Engadget Mobile Podcast 009 - 02.18.2009: MWC Edition

So we've wrapped up the first two days of Mobile World Congress, and it's about time for a rundown of some of our favorite (and least favorite) things of the show. As usual, we go into the podcast with every intention of getting it done inside of a set time limit, but... well, you know us.

Note: Due to some unforeseen technical difficulties during the recording of the show, we lost one of our two audio tracks, which makes hearing Sean a little tough. (An early failure analysis indicates that it might be instant karma for calling the Idou awesome.) Our apologies!

Hosts: Chris Ziegler and Sean Cooper
Special Guest: Paul Miller
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Music: Solvent - Devices and Strategies (Ghostly International)

Hi,

I disagree that the Omnia HD will be playing second fiddle in the market. Over here in Europe, the Samsung i8510 is enjoying great success and I can see the i8910 doing the same. There aren't many people that buy phones simply because they're S60, that's just the people online. There are, however, normal people who want phones with a bucket-load of features and that is exactly why the i8510 is doing well and why the i8910 will do even better.

Ciao.

I'm confused as to why SE claimed the reason Idou's screen is resistive is because S60 doesn't support capacitive. This is clearly at odds with the OmniaHD, which is S60 and IS capacitive.

I agree. The OmniaHD had better come to the US market... Or else...
