Saturday, June 14th, 2008 @ 12:25 am
The Samsung i900 Omnia will be first displayed at the CommunicAsia expo which is in Singapore from June 17th to June 20th even though all the details and specs have been announced.It is based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro and the specs include a 3.2-inch Wide QVGA display (240 x 400 pixels) plus an optical mouse, it offers a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with face and smile detection plus auto-panorama shot, built-in GPS receiver and Geo-tagging, the Samsung i900 Omnia is only 12mm thin with a stunning brushed metal casing that does look hot, the i900 is the same as the iPhone when it comes to storage seeing as it will come in either 8GB and a 16GB versions and will be available with microSD.
The Samsung i900 has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support plus HSDPA 7.2Mbps and like the iPhone it also has the built-in accelerometer and Wi-Fi support, other specs include FM radio with RDS, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), USB port and TouchWiz user interface. Samsung seems to be very confident about their i900 Omnia touch-screen phone. After all, they’ve announced features of the phone around the same time Apple is expected to launch iPhone II. A 5 mega pixels camera isn’t the only reason why the crowd has chosen to dub this Windows-based smart phone an iPhone killer.
review
review by cnet -”Leaked images and specifications have led to much speculation about the new Samsung SGH-i900, a Windows Mobile 6.1 PDA-phone. We had one in our hands for a few brief moments, and bring you this quick and dirty hands-on description.
When we put it beside an iPhone, it was uncanny how similar its shape was to Apple’s product. It’s thicker than the iPhone but shorter in length. In the typical Samsung fashion, the i900 feels solidly built and has a brushed metal finish all around.”
