4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, November 6, 2009

I purchased this phone as soon as it was available from another online retailer. The two reviews posted here are so different, thought I might throw in my 2 cents. I have had the phone since September. During that time I have used it pretty much constantly. The media capabilities are the best of any Windows Mobile Device I have ever had, including (axim x50v, tilt, ipaq 210 and diamond 2). The device plays almost all my movies out of the box with no transcoding necessary. You have to watch your bitrates though. I have tversity setup at home and use the connected home program on the device to stream my media files over the air. Very cool feature. This also has video out so I can hook it up to any TV with RCA inputs. You will need an additional cable to accomplish this though; it is not in the box. To make the most of this device, you need to purchase the A/V cable, a 16GB Micro SD card, additional screen protectors and I would suggest a case. You don't want to mess up the beautiful amoled screen on this phone. I compared this device to my iPod touch and the colors are amazing. The 5mp camera is good enough for quick shots, but you should not assume this will replace your point and shoot. I also have found that the camera on the front of the phone is a moot point until someone develops a Skype like program that does video on the phone. I have not found one yet. I agree with the one poster who complained about Samsungs reskinning of the email program, you will hate it, it is sluggish. I have been using SPB mobile shell in place of this and will never go back. The phone is fast, easy to use, responsive, and until windows mobile 7 or whatever they are calling it comes out, I think I have found my device. Take it from a gadget junkie, this phone is fantastic. I use AT&T prepaid in Washington DC and get mostly 3g+, some 3g, and rarely does is go slower than that. Connection speeds are on par with wifi at a hotspot, meaning that you get WebPages with a little delay. Home browsing is fast.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best phones, February 25, 2010

I have had this phone for about a month and I must say I love it.I didn't buy mine from Amazon. Here are the things I like:
-Large crisp screen
-The touchscreen feels like the iphone.
-2 to 3 days between charges
-improved touchwiz interface(I thought it was a joke on the 1st Omnia).You wouldn't believe it's a Windows mobile phone.
-packed with a lot of features especially the camera
-good speaker
-proximity sensor that turns off the phone during a call(Omnia 1 used to lock the screen)
-Adobe Le and Office preinstalled

Things I hate:
- the landscape keyboard is only available in the browser and messaging.Hello,what about Office mobile?
-the space bar of landscape keyboard should be larger
-speaker in the back
- it takes some research and effort to make mms and wifi work
If you are looking for an iPhone alternative,I definitely recommend the OmniaII.
