Samsung SGH D900i

The D900i looks great but doesn't quite make the cut when it comes to function.

For Rs. 12,000, it’s really not worth it. To be honest, if Samsung drops the price to under 10K I would consider it. But with a camera that doesn't cut it and a music player that is set to tear your eardrums and a few odd quirks with the settings, I...

Samsung SGH-D900 Ultra Edition 12.9

The Samsung SGH-D900 is the third in the Ultra Edition series of phones which has the 6.9 (X820), 9.9 (D830) and this 12.9 (D900). Those numbers represent the thinness, so this actually makes the D900 the thickest in the Ultra Edition series. But fear...

The Samsung Ultra Edition 12.9 D900 costs around Rs. 23,000, which is a little steep, but we're talking about a phone with a nice large QVGA display, a good quality 3.15-megapixel digital camera, fast Bluetooth 2.0 including stereo A2DP, an office...

Omnia

Though it has been on the market in Europe and Asia for months, the Samsung Omnia debuted in the United States on Verizon's 3G network only a couple of days before Thanksgiving 2008. Available for $249 (with a two-year contract), the sophisticated...

Gorgeous QVGA screen Excellent battery life

Interface can be slow No standard 3.5mm headphone jack

Despite a few kinks relating to the interface and a few omissions in the design, the Samsung Omnia is a high-quality handset that delivers a generous array of features

Samsung Omnia (Verizon Wireless)

Back in late September 2008, we reviewed the unlocked version of the Samsung Omnia and at the time, we didn't know if it would make it to the United States even with all the demand for the touch-screen smartphone. However, it looks as if Verizon...

The Samsung Omnia features a spacious touch screen with customizable Home screen, haptic feedback, and accelerometer. The Windows Mobile smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and EV-DO Rev. A support, as well as a 5-megapixel camera and robust...

You're still limited to the preloaded widgets. The onscreen keyboard is a bit cramped, and the Omnia can be sluggish

Though slightly more expensive, Verizon customers looking for a touch-screen smartphone will get a better user experience and faster performance from the Samsung Omnia than the RIM BlackBerry Storm.

Samsung Omnia (16GB, Unlocked)

Along with the RIM BlackBerry Bold and Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, the Samsung Omnia is one of the most requested and sought after smartphones of 2008. Why all the buzz? It's not so much the Omnia's touch screen that's drawing attention (after all, we've...

The Samsung Omnia features a nice touch screen and customizable interface that makes the Windows Mobile smartphone easier to use. It also has a 5-megapixel camera and a boatload of other multimedia features

You can't add additional widgets to the TouchWiz interface, and there are some nagging design quirks. The unlocked version does not offer U.S. 3G support, and it's expensive

While there are some design quirks, and we're still waiting for a U.S. release, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to the Apple iPhone.

Samsung Omnia Design

Samsung's ultra-high-end touchscreen phone brings a welcome makeover to Windows Mobile along with a sharp 5-MP camera.

Top-notch user interface, Wi-Fi and HSDPA (in Europe) support, Loaded with apps, Supports multiple video and audio formats

3G doesn't work in the U.S., Keyboard and touchscreen could be more accurate, Expensive

The impressive touchscreen is just a notch below the iPhone in terms of quality: It's still hard to be dead accurate on Web page link selections without using a stylus, and you need to use force to press icons. Like the iPhone, the Omnia switches to...

Samsung SGH-D900 (black, Unlocked)

To open the phone, push the surface of the phone upward. It feels most natural to do this with your thumb, but even then, we found it awkward as the front of the phone is slippery. A small plastic ledge underneath the display does make this a little...

The Samsung SGH-D900 is a slim, lightweight phone that feels great in the hand. It has a gorgeous display, and features a 3.0-megapixel camera, a music player, a MicroSD card slot, a speakerphone, and quad-band EDGE support

The Samsung SGH-D900 has a flat keypad that makes menu navigation and dialing tricky

If you can afford it, the Samsung SGH-D900 is a sleekly designed slider phone with a stellar feature set, including a great camera.

Samsung D900 review: Slim slider extreme

The slimmest slider in the world already on the market. Samsung D900 (12.9 mm thick when closed) offers almost maximum equipment. It has also been given a special final touch: a 3 megapixel camera and a superb display. Now try to imagine it all in a...

One of Samsung D900's main advantages pops out when the phone is open. I am talking about its 3 megapixel camera with auto focus located in the top area of the back. The camera lens along with a tiny mirror for self-portraits and a LED is built into a...
