HTC Touch Diamond versus Samsung Omnia July 05, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. 3 most popular form factors of Windows Mobile phones are: touch-screen without any keyboard (examples: HTC Touch Diamond, Samsung Omnia), touch-screen with slide-out QWERTY keyboard on the side (not for single-handed usage, examples: HTC Touch Pro, Sony Ericsson Xperia X1), front-facing QWERTY keyboard and touch-screen (examples: Samsung i780, Palm Treo 800w).
If you are interested in the form-factor without physical QWERTY keyboard and with touch-screen only then HTC Touch Diamond and Samsung Omnia are among 2 top models in this form factor and here comes review with several original photos and practical in-depth insight, that will help you to decide: The specs tell the whole story here - the HTC Touch Diamond VGA screen has more than three times the pixel count of the Samsung i900 Omnia wide QVGA unit. What can we say - seeing is believing: the Diamond pulls off a much finer image in some applications. The problem is that a 2.8" screen is a bit too small for VGA to show its full potential. Still, there are plenty of applications where the difference is as tangible as it gets - navigation apps, the web browser, and the gallery just to name a few. Larger size or better resolution - the call is yours Of course, size does matter when it comes to displays, so the 3.2" screen of the Omnia earns a different kind of pat on the back. If only the Diamond had a similar-sized display, it would've made much more of that VGA resolution. To learn more visit comparative review: HTC Touch Diamond versus Samsung i900 Omnia.
