It supports quad-band GSM/EDGE as well as 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA (7.2Mbps) network connectivity, with WiFi thrown in for good measure. Highlights of the Omnia include a large, 3.2-inch WQVGA (240x400 pixel) touchscreen display with stylus support. The display supports auto-rotation for apps and there is a TV-out function for when 3.2-inch just isn't large enough. The i900 Omnia supports many different music and video formats, including Ogg Vorbis music and DivX and Xvid video. An FM radio is also included in case you forget to load up the i900's 8GB internal storage with your favorite music, and you don't have a microSDHC card lying around. Music can be enjoyed with wired or Bluetooth wireless headsets, thanks to the i900's A2DP stereo Bluetooth capability. The Omnia also sports a high-spec camera, as well. The camera uses a 5 megapixel CMOS sensor with an autofocus lens and has such high end features as face and smile detection, image stabilization, wide dynamic range mode, and an automatic panoramic mode. A built-in GPS module with nav and geotagging capabilities is also on-board.The SGH-i900 Omnia uses Samsung's TouchWiz user interface extensions on top of Windows Mobile. This means that users are free to navigate with taps, sweeps, or drags and drops as well as use the built-in optical mouse controller. Text input is handled by an on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard. | | | Features: | |

 Its not worth your hard earned moneyNov 13, 2009
This phone is a joke. After 2 months of using it, the phone ringer wont work at all. I now have to wait until I feel the silent vibration notification that I'm receiving a call. The touch screen feature has a built in time delay so that nothing is real time, you gotta wait for the system to respond; the result is that you end up pushing buttons over and over, which disrupts the system's operation. Amazingly the phone did not come with earphones, so I had to buy those extra. The radio does not work. The dialing feature is clumsy and does not respond properly. The menus are not intuitive. The unit also needs to be soft reset continuously, as it gives you a black screen just in being plugged into the wall. Customer support is a joke. This phone is not worth your money.
 I'm enjoying Samsung i900 OmniaNov 09, 2009
Just be patient while you learn to use it. But then you just enjoy it a lot. It's better than iphone and other smart phones because it has office applications Samsung i900 Omnia Unlocked Phone with 8 GB Memory, 5 MP Camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Windows Mobile 6.1, and MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Black)

Lovely to Look at Terrible to UseOct 11, 2009
I was seduced--by the Omnia. And what a mistake that was.
The good--all of the features that are cited. Yes, they are there.
The bad--virtually everything else.
--I have had an iTouch in my pocket for over a year. I have had the Omnia for 2 months (I just replaced it with a Nokia.) The number of scratches on the Omnia screen compared to the iTouch is appalling.
--In order to make the touch screen compatible as a phone the approach to preventing accidental entries on the screen is a killer for users. Eight button pushes, besides the phone number to access an extension phone.
link.
--I tried to install Windows 7 Beta--the presence of the Omnia on my PC prevented that.
--I tried to install Omnia on the Blue Tooth device in my car. It did not work.
--Mobile 6.1 makes using the Omnia like the good old days of 56K Internet.S L O W
--The need for a stylus, dangling at the side of the phone, means that the touch screen functionality is low. Many of the operations need the stylus unless your fingers have the same dimensions it does.
--Batteries are weak.
--Establishing the link with my PC took hours of coaching from the cell phone provider.
And doing some post-purchase research with personnel at my provider during many service calls had a consistency--when pressed, they all said the Omnia was a dog of a machine.
My advice--buy something else, anything else. In 17 years of cell phone use this is by far as bad as it gets.
 New OmniaAug 19, 2009
It is a great phone, but it has so many features that I decided to sell it, because I prefer a simpler one and it has a disadvantage: I am a big guy with big fingers and I had to use the stylus to enter digits when dialing a call, because if I used my fingers, i dialed the wrong digit, even on the horizontal view. It is more focused for using stylus (witch I dont like, and it does not come inside the phone, but hanging from a lanyard), or for woman with nails.
It is great, but not suited for me.

 Samsung Omnia...what's Latin for "brick"?Aug 09, 2009
I have given this phone 8 months before finally admitting it's the worse handset I have ever owned. 8 months...of resetting, crashing, hanging, fixing .. I doubt I have enough room here to list the problems I have had, so let's think of a few of the more annoying ones, starting with WinMo 6.1 (need I say more)..the fact that syncing music is a nightmare because when you sync 4GB of music the phone "tricks" itself it is full and you can't use the camera ...the Touch Player is only marginally better than the Windows Mobile player..the touch screen sticks or scrolls uncontrollably, the phone/dial screen locks in seconds making it cumbersome to use the keypad in touchtone calls..having to unlock every few seconds, the sms and email notfications decide when they're going to work if at all..the email app seems totally unable to sync with an MS Exchange Server...you have to constantly remove tasks in the task manager to save on battery and processing memory, it doesn't like 3rd party apps or shells...the stylus hanging from the phone without a cradle was bound to break off sometime (and it did)..the animation/rotation has a mind of its own even when you've altered the settings. The clock and alarm apps decide they're only going to work when THEY want to...the Opera app decides it can't run at all because despite what the memory status is telling you , it thinks there is no more memory left...there is much much more..I had a 2G iphone for a year before the iphone was released here and even with the restrictions I had network-wise made that a more functional handset...I did/do not want another iphone because I wanted a phone that had "more features"...but seriously, I cnanot beleive that I haven't yet launched this Omnia into a wall..
