INTRODUCTION

The Samsung SGH-i900, also known as Omnia or WiTu (in Russia only), is a new mobile phone being released by Samsung Mobile. Announced in June 2008, the Omnia was launched in Singapore in mid-June, available in stores on the 20th, and in the rest of Asia in July. For some parts of Europe, it was launched in August. The North American version launched in December through Verizon Wireless.

Based on the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, this phone is Samsung's attempt to cash in on the new touchscreen mobile phone market, where phones like the iPhone and HTC Touch Diamond have already made a strong presence. The phone was expected to retail in the U.K. market for around £500 on its release.

The Samsung Omnia comes with the following applications preinstalled to make its GUI and its functions distinguishable from other Windows Mobile 6–based smartphones:

* Samsung Today Screen 1 (alternative home screen UI)
* Samsung Today Screen 2 (similiar to Samsung Today Screen 1)
* Samsung Touch Wiz UI (alternative application menu with a widget bar and widgets)

All these applications have the ability to be controlled by sliding the finger across the screen. The third Today Screen has gained interest because of its control method. It uses about a fourth of the screen on the left side to hold a bar of widgets that can be scrolled up and down. The rest of the screen is customizable, as widgets can be pulled out of the sidebar and onto the main screen to be expanded for quick use.

The telephone's marketing campaign was noteworthy because of an attempt viral video posted on YouTube where unboxing the phone leads to a parade of tiny people accompanied by a fanfare presenting the phone.

Korean edition (T*Omnia)

SK Telecom and Samsung announced a Korean edition of Samsung Omnia, T*Omnia or SCH-M490. T is a brand name marketed by SK Telecom. The hardware has been upgraded to have a 3.3-inch Wide VGA(800*480) LCD and a PXA312 CPU that automatically overclocks up to 806 Mhz. An S-DMB tuner has replaced the TV-out and FM tuner. The 4 GB version(SCH-M490) is priced at KRW 968,000, and the 16 GB(SCH-M495) at KRW 1,078,000 including 10% VAT.

Japanese edition (930SC)

In Japan, SoftBank Mobile announced that the Samsung Omnia will be sold as 930SC in November 2008. However, it adopted the proprietary operating system instead of Windows Mobile. It has a 3.3-inch Wide VGA LCD and 1seg tuner, but GPS has been excluded. It is also available for SoftBank Mobile's own mobile Internet service.

North American edition (SGH-i910)

The Samsung Omnia has been released under the version name SGH-i910 in North America, with Verizon Wireless as the network operator. The SGH-i910 has a speaker on the back and also has added CDMA and also left the GSM radio for roaming. The SGH-i910 also has no front-facing camera. The SGH-i910 still runs Windows Mobile 6.1 along with some added software such as Visual Voicemail. All other features stay the same as the SGH-i900.The North American version of the phone uses the same 624MHz chip used by other versions. This has been confirmed by numerous North American users through the "settings" menu on the Omnia.

"shoot like a pro" this pic i don't think is suitable, because omnia camera is the most disappointed thing to me  sad.gif 

nokia 5MP phone all better than omnia i guess  doh.gif  (nokia 6220c is definitely better)
*
IMO omnia camera not dat bad..
u juz need to do some tweaking setting for example contrast, saturation, sharpness, white balance and ISO..
dats y it said "shoot like pro" cuz pro photographer always play wif camera setting to get nice quality picture tongue.gif

QUOTE(Zack Styler @ Oct 15 2009, 09:58 PM)
Just to ask how long does it takes to flash a rom?
*
depend on which rom u are flashing..
if lite rom it should take 5~10 minutes..

official DXIA5 almost 20 minutes i think..

Actually for me I think OMNIA camera is an advantage just depend on how u use it and set it.
WDR, Contrast...
and it special effect not others phone camera can fight.
it auto focus can shoot picture like DSLR which front clear back blur.
base on the price of OMNIA with similiar spec phone, it still worth.

nokia maybe have more stable camera, but it never had a device that contain all function together.

ps: this picture actually is taken from Windows Official website for OMNIA.

its called bokeh tongue.gif

QUOTE(Ah hao @ Oct 15 2009, 11:12 PM)
but when in auto mode (normally use phone take pic in auto mode rite ? ohmy.gif ) , it always over exposure (when in direct sunlight) and the screen totally cannot see, tats y i feel the camera is lousy doh.gif  doh.gif 

and the pic is not sharp as compare to nokia 6220c sweat.gif

and when in dark area the pic lagi teruk rclxub.gif

btw, wat is WDR ???
*
WDR = Wide Dynamic Range...
