Samsung Omnia i910 Cell Phone
Noah gets some time with the junior member of Samsung's new Omnia Trio: Omnia Lite. Will it come to Verizon eventually? That'd be cool - Samsung Omnia 2, unlocked version, hands-on with Noah from PhoneDog dot com Noah gets a hands-on demo of the new Skyfire browser for Winows Mobile and Symbian phones. Version 0.9 beta adds some cool social, media, and news feed management features along with improved browsing that includes Flash 10 and streaming video support.

Seeqpod.com has long been one of Noah's favorite websites. Why? Because whenever a bad song pops into his head, Seeqpod lets him hear it. Now you can get Seeqpod on your iPhone or Windows Mobile phone, too. Noah gets hands - and ears - on with Seeqpod. Hands-on and in-depth with Samsung's new line of TouchWiz phones. Noah goes in-depth with the Omnia (GSM and Verizon versions), Eternity (AT&T), and Behold (T-Mobile). Check out what makes TouchWiz tick on this new breed of all-touch devices. Q. How does the Pixon differ from the Omnia? Is it just the camera, or is there more to it?
A. Omnia is a Windows Mobile smartphone. Pixon runs a Samsung OS - it's not a full-blown smartphone. Cheers,Noah No where to put your stylus! Noah reviewed two Windows Mobile touchscreen devices, the LG Incite with AT&T and Samsung Omnia with Verizon during our 4th episode of PhoneDog TV. Noah also covered the best and worst of 2008 as reported on the cellular industry in Consumer Reports, news from Nokia World 2008, why he is using the Nokia E71...for now, and everyone's favorite part; live chat! Instead of trying to guess which phones you want Noah to compare, aka PhoneDog DogFights, we figured we'd ask you. Which phones do you want to see battle?
PhoneDog DogFight Poll - Dec. 08 Noah is not happy with the BlackBerry Storm. But he seems to like Samsung's new Omnia and Eternity alright.
More importantly, he's psyched that A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was on TV Tuesday night! Getting into the holiday spirit on this episode of PhoneDog TV the day before Thanksgiving, Noah highlights some of the newest phones including the Omnia i910, Eternity, Storm, and Xperia X1. Also highlighted are special messages of thankfulness from other PhoneDog members as well as our friends from the cellular industry. Hey, Omnia fans. Looks like Samsung and Verizon Wireless have a little holiday treat for you, and it's arriving earlier in the season than previously thought. Samsung Omnia will be available for online pre-ordering on VZW's site beginning tomorrow and for in-store pickups on December 8, a full week ahead of the rumored December 15th release date. The price will be $249, after a $70 rebate, with a 2-year contract.This smartphone may not be the... Pros: Almost everything, namely touchscreen size(!), fast OS, friendly and good GUI. Fantastic video quality (I was sceptical...) Cons: Tad too large for even large phonecases. New ones coming out at manufacturers, though. Finger print and smudge lover. Protective screen helps. Summary: Moving from N95, with 2 teenage iPhoners in at home, this was one of the few phones that had all my requirements (Symbian, GPS, 3G, touchscreen and top usability.) Connectivity, design/ergonomics as well as the OS work together nicely. I must say I totally disagreed with above review until I saw that the review concerned another Omnia, for sure NOT the i8910. (Windows Mobile, as the reviewer himself states...) Too bad a wrongly placed review was helpful to so many people looking for review on a totally different phone. This Omnia i8910 on S60v5 is hopefully the start of a new line of superphones. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: Landscape, Portrait Mode, TOuchWIz Interface,Louder Than the BlackberryStorm (which i previously owned) Easy TO text definitely better than an iPhone Very SLim and Easy To use , Optical Mouse Cons: Finger Print Magnet (but use a screen protector clears that right up) A little slow at times Summary: I love this phone. Its very easy to use and communicate with others. Texting is a breeze compared to past Phones i have had. Would reccommend this phone to anyone who likes good texting loud clear easy phone 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful Pros: Small, light, stylish, good phone sound quality, video camera, business card scanner, pre-installed Opera browser and a excellent large screen! Cons: HORRIBLE Qwerty keyboard that is impossible to use in portrait mode and single digit possible in landscape mode. Stylus needs to have integrated storage instead of the lanyard. Non-responsive touch screen in certain modes. Summary: I had the Samsung Omnia i910 from Verizon for 30 days as a business test user. First reaction was that it was a very nice alternative to the Blackberry Storm and the Apple iPod. Clean and stylish looking, nice Samsung Widget or Today interface and some nice extra features like the 5.0 Mega-Pix camera and video camera with built-in flash, touch screen, and business card scanner. HOWEVER, the main purpose for most business users with a Windows Mobile Smartphone is the ability to keep connected with the office via your e-mail. I quickly found that I missed the physical Qwerty keyboard that I had with my Moto Q and Blackberry World Phone. The virtual touch screen Qwerty keyboard on the Omnia made typing simple e-mails and text messages a very slow and painful task. No point in trying to use the portrait mode keyboard (unless you use the stylus) and the landscape mode Qwerty keyboard is not designed for two-thumb typing. I found that you had to use either your index finger or my little pinky finger ONLY! (Or, use the stylus). Other poor design ideas where the location of the "SEND" button/key on the Qwerty keyboard in relationship to the "SHIFT" button/key. Many times when composing a message I accidentally sent the message incomplete because I was trying to hit the shift key to cap a letter! UGH! Also, you can tell they added the stylus to the design of this phone as an after-thought because of the quality of this touch screen Qwerty keyboard. Its apparent because they would have built an internal storage slot for the pencil-like stylus instead of the silly lanyard string loop cord. Summary: If you are a power e-mail user, then I do not recomend the Samsung Omnia until they improve the design of the Qwerty keyboard. I would stick with the new Samsung Saga (review to come soon as I just got this in replacement to test from the Verizon business rep), the Blackberry devices, the Moto Q9c or the bigger slide-bar devices like the HTC Touch Pro. 12 out of 31 people found this review helpful Pros: 1 Good Camera with mid end flash 2 Responsive Touchscreen 3 Very Good QWERTY keyboard 4 Haptic Feedback 5 Mouse is responsive 6 Good multimedia playback with DivX support 7 Very Large memory ( 16GB ) with microSD slot Cons: Screen is a bit slow resolution Fingerprint magnet No stylus slot Summary: The Samsung Omnia which I've used for 2 months unlocked GSM is overall a very good phone, all the specs and promises Samsung made were true and it is a very powerful device worth considering with great software packaging, stylish, very good battery, good camera and massive memory 10 out of 13 people found this review helpful id say if you wanted something more profession and for work use, a blackberry.
or for fun, or stylish, the omnia. both great phones. i never had a blackberry. i dont know what to get. help me plzzz.
i have verizon and they look like good phone. so can you all help me. it really depends what u want
samsung omnia= touch screen (high rez) no physical qwerty board ... many widgets
Blackbery tour= no touch screen (track ball) but physical qwerty board
my opinion would be to get the tour only cause i personaly like physical qwertys but if u want the omnia u should get it
you could get the best of both worlds by getting the lg env touch well if u can live with out wifi than get the tour it is great. you said you are familar with windows mobile. so if you know and like get omnia. i don't know how good the touch screen is on the omnia. so yeah that is about it. hope this helps so i have narrowed down to the two phones im looking at, the samsung Omnia and BB Tour. I am familiar with WM and i have had several BB, and i loved having BB, but it cold be time to change, so i was wanting to get some opinins on these two phones There is the Samsung Omnia with Verizon. Altough it doesn't have an actual d pad it does have an optical mouse that can act like a d pad. It doesn't have a slide out qwerty board but it does have a virtual one and its screen is slightly smaller. neither. wait for the motorola sholes or the palm pre on verizon. Windows mobile is horrible (Noah Agrees) and therefore the samsung omnia is horrible..... and the dare in the enV touch or voyagerwithout the keyboard so their is no point in getting it because its not a smartphone.... unless a smartphone is not what you want. That is a hard decision i would just be careful with the blackberry cause i have known a few people that have problems with them. i cant decide whether to get the iphone 3g/s , samsung omnia hd or maybe the htc touch hd .... :S:S My samsung glyde has been acting weird so i decided it was time to get a new phone the 2 phones that i like the most are the Samsung Omnia or the Blackberry Storm i like both and i still can't decide.
