Samsung's i900 Omnia spotted with white battery cover

We can't really vituperate the i900 Omnia's standard looks, but we must say, this thing looks striking in white. Yeah, it's only the back panel (read: battery cover) getting the makeover, but word on the street has it that this thing will actually be offered in white (with the obligatory wavy pattern) in at least some regions of the world. So, what say you? Is this the model that now has your eye? Or does the original still do it for you?

lol by the time this is released the new iPhone will come out to blow it away. Oh and btw, it will be 32 gb. :)

[slamEVIL Posted Aug 6th 2008 2:20PM]

the omnia is available RIGHT NOW. in fact, it was released more than a month before the iphone. sooooooo maybe NEXT year when that 32gb iphone of yours is released, this one will have 64gb. you know apple...foward thinking.

Curses SuperSexyErik (^_^)! You've foiled me again...NOT. Ummm seems like I just read the latest firmware broke iTunes access with a (dare I say it) "error code".

Broke phone much? That's a child's phone. You wanna die with a MAN's phone (HTC).

Or this phone. I had the Instinct briefly and it was flawed but Samsung's moving in the right direction I think. The Omnia may be it.

"Apple Vs HTC iPhone Vs Touch Diamond"

um yeah, that's a review i'll trust.

and there folks we have our proof that anti-apple fanboys will keep denying apple's excellence just cuz they have their mind set on it. they will never open their minds to the greater product. not our problem tho, cuz we own the amazing iphone :)

does htc have over a thousand applications gathered into an easy to use store... noo..

does it run a full OS? no.. it runs flaky winmo 6.1

is it backed by over 25.000 developers? no..

i dont see what your into it for.

copy/paste + gps? i dare you to mention it, cuz apple is working on it as we speak :)

[slamEVIL Posted Aug 6th 2008 3:58PM]

LMFAO!!!!

do you see all those crappy apps? lmao lmao. you have to go to a website to get yours?? try some real stuff sometime :)


http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/

[slamEVIL Posted Aug 6th 2008 10:28PM]

you have to install proprietary software to get yours? ok let's see what the appstore has... six different bibles, nine weather applications, iflip the coin - hey, that one's only a dollar! hmmm, those aren't crappy at all.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 7th 2008 2:52AM]

i fail to see your point? i think your point is that you don't have one, and that your argument was lost when the app store ran it over. good day :)

Omnia over Diamond:
Bigger, though lower-res display (3.2", 240 x 400 pixels)
Has a better, more solid build and finish
Almost double battery life
Better CPU performance (by a nice margin according to software benchmarks)
Quad-band GSM support (Diamond has two versions to cover all the four bands)
microSD card slot (Diamond has none)
8 or 16 GB of storage memory (Diamond has 4GB)
Much better 5 megapixel camera (better processing, higher resolution, face and smile detection, geotagging)
TV-out (Diamond lacks that)
Landscape QWERTY keyboard (Diamond has one but only in browser)
Auto screen rotation is available in all applications and can be switched off
Comes with DivX video support (Diamond has none, but DivX players can be installed)
Has pre-installed a custom Alarms app, a Video editor and a unit converter
