This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.

When paired with a compatible 3G network that uses WCDMA 2100 MHz connectivity (found in Europe and Asia), you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In the United States and foreign territories where 2100 MHz 3G networks are not available, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).

It features handwriting recognition capabilities as well as an accelerometer sensor that auto-rotates the screen when shifted from tall to side profile (and back again). In addition to the internal 8 GB of memory, the Omnia can be expanded via optional MicroSD/MicroSDHC memory cards up to 8 GB in size.



The Omnia is loaded with features, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2100 MHz 3G connectivity, a 5-megapixel camera/camcorder, and GPS.
Samsung's TouchWiz user interface makes entering data and text simple. With unique widgets, you can customize and personalise the way you use the phone. The quick and simple drag-and-drop feature lets you have instant access to your favorite functions at a moment's touch. A unique menu of widgets display functions such as the clock, radio player, music player and more personal elements including photos and birthday reminders. And Samsung's differentiated tactile technology also gives you tangible feedback sensation when items are selected.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.

The 5-megapixel autofocus camera sports a 4x digital zoom, flash, face detection, 15 shooting modes (from sports to sunset), ISO settings, and many more advanced functions. It also captures video clips (length determined by available memory), which can be displayed on external TVs and monitors using the phone's TV output capabilities. You can also edit videos on the Omnia, with functions such as trimming, audio dubbing, and subtitles.

The digital audio play provides a wide range of format compatibilities (MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC+), and the video player offers multi-codec support for DivX, Xvid and other video formats, eliminating the hassle of file format conversions. It also comes with an FM radio with RDS, which displays the name of the currently playing song (when tuned to compatible radio stations).

It also includes Windows Live for Windows Mobile, which provides a full set of Windows Live services, such as the Windows Live Messenger IM application, which now enables you to chat with more than one person at one time or send a file.

With Windows Mobile 6.1, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite.

  • With Excel Mobile, you're not just confined to editing charts: with the new Chart Wizard you can create charts quickly and easily.
  • PowerPoint Mobile allows you to view the full presentation, rehearse timings, check the order and any live links you may have in your presentation. You can then email comments back to the team or communicate via MSN Messenger for an immediate response.
  • After creating or editing a Word document or Excel spreadsheet, you can synchronize it with your PC and it will automatically be converted to the PC version.

All Windows Mobile 6.1 powered devices include Direct Push Technology for up-to-date e-mail delivery and automatic synchronization of Outlook calendars, tasks and contacts through Microsoft Exchange Server. It also offers a set of important device security and management features that include the capability to remotely wipe all data from a device should it be lost or stolen, helping ensure that confidential information remains that way.

5 out of 5 stars amazing   May 5, 2010
Chafik Hadj Rabia (north liberty IA usa)
it was a very fast service , i received my phone in time , i loved the phone it has everything


5 out of 5 stars Great phone!   December 28, 2009
John D. (Guyana)
So far phone works perfectly. Crashed a few times, but nothing a reset didn't fix and there was no data loss.

Only issue I have with this phone is that you'll need to find a better 3rd party GPS that works without the internet since I don't have a data plan in my country for the phone, so getting the internet all the time can be expensive. If you have an unlimited data plan then you wont have anything to worry about.

All features on the phone work well. The Samsung keyboard took a little getting used to since it had XT9 but once you figure out how to disable it then you'll be fine since having word completion can be a bit annoying at times.

The Transcriber feature is really good, but there should have been a way to do a test(calibration) so that it can learn to recognise your handwriting since everyone's is different.

The finger mouse feature is nice for one handed use, so that would come in handy for most users who multitask.

I personally think this is a great phone for anyone who, like myself, loves alot of functionality and features.

This is a great phone for the price and has all if not more of the features of the high-end, high priced phones in the $800-900 range.

At the time I bought this I had issues with the 3rd party seller with shipping to an address and the apt number was missing and they refunded me within a few days, I would advise all users to make their purchase directly from Amazon since their service is more superior than some 3rd party buyers.

Another thing to note is that I purchased the 8GB from the 3rd party at $399.99 but after being refunded I decided to go for the 16GB that was being sold by Amazon with better shipping prices (including the Free Supersaver Shipping) for only $402.

I hope you do consider buying this phone since it's a great investment for any of you looking to have fun and functionality together in a phone.



1 out of 5 stars very expensive paperweight   December 14, 2009
JCK (Providence, RI)
I bought this phone after careful consideration of switching to AT&T for the iPhone. I decided to stay with Verizon (for the coverage and customer service), but really regret getting this phone. It is the most frustrating phone I've ever used. One paper, the list of features make it sound fantastic, but in practical use it is the opposite. The scroll feature is terrible - it wants to work like the iPhone but it is a few generations behind it. Page expansion is terrible and the tilt screen feature is junk.


4 out of 5 stars nice but might be too advance for me   November 25, 2009

1 out of 5 stars Its not worth your hard earned money   November 13, 2009
Allways All Ways (Denver, CO USA)
This phone is a joke. After 2 months of using it, the phone ringer wont work at all. I now have to wait until I feel the silent vibration notification that I'm receiving a call. The touch screen feature has a built in time delay so that nothing is real time, you gotta wait for the system to respond; the result is that you end up pushing buttons over and over, which disrupts the system's operation. Amazingly the phone did not come with earphones, so I had to buy those extra. The radio does not work. The dialing feature is clumsy and does not respond properly. The menus are not intuitive. The unit also needs to be soft reset continuously, as it gives you a black screen just in being plugged into the wall. Customer support is a joke. This phone is not worth your money.
