yes, review important...
although in the spec, i8910 wins n97 in terms of processor and ram,
(see here : http://www.phonegg.com/compare/25/Nokia-N9...0-Omnia-HD.html )
have to see how samsung and nokia optimize their phones.

hopefully i8910 wins in the real world.

Wondering how ppl can compare n97 wit i8910. Is like comparing bmw n perdana. Lol. N97 got nothg to compare at all.

ppl got habit of comparing the current highest end model different phone brand to offer, especially between symbian phones.
if u want to say that i8910 is your favourite, then it's ur choice, but u cannot say n97 got nth at all.
n97 got solid flip keyboard, bigger memory, better standby screen widgets and most importantly, its out in the market and in people's hands right now.

So hopefully tomoro got some will load the full set unboxing of Samsung i9010 for us to see.....pretty please...and poison all N97 user to sell off their and buy it....hehehehe

but if u really wan compare really nothg to compare.. for those who like N97 or like Omnia HD is basically all depends on their usage.. what i means is can't compare on the specs.. still can compare on ur usage. Just like why ppl still use the yellow telco although don't have 3G call.

Brief review on the omnia hd. Bought it from samsung shop at Suntec City. They have 2 sets only and I can't bear the wait since 2 months ago. So I "chiong"down and get it. My wait is over but comes at a price....$1098 that is. Sigh..

Pros:
- Fast, fast, fast. I owned IPhone (1st & 2nd gen) and Nokia 5800. But this fella is fast in its
processing. Apps open instantly. Movies are smooth.
- Screen is big and contrast is remarkable.
- Samsung's proprietary media player can play almost all formats except for m4kv.
- Watching movie is really a joy to behold on that omnia HD.
- Bundled with a measly 1Gb micro sd loaded by AGIS NAVFONE map and software
- Call quality good.
- Media browser is unique (tilting to scroll).
- Camera shots are good except in low light condition. But still passable for me.

Cons:
- Heavy. Bulky.
- Build quality plasticky and a fingerprint nightmare esp the back cover.
- Firmware is I8910DXIG1 - old firmware compared to updated G2 for Italy, HK, Malaysia,etc.
- So no fix to audio during high def recording (no aac).
- Music player is quite soft even at max (reminds me of IPhone first gen).
- Widgets are kinda laggy and a coupla times reboot my phone. So I disabled the widgets.
Not a big deal since I do not like samsung widgets (I had the F480, Samsung Star, Omnia
previously too).
- Very limited stuff bundled with a supposedly flagship device. No tv RCA cable as described
by GSMArena. But then it's easy to get one. Only charger, earpiece, usb data cable & CD
for PC Studio 7 (layout looks like Nokia's and does not work properly [unlike Nokia's] )

Overall I like this device.
For guys who can flash firmware, pls help me when you finally get a set. I am still a noobie. Kam-siah.

Hmm not sure $1098 is for 8GB or 16GB...
Reviewer didnt mention this... I hope its 8Gb, at least price is comparable with Msia price...

it's a 16GB one.. so cheapp.. aighh.. Msia one so damn expensiv! $1098 is Sg current most xpensv price one.. some can get less than $1k.

AGREE!!!

...Here we go again...this forum will active this few days bcos of limited stock in the market......Singapore is fine country ......always get a better deal for handphone....price reasonable.....

the screen seems smaller then iphone 3GS,....oh ya,is it faster then iphone 3GS??

no, the screen is BIGGER than iphone , i8910 hd is 3.7'' 1600 AMOLED screen , iphone is 3.5'' 1600 TFT screen , i'm not sure its faster than iphone or not , but the processor for i8910 hd is 1 Ghz.....

wah!! 1Ghz?!?! no la.. 600 MHz only.. after the prototype is out there's a period of time have rumours that Omnia HD will use ARM Cortex 800 MHz but too bad later Samsung decide to use 600 MHz only.. if they use 800 MHz the HD recording with great sound quality is going to be sub sub water only. The ARM Cortex 1Ghz just announce last month la.. not even invent already use meh? lol

did anybody bought already ? or still kastam problem ?

Kastam got prob..bcos no news from FMG.....

i have send email to samsung customer service..so a little update

hi,
sry we cant help u on this because our company haven got this model yet.
sry ..
thx..


^^!!

sigh..... no phone use 3 days already ...... why i want selling my N97 so fast ?

Are you from Cari? Frankly speaking, when they started to mention about having a problem with custom, immediately i smell something fishy already. The best you can hope for is about 1~2weeks time. Good luck waiting.
