Samsung Omnia gets previewed in final form

Arne over at the::unwired has his hands all up on the production version of Samsung's touchtastic Omnia i900, and yeah, it's pretty much official: the Touch Diamond has a solid competitor on its hands. The skinning Sammy's managed to perform here atop Windows Mobile's ancient UI might not be quite on part with the magic that is TouchFLO 3D, but it looks pretty close -- it's still better by leaps and bounds by the default, the transitions are kinda cool, and you're certainly going to want to use it if you're using this phone. Like the GSM version of the Touch Diamond, the Omnia sadly lacks any whiff of North American 3G (for the moment, anyhow), so this video is the closest many otherwise-interested yanks and canucks are going to get.

Yeah, would be nice if a decent phone went to Verizon. I mean the Dare is sick, but we never get any legit phones. Motorola's phones god damn blow.
Give us the omnia!


sucky sucky for omnia!

I'd definitely buy if it was called iPhone and had the Mac OS on it instead of Windows

I'm a Mac user, but I still believe that the HTC Touch diamond kicks the iPhones ASS!

And about that keyboard, it looks a LOT like the keyboard on the Diamond...

i'm a mac user. and i roll windows mobile. i just can't get over apples closed nature. i don't think i should have to jailbreak a phone just to install any app i want on it.

[Chickenatr Posted Jul 28th 2008 1:52PM]

no u don't have to

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 25th 2008 8:02PM]

all i want to know is when is it coming out, how much will this phone cost, and i really hope that this comes over here to t-mobile

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 25th 2008 9:07PM]

Sigh. Sadly us cheap bastards get no love when it comes to phones

[wako Posted Jul 25th 2008 10:37PM]

this phone seems evolutionary rather than revolutionary...


i still think the HTC Touch Diamond is better

[Chickenatr Posted Jul 28th 2008 1:51PM]
