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.]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-omnia-i910.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-omnia-i910&utm_campaign=PhoneDog1/4/2009 6:21:06 PMPROS1 Good Camera with mid end flash

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]]>http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/samsung-omnia-i910.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-omnia-i910&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/26/2008 5:25:14 AMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-videos/samsung-touchwiz-phones-omnia-eternity-behold-pt-3.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-omnia-i910&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/16/2008 1:45:00 PMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-videos/samsung-touchwiz-phones-omnia-eternity-behold-pt-2.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-omnia-i910&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/15/2008 2:20:00 PMhttp://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-videos/samsung-touchwiz-phones-omnia-eternity-behold-pt-1.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_medium=CellPhone_samsung-omnia-i910&utm_campaign=PhoneDog12/14/2008 4:40:00 PM
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 favorite of every mobile tech reviewer, but just the fact that Verizon didn't scrap the Wifi on it is reason enough to celebrate. The carrier has a long tradition of hobbling native phone features, so this is definitely a welcome change of pace.

A) and WiFI; Windows Mobile and Easy-To-Use TouchWiz UI; Slim, lightweight form factor

Cons: Image quality doesn't live up to camera's specs; TouchWiz not as refined or mature as HTC's TouchFlo 3D; No stylus slot in phone

That other new touchscreen device for Verizon has been grabbing all of the headlines over the past week or so, but big red actually has three new finger-friendly smartphones in their lineup.  While Storm has been featured all over the place and phone geeks have long been awaiting the arrival of VZW's HTC Touch Pro, Samsung's Omnia may actually offer the most appealing blend of style and substance amongst the trio.

Samsung has improved the quality of their resistive touchscreens since the debut of Instinct (Sprint) earlier this year.  Like the company's other new TouchWiz devices - Eternity (AT&T), Behold (T-Mobile) and Delve (Alltel) - Omnia features a bright, clear LCD that's usable via fingertip or with the included stylus. I'm not crazy about the stylus, both because it resembles some sort of makeup applicator (eye liner brush?) and because there's no slot in the phone to store it in.  But I was able to navigate Omnia just fine without it thanks to the combination of that touchscreen and the optical mouse that's been showing up on several of Sammy's newest smartphones.

Samsung loaded Omnia up with some other goodies, including a Podcast catcher, RSS feed reader, and multimedia player with support for DivX video files.  The Verizon version also gains Visual Voicemail and access to the new VZW App Center (an online app store that's very much a work in progress).  I was particularly happy to see that Opera Mobile came pre-installed along with Internet Explorer for a better Web browsing experience.  Opera worked very well on Omnia and Web pages loaded quickly over both EV-DO and WiFi connections.  And while Windows Mobile's Email app isn't the prettiest thing you've ever seen, it's functional and flexible, and the veritable plethora of text input options available on the phone made it easy to dash off Emails and SMS/MMS notes despite the lack of a physical QWERTY board.  Omnia offers a choice of T9, SureType, full vertical QWERTY and full widescreen QWERTY keyboards, along with handwrting recognition.  Between the sheer size of Omnia's display and the optional vibrational feedback, I actually found it easier to type on Omnia than on the new BlackBerry Storm and it's fancy SurePress clickable touchscreen.

 I'd love to see Samsung build TouchWiz out with more widgets, and maybe give their UI a visual overhaul - Samsung's menus just aren't as nice as their competitors', for some reason.  The icons and fonts just don't look as smooth to me as those found on HTC, Apple, or even newer BlackBerry devices.  But Omnia's hardware looks great, and by and large it performed like a champ during my testing.  Omnia's definitely worth a look if you're in the market for a smartphone or sleek touchscreen phone on Verizon.
