Hi everyone,

An offer by the credit card company has just dropped in my mail for Samsung Omnia at the price of RM2699 over 12 instalments of RM240 each.

Now i have been using my Dopod 818 pro for over 2 yrs and i am looking for a replacement for it. In view of the Credit card promo, i am a seriously considering samsung omnia.

After reading GSM arena, my conclusion is that compared to similar phone of similar price e.g. Iphone, Iphone has the better inferface and useability whereas Omnia is better in terms of function. So my question is the price offered worth it? And would i miss iphone for its interface?

It is actually cool to have an omnia when the whole world has iphone...

let me knnow ya?

It is 16gb according to their website here http://www.hlb.com.my/pfs/promo/dec08/pri_...g.jsp?s=ccpromo.

Some one just opened another thread asking which of Xperia, Omnia or Iphone is better and the input is Xperia....What's the Omnia guru's take on it?

Ha ha , that means I asked in the wrong thread?

Not really, cause i want to see how Omnia owners defend it. Choosing a new phone is such a headache sometimes.

BTW, where are these other retailers that has a 24 month installment plan? Can give specific examples besides telling me to look for ones with the installment plan stickers? Say like Carrefour?

Anyway any other input? the 16gb hard disk and nice form factors are really pulling factors. The only thing is the price....

Thanks for fellow owners input. However, I am still not any closer to make a decision. In the end, I will forget about it and move on to the next desirable phone.

But then again, its nearly time to change my phone and it will be a phone for the next one or two years and Omnia seems to be the jack of all trade.

Can anyone comment on the price? I seen the web (lelong, mudah) that Omnia is going for around 2k to 2.2k depending on hard disk size. If 2.7k is reasonable for 16gb omnia from authorised dealer, than it would be an easier choice for me.

Hey fellows,

I had a play of Omnia last weekend at Low Yat. I found that the IU is not as smooth as the reviews make out. But incidentally I was looking at my friends Iphone (3G) which was much smoother and what not.

So? 2.7k is still a lot for any phone. Is it worth it for all the things that Iphone can't do?
