interested to get one for my fire, choosing between this and omnia, I tested Omnia the camera has anti hand shake function, I don't know how about Xperia? and the video recording quality?
my relative got omnia too..
cant compete both device head to head.. both got totally different role but of cause omnia i would say quite bad if compare to xperia.
firstly, omnia got 5MP camera, laggy VGA recording, smooth movie playback n bla bla bla.. that is the only good point compare to xperia.
xperia got much more customizable platform which using Qualcomm and tons of 3rd party rom and u able to enjoy latest beta ASAP.
xperia got hardware keyboard, got much much more sensitive GPS chipset, small screen but much more pixel packed in (omnia cant surf internet caz when zoom out all words look super blur). xperia got good resolution 800x480 which most of the device using this resolution n tat mean much more software compatible with it. Omnia got super weird 320x400 resolution. even a wallpaper will trouble u to find online.
xperia got touch focus features for camera which produce much better effect on photo but omnia got little bit better pics quality n anti-shake is better. but on 3" or 3.2", looks no different. Omnia got VGA recording, but super laggy thou. only recordable at QVGA.
omnia is much harder to be flash 3rd party rom. xperia got better multimedia features. xperia got 3.5mm jack and standard usb port which ease everything. i lost my omnia usb cable! i cant even found it around! very stupid! bundled headphone was lousy as cheapo RM10 earphone!
then slim design and slippery design of omnia is super bad. cant even hold it properly. omnia is plastic build mostly. so plastic feel can be expected.
n worst is HERE! Omnia touch screen is the WORST i ever use!! it cant detect any finger at all.. either u must use stylus or fingernail, while xperia detect finger print easily.
besides, GPS of omnia. doesnt allow the use of mapking. u nid additional software to virtualise the port com9 then only able to use mapking. no problem for garmin thou. GPS of omnia wont get fixed unless u stop ur car, around 5 mins and wind down ur windows. while my xperia get fixed with car driving, windows up within 10secs.
so in da end, buy xperia or better device rather than omnia.
thx. n hope it helps.
