Samsung Omnia really is an iPhone competitor

The Samsung Omnia’s biggest selling point is its touch screen - it’s huge, very responsive, and looks very sharp. Also worth noting are its 8GB internal memory (expandable to 24GB with a 16GB microSD card!), great battery life, GPS built right in, and a 5MP auto-focus camera (with LED flash).

More information on the Samsung Omnia including reviews and pictures!

Surprise, surprise! CNET’s Bonnia Cha has recommended the Samsung Omnia (on Verizon Wireless) over the new and much anticipated BlackBerry Storm. Cha says she prefers the Omnia because its operating system is a bit quicker to respond:

Samsung Omnia gets Verizon Wireless brand

In case you had any doubts (I know I didn’t) - the Samsung Omnia will be officially coming to Verizon Wireless.

Alright Verizon Wireless customers, put down the new BlackBerry Storm and hear me out, okay? And, while the real specs are still a mystery, we’re still talking about a 5MP camera/camcorder, full HTML browsing, and an expansive touchscreen.

While the Verizon page is linked to by Samsung’s website, the Verizon page itself doesn’t exist… yet. But it will. Oh yes, it will.

Video: LG Incite unboxing

LG Incite unboxing

The folks at pocketnow have just posted a video of their unboxing of the new and awesome LG Incite.

The LG Incite, as mentioned before, packs a 3″, wide QVGA resolution screen, an accelerometer for automatic screen rotation, and of course, HSDPA, FM Radio, WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.0, and all that. Strangely enough, like the HTC Touch HD, the Incite has no D-Pad, but a scrolling wheel on the side. I’m not sure how I feel about that, personally, but the folks at pocketnow find it to be a welcome addition.

What do you thinK? Will the LG Incite stand up against some of the other new and fancy devices like the Fuze (HTC Touch Pro) or the Samsung Omnia?

Samsung Omnia upgraded and renamed for SK Telekom

samsung-tomnia

The Samsung Omnia has received some upgrades for its journey to Korea to be sold under SK Telekom. The upgrades include a 3.3-inch 480 x 800 WVGA touchscreen, as well as support for Satellite DMB for mobile TV. The phone will keep some of its original specs such as being available in 4GB and 16GB models, both with expandable memory via microSD card slots.

Also part of the move to Korea, the Omnia will be renamed the T*Omnia. I’m not sure why the name change but there is clearly some Korean marketing at work.

SoftBank’s version of Samsung Omnia - “SoftBank 930SC Omnia”

The Samsung Omnia has finally been announced for Japan - months after the device first launched in Europe.

The “SoftBank 930SC Omnia” has a 3.3 inch TFT touchscreen display and supports a resolution of a whopping 800 x 480 pixels, compared to the 3.2 inch/240×400 pixel display of its European counterpart. The Japanese version of the Omnia also has a cool built-in 1-Seg TV tuner and comes in a choice of colours: black, white, and red.

No word on pricing yet but it looks like SoftBank will begin offering this device starting in November.
