Samsung Omnia kind-of launched
June 09, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
Today Apple announces new iPhone(s) so here comes the last, after HTC and several other Taiwanese companies, Windows Mobile manufacturer - this time from Korea - that is releasing announcement about the phone that can compete with iPhone - Samsung!
Samsung has annoying practice to add something non-standard to their phones: Samsung i780 has this annoying optical mouse/touchpad... and newly announced Samsung Omnia (previously known as i900) has non-typical and rather low resolution display of only 240x400 pixels (3.2 times less than HTC Touch Diamond). On top of that they use non-standard (not mini-USB) cable for charging and synchronization, so there is a lot to put up with, if you are interested in a Samsung phone!
Even though nothing is on Samsung's websites about it yet, it looks like Samsung has just launched Samsung Omnia - a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone with some interesting features:
- very good camera: 5 megapixel, face detection, smile detection, image stabilizer (not certain whether it is the better one - optical, or the worse one - digital), auto-focus, geotagging and more
- display: 3.2 inch (big size) and 240x400 pixels (small resolution)
- FM radio
- GPS
- HSDPA 7.2
- 8 or 16 GB of internal memory
- auto-rotation (tilt sensor aka accelerometer ?!)
