The first phone to introduce HD recording in mobile phones. It has taken mobile video recording to a next level. The grand Samsung Omnia HD is still awaiting a competitor .
Those of you who must be thinking that Nokia N97 will be able to beat the Samsung HD mobile device, I think its time for you to taste the reality. Our dearest Omnia not even run on S60 5th edition, it also incorporates touchflow UI over that. You have the same widgety goodness home screen and amazing AMOLED 3.7 inch glorious touchscreen.
Here I quote the conclusion from phone arena review. You check out the in depth review here.
The Samsung´s monster, the OMNIA HD i8910. We took a scrutinizing look at it, we used it to listen to music, talk, take pictures, capture and playback HD video content and it´s about time we passed out verdict. We have to admit that despite its size, it is one hell of an all-in-one, smart device. Aside from being the first cell phone capable of capturing and playback of nice quality HD video content, its 8-megapixel camera takes pictures with very good quality. The OMNIA HD sports an awesome 3.7-inch touch sensitive AMOLED screen and battery that lasts long. Still, the i8910 HD also has a few drawbacks. It simply loves fingerprints and discerning anything on the screen in direct sunlight is an uphill battle. The more annoying problem, however, relates to mediocre sound quality during talks. Anyway, we do believe it´s going to make it on the top 3 list of any high-tech buff and leave a lasting memory, simply because it sets a new standard on the all-in-one phone market.
The way Samsung has developed in recent past, has made it the second largest mobile phone producer in the world. If the same keep going, time it near when it will surely overtake nokia in all aspects.
As for me , an ardent Nokia fan, will take sometime to accept the reality that Nokia can be beaten and there are better option available at the same price.
Even though the review shares, that there are some lacking in Omnia HD , but there is nothing called as a perfect device. The Nokia Flagship mode , MR. N97 runs on just a 434MHZ processor , and at the same time, is much costlier than this phone.
However, looking at the bigger picture and in terms of usability and a pure mobile experience ( considering the services that Nkia is going to provide with Nokia N97 ) , I still believe that it does not beat Nokia N97. Did you expect something else from a Nokia Fan ??
