Samsung Omnia (i900) Releasing in India Tomorrow

Samsung Omnia (i900), one of the coolest smart phones to be released will be available in India tomorrow. Omnia is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and packed with MS Office (PowerPoint, Excel, and Word). Omnia has 3.2-inch Wide QVGA touch screen, which supports 240 x 400 pixels and fully packed with features. Samsung i900 Omnia comes packed with a 5 megapixel auto focus camera, which has features like face and smile detection and auto-panorama shot.

The phone comes with a huge 16GB memory similar to the iPhone and on top of that, you also have the option of using a microSD card for increasing the memory further. Then, there is the quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, combined with HSDPA 7.2Mbps. Omnia also features built-in accelerometer, which allows the UI to rotate automatically and follow the handset’s current orientation.

With Omnia you get Windows Live pre-installed and also get Push Hotmail. Omnia  comes with Outlook and a fully functional Office Suite on the device, so that you can access, read, edit word documents, excel worksheets, power points.

Here is the technical specification of Omnia;

• Network: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE + HSDPA 7.2Mbps
• Dimension: 112 x 56.9 x 12.5 mm, Weight: 127g
• Wireless: stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), WiFi
• Display: 3.2-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) touch screen
• Camera: 5 megapixels with auto-focus, featuring face and smile detection as well as auto-panorama shots
• OS/UI: Windows Mobile 6.1 with Samsung’s widget-friendly TouchWiz user interface running on top of it
• CPU: Marvell 624MHz
• Other: built-in GPS, accelerometer for auto-rotation, optical mouse
• Two models will be sold: 8GB and 16GB, that can further be expanded with microSD memory cards

Omnia should be a great phone to own and use, but we are not sure about the price. Omnia could definitely give iPhone a competition especially for the fact that iPhone is over priced in India. If you are planning to buy a touch screen smart phone, Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA is also in the way and is expected in India by October which features a full fledged QWERTY key pad as well.

Update: Price of Omnia-24GB for 37,999 and 32GB 39,999.
