I recently changed my phone to Samsung Omnia, amazingly it has lot of cool features and performs decently without disappointing too much.
What is good.
- Phone with a laptop style mouse, comes handy when it is hard to press keys in virtual keyboard
- Side bar like in VISTA – another cool feature, comes handy with limited widgets!!!
- FM Radio
- About 4 types of virtual keyboards, not all the best.. but once you get used to it, can’t complain much
- WIFI – I think this is windows mobile – very easy to configure and pops up whenever it finds a network
- Opera browser is nice, but it is much better with www.skyfire.com – generally on any windows mobile
- Camera – never had such a good experience in a Phone camera before.. really nice.. see some pictures I took
this is a one click – point and shoot panorama photo without much effort..
What is not good!
- GPS – I wish it worked better without having to disconnect my phone/broadband – and again, when i do it doesn’t work with google maps or Live Search
- Even after selecting not to notify on a wireless network, it keeps notifying – little annoying
- Battery Life – it was good until i configured my email, once i configured my email to check every 5 minutes. i have to recharge twice a day – this is again depends on individual user preference
- FM Radio doesn’t work on Bluetooth stereo headset
