Having tried the Omnia, I've got to give Samsung credit for coming up with one of the best Windows Mobile PDA-phones in the market today. Its touchscreen UI is fairly intuitive and I like the haptic feedback. Compared to the iPhone 3G, the Omnia offers a good combination of features, performance and design, too. However, what the Omnia lacks is the responsiveness and ease of use you'd find on the iPhone 3G.

The Omnia does not come with a instruction manual. The web's manual is too simplistic and cannot really help or direct you on how to fully use the phone to its full potential.
It is a good phone though... one that is on par with iPhone.

Can't wait! Only less than a day to the iPhone 3G launch--NZ time, being the very first country to get it. Though why Apple's chosen to roll its second-gen cellular out in a country full of sheep on D-Day, and not countries like Singapore and the Philippines where it's a definite market stumps me.

Well, there's always the apple camp and the omnia camp.
In the other battle btw Diamond and Omnia, Omnia has won the battle.
Definitely hoping Omnia is going to beat Iphone 3G, which is a big winner in terms of its functionality.

love the touch interface on the current iphone, but 3G iphone with 2 megapixel camera? no video recording? no mms? c'mon Apple... where have you been?
and we haven't even seen a clear price indication yet. from overseas sources, it seems like the 8GB 3G iphone will sell for around the same price as the 16GB Omnia... and this is assuming omnia 16gb doesn't see a price cut when the 3g iphone comes in...
as much as i love what apple has done, i'd have to go with the samsung omnia this time around

Unless Apple decides to update the current iPhone 3G's specs, my vote would go to the superior competitor

Just based on specs, the obvious winner is i900. iPhone is too expensive!

Samsung Omnia is one of the best phones around. With its powerful features, sleek design, 5 mega pixel camera, it's really one of a kind !

Samsung's Omnia and Apple's iphone 3G cater to different crowds. As for responsiveness, well I'm sure everyone has a certain amount of tolerance for different levels of responsiveness. On the other hand, one's needs are more important. Some people may need the Omnia's features due their daily work, even though it may not be as responsive (but as long as it is within tolerable levels) as the iPhone. Personally as far as I know, those friends of mine who are using iPhone are those who, in reality, don't really use the features within, or in any other phone. They are the ones who just needed a phone, and the iPhone looked cool, so they got it (though I don't mean all iPhone users are the same as my friends). And those friends of mine who went for Windows mobile PDA phones tend to be those who really needed the features/functions.
