It could have been the perfect phone...
