Samsung Omnia (Verizon Wireless)

By (cnet.com)

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

By Bonnie Cha (zdnet.com)

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.

Like the HTC Touch Diamond (right), the Samsung Omnia features a unique touch-screen user interface.

"Throw it across the room HATE it!"

By oaktyf (cnet.com)

Nothing good to say

Touchscreen accuracy is just HORRIBLE, 50% of my time interacting with this phone is redoing, retrying what didnt go right on the touch screen. The onscreen keyboard is terrible! Work bought 3 of them, we all just want to CHUCK 'em

With the use of SPB's Mobile Shell one gets a pretty good PDA - as long as one likes using a stylus

As a phone, this is the worst phone I've EVERr owned!!! Sometimes I have to press the send key 3 times to answer a call. Texting is impossible! I had to grow my fingernails out in order to do anything without a stylus. Windows 6.1 is SLOOOOOW
