Images: Samsung i900 Omnia vs Apple iPhone
By Dusan Belic on Monday, June 30th, 2008 at 6:34 AM PST In Apple, Devices, Samsung, iPhone
Samsung certainly made the i900 Omnia with iPhone in mind. The way the device feels and looks, makes everyone think about Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s handset — or at least that’s my take.
Today we bring you couple of images comparing the two devices. With a 5 megapixel camera and that uber-cool TouchWiz user interface, Samsung may be onto something. Plus, the DivX certification doesn’t hurt as well… Keep reading for more images after the jump.

Also yes mms, voice gps( my own little created app), and the camera can do this picture perfect stuff with motion sensors.
So well omnia…. It’s cool it’s nice.. It’s fancy too… Womderfull camera… nice for business I guess…… But when it comes down to which is better……. Sorry omnia lovers but take a closer look to unlocked iPhones… There a mobile computer first and a phone last. And also if you wondering why you have to hack to get all the true iPhone feature it’s because apple coorporates are evil….. And I’m still going to apply for a job in the developement department to make all these thing I have come standard on the iPhone so people won’t be left out
So, you empty your wallet, bank accounts, sell everything you own and use the cash to buy a child’s toy with pretty colorful buttons only to have to hack the damn thing to get access to any of the half decent features. And it still has shit camera, and a battery that will eventually wear out and suck shit, when you find that you can’t get to it… hmm… smart? So you then sell two thirds of all your blood and vital organs so that you can afford to send it off to apple so they can replace the battery for you…
Hang on… doesn’t the Omnia have FIVE MEGAPIXEL camera and a battery you can replace whenever you damn well feel like it? And you get both of those features right outta the box, rather then having to hack shit for all
And that thing about getting themes for the iPhone to look like the Omnia… the Omnia can do the same to look like the iPhone… AND IT’S CHEAPER!!!!
Hahaha! Well said wigley. You made a point. Nice! It made me even realize that omnia is the best phone compared to iphone. I’m going to get the omnia next week. Oh and btw, omnia is truly cheaper than the overrated expensive iphone.
I just got the Samsung Omnia (replaced my Samsung i760) and it really sucks! My biggest complaint is that it’s SLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW. The touchscreen keyboard is really lame. It gets confused when the screen rotates. And, when are they going to get Voice Signal right? It seems to me that lately anything that has Windows on it is a downgrade, Windows Mobile and Windows Vista. I’ve always been a Microsoft guy but lately their software leaves a lot to be desired. I would already have an iPhone now but I don’t want to sell my soul to the devil and sign a contract with AT&T. They suck more than the Samsung Omnia! Comon’ Verizon! Get that iPhone in 2012!
iPhone is nothing but hype. I had one, I eBayed it and got an Omnia. It’s indeed a very nice baby. Apple should just focus on what it does best: SELL MP3 PLAYERS AND MUSIC OVER iTUNES. And leave the smartphone business to the Japanese, Koreans, Canadians and the Finns.
The whole point of these phones is 1. To replace my having to carry around more than one device and 2. To be able to work remotely when I need to. So for the first a nice camera with good video saves me from having to bring a camera and for 2. I need wifi, skype, ssh, and (what I can’t do with a phone.. gotomeeting). So for now I have to bring a eeePC with an air card in the mythical situation where I ski next to a 3g tower.
But Nokia is catching. Up.
Next.. How to send “ESC” command in VI in SSH through your phone?
as ive read all the c0mments, its clear en0ugh that omnia is better than iph0ne, well, iph0ne, n0 txt, n0 vide0 call, n0 vide0 rec0rding, battery n0t replacesable s0 if damage u have t0 buy new iph0ne,unless s0me1 can fix 4u,als0 2mp camera, i d0nt understnd why apple did n0t make a g0od c0mpetiti0n t0 other smartph0nes bc0z n0w a days s0me has 8mp already s0 why n0t c0mpete? 0nly g0od thng is the bg screen and the t0uchng thng spclly pinchng pictures wich is c0oL, maybe if iph0ne has all of these features that it d0esnt hve, i thnk he can c0mpete with samsung c0z apple is well kn0wn, well since iph0ne d0nt have there features whch omnia has.definitely and its clear en0ugh that omnia 0wned iph0ne!!

samsung omnia isssss better than iphonen iphone suck

like some others, ive stumbled into this conversation and its quite interesting how people argue or defend or fight over their choice of phone..one sure thing i know is that as a consumer we have reasons why we buy something, its either we need it or we want it..
we have choices and preferences, we follow what makes us feel good or what is the trend or simply because its a necessity..ive never had an i phone or omnia, i wud say im a nokia addict, simply bec im used to the pattern of functionalities..im thinking of getting an iphone or omnia too..but whtevr wud be my choice its not bec of what other people say about the product..but bec i love having it. period.
ive got friends who are so into their iphones and their omnias too..each phone has its edge over the other, whats impt is that it gives us the kind of ‘fun’ and ‘quality’ as per our perception and expectation. if we it doesnt meet our expectation, if we can afford to have another phone then we can always dump our old phones and get a new one..and we can have as many phones as we want..
iphone has established a name worldwide, first to introduce of this kind of technology..a well versed package of ‘everything is here’..a very good edge will be the very good interface..
Omnia on the otherhand came late and had a blast of comparison of course and branded to be ‘trying to be like iphone’..with samsung being the manufacturer, consumers opt for this phone for so many reasons, out of curiosity, getting interested with its features, bec of thorough research, would not want a common phone, its the recent trend..and so many reasons..others choose it simply bec samsung has been proven to be genuis with the art of defining quality in their final products, whether televisions,audio-video, cameras, computers, printers or home applicances..
as for me, im still having second thoughts of going for this technology, after all, its always a matter of choice, like i said, its between need and want..if one day id badly need it..the final choice will always be the time i approach the cashier..right?
I don’t have an iPhone & have never used one. And have been completely unhip to the use of ANY touch phone until now.
But with my Verizon plan’s New Every 2 Upgrade, I BOUGHT my OMNIA for just $50 (online). I didn’t look into the iPhone, I’ll admit. But because I needed to streamline my expenses and increase my capabilities – for home, travel, and day-to-day use – I did a considerable amount of research and determined that the OMNIA was THE device to meet my needs.
It’s exceeded my expectations.
AND it can CREATE Word and Excel files, in the event I lose use of my laptop (& can’t afford to replace it).
Omnia = Toyota Corolla
iphone = Ferrari
Bold = Rolls-Royce lifestyle…
Omnia all the way……i have one now….and man……u learn something new everyday…..limitless functions…im actually carrying a laptop in my palm and it has good battery life too…u can tweak the phone in a million ways and make it ur bitch….plus mines an 8gb internal memory and has a 16gb microSDHC..totalling 24GB……iphone users can eat my dust….
ok heres the solution
buy an Omnia and an iPod touch
you get all of omnias features and a multitouch screen
and you can hack the ipod so it does everything the iphone does and you dont pay per month
i have an omnia and a 1st gen touch and om perfectly happy
1. Remote desktop apps like real vnc?
2. Mutilple codecs to play all files?
3. Different browsers compatible?
4. Smart reader to recoginize visting cards or Docs?
5. Face and smile detection, image stabilization, wide dynamic range?
6. Personalize all sound and notifications?
7. For Domain Enroll?
8. Tweak system performance with reg. files?
9. CDMA network support?
10. LED Flash lite utility?
11. Memory Expansion with card slots?
12. Class 12 (4+1/3+2/2+3/1+4 slots), 32 – 48 kbps GPRS?
13. Stereo FM radio with RDS?
If all this will become possible with iphone i will purchase.
