great device but some serious shortfalls
I decided to stay with Verizon instead of switching to ATT to go with the Apple Iphone.
I am an early adapter, I picked my omnia over the blackberry storm when both…

Un buen telefeno mal fabricado
Este telefono es precioso en cuanto a su diseño (muy delgado y elegante), sus funciones y programas son muy utiles. En fin me encanta su funcionalidad y diseño.

I am glad I bought this phone. I fell in love with it since I got it out of the box.
PROS:
* Slim design, executive look
* Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (great improvement)
* AGPS. 100% accurate when you choose My Location. Associated with
google maps is an A+. (Why pay for something that is already part of the
phone…That goes for you VERIZON!!!!).
* Opera Browser works great (sorry Internet Explorer)
* Touchscreen is very responsive (if you do not want screen to vibrate,
you can disable it in SETTINGS.
* Stylus, I do not use it. my fingers do the job excellent.
* Push E-Mail. I get all my emails from work, POP accounts, Gmail, (which
is already integrated in the phone), and of course windows live
messenger.
* Video player is very good, good resolution, great audio. (One thing
I dicovered today is that I can listen to Internet radio, WOW!!)
* My 5 Faves…NOT REALLY, but keep reading, (in this case 4 faves, yes, one of the widgets lets you add 4
people you call the most just like my five faves.) I am using my Omnia
with T-mobile and this came very handy.)
* Microsoft Office, YES! you have Excel, Word, Power Point. All 3 are
mobile version, you can read and edit any documents as you wish. you
also can read .pdf files, isn’t that something?? you will love this
phone.
CONS:
* I personaly, don’t have any negative comments on this phone, but I will
mention one that I know bothers some people out there, that is:
NO 3G Network compatibility in the USA. This phone was made exclusively
for Asia and Europe and their 3G works on a different band. But I tell
you one thing, Internet over EDGE is very good, so I really don’t care
at all about 3G speed. So keep this in mind….NO 3G in the USA.
Over All, this is a great phone. you will have to take your time to play with it to find all its features and how to make them work for you. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t get it to work the way you want the first time. It took me a good week to figure this phone out and now I am very excited I chose this phone. Iphone is a thing of the past, which I never had but my friends have it and some of them are not too happy with it, plus, they got stuck in a contract. Here you don’t have to do that.
Thank you SAMSUNG for this phone.
I have include this link called Omnia i900 – The Whole Nine Yards
This will make you take a final decision to get this phone or not.
Hope it helps, like it helped me to get this phone

Good PDA
I’ll start by saying I’m happy with this phone, it does have good looks, works great as a PDA, but need some work as a phone. In short:
Pros

If you want to be dissapointed, purchase this phone.
The Samsung Omnia is a major disappointment. Let’s go over all the things this phone does wrong.
1) Touchscreen – There is only vibration feedback when using the…

First, I bought this phone thinking that it would resolve the problems I was having with my treo 750…HA! It has created more problems than solutions. Touch screen doesn’t respond as you would expect and as stated in other reviews the widgets are small and sometimes hard to manage.
I was so excited to get this phone, windows mobile 6, great internet, email, on and on. It states in the phone review that this phone is compatable with microsoft voice command. That isn’t the case, at least not for my i900. I used voice command with my treo 750 and it worked great so I just assumed it would work with the i900…it does not. So while you can receive calls thru the blue tooth headset, you can not make a call and that is huge for me. This is definitely a big negative.
It won’t send picture messages as advertised, at least not with T-mobile. Texting and email work fine. If the email is set up correctly thru your phone service it works great and you can either receive emails automatically, set it up to retrieve them every few hours or get them when manually requested .
I guess that if I had done a better job of researching the pros and cons of purchasing a phone made in Asia, I might have waited. You won’t get any help from Samsung USA as they just give you the excuse that since the phone is European, they do not support it in the US. As a matter of fact, you get that excuse almost anywhere you turn for support.

i900 omnia inputs
The phone has a few issues with the plasma screen if the sun is around the screen can’t be seen. The signal is kind of weak but that could be a regional problem.

23 more months. I too have a Samsung Omnia. As you read the reviews everyone sings the praises of all the “features” of this phone. I bought this phone for 2 things- to take and make cell calls and to access Excel spreadsheets when I’m in the field.
Load up a spread sheet and you can see 2-3 rows and 2-3 columns which is fine until the data is spread out over 4-6 rows/columns. Guess I’ll keep toting my laptop.
Now the calls – you want to put the call on speaker? First you have to hit the little mouse pad to remove the stupid black box, then hit the speaker button -Oh, I’m sorry did I lose the call?
Did you miss a call? I don’t know. First you have to pick up the phone – shake it repeatedly to switch back to portrait, enter your security code then you may see a box that tells you a phone number. Does it tell you what time or if they left a voice mail – no that would be too convenient.
If you are thinking it may be time to upgrade your phone I strongly recommend you go into the providers store and get a “hands-on” experience because it may just turn out the phone doesn’t do the simple things. 23 more months, sigh.
