Omnia2 is still a long way off but I8910 is going to launch pretty soon. The main different should be the OS used. I8910 is running on Symbian while Omnia2 should be running on WM (if i'm not mistaken). Personally, i hate WM due to its in-effeciency on managing hardware resource. This cause the unit to run slower and hogging more resource. Symbian is well optimize for handheld device so effectively, it runs smoother and last longer than typical WM device.

Thanks. Looks like waiting for the PalmPre is gonna be a pipe dream for Malaysia, so I'm hoping that the HD comes out soon-ish....

Hmmm, if <3k then still within budget... but now instead of simply being OmniaHD v. PalmPre for me, it's now OmniaHD v. PalmPre v. Jet... Omnia just a li'l to large for me to be completely happy. so many choices!!!

omg! Samsung Jet? how can u compare it with those phones? Samsung Jet suck!! if not mistaken it has no Wi-Fi! wat is a smartphone for these days if without Wi-Fi?

Actually, Jet not really a smartphone. Personally, I'm looking for something that can mainly function as a media player (video more than audio) as much as a phone.... beyond that, so long as I can say run Google Maps & check Gmail is fine by me. Jet is a contender for me mainly because of it's design, size and price. The HD is a beaut, but it's not really as jeans-pocket friendly

The same way I do for my current phone.... do it for the occasional data charges. BTW, from everything I've seen, the Jet does have some sort of WiFi connectivity.

And being Sony, there won't be any native divx/ xvid support... why come up such impressive specs & then not bother supporting common file types? Say what you will about Samsung & LG, but at least they believe in out-of-box convergence....

I can't find a specific Jet thread yet, so...

Samsung Jet full review from GSMarena

Rather positive, & looks like WiFi is a yes as well.... Now, why is this not considered a smartphone?
