Este telefono es precioso en cuanto a su diseño (muy delgado y elegante), sus funciones y programas son muy utiles. En fin me encanta su funcionalidad y diseño.
El problema esta en que su caja o “housing”, es muy delicada, se raya facilmente y hasta se rompe su pintura con facilidad, mas si utilizas el “stylus” amarrado a un lado del telefono, este lo golpeo constantemente y proboca este problema.
Recomiendo conprarle un “case” para que no se dañe. Yo he tenido que comprar un “Housing” y un “case” para que no se me dañe el nuevo. En USA no venden el “Housing” tuve que comprarlo en Hong Kong.

I have received my Samsung Omnia i900 through VibeCelluar and the followin to points are my reveiw
- VibeCellular delivary service is great.
- Samsung Omnia i900 is definitely an “i phone killer” (with apology to iphone fans), this is really an all-in-one cellular phone.

The phone has a few issues with the plasma screen if the sun is around the screen can’t be seen. The signal is kind of weak but that could be a regional problem. The touch screen is not that great you have to use the pointer stick to sometimes use the icons. Your finger can’t sometimes work on the screen. The phone is great but in time it will upgrade with better features.

The Samsung Omnia is a major disappointment. Let’s go over all the things this phone does wrong.
1) Touchscreen – There is only vibration feedback when using the keyboard. You’ll find yourself repeatedly tapping a command before the phone finally recognizes your finger press. The touch keypad is nothing close to the Iphone and impossible to use without the stylus. It registers on keypress (not release) so typos are a common occurance.
2) Slow – Throughout the day I have to run task manager and kill unwanted processes to keep my phone from dragging. I visit task manager between two and three times a day because this phone can’t run at a good pace with more than 4-5 programs running
3) Stylus – THERE IS NO INTERNAL STORAGE FOR THE STYLUS! You have to loop it through a tiny slide bar and let the stylus dangle. It makes it look like you have eyeliner hanging from your phone. I’ve received multiple comments from people at work. (It’s very noticeable.)
4) Widgets – Terrible…. It’s easy to clutter your phone front screen with them and none of the widgets are truly functional except the calendar and Opera shortcuts. The alert widget is the worst. You can’t set alerts for just one of your email accounts, meaning you’ll constantly receive alerts (in the same widget) if you have multiple email / text accounts.
5) Visual Voicemail – You have to pay $3 extra a month for this feature…. Ridiculous.
6) Internal Antenna placement – I have dropped more phone calls because of the placement of the antenna on the phone! The antenna is located on the bottom of the phone and not the top! So if you hold your omnia like a normal cell phone, the palm of your hand covers the antenna, instantly dropping your cell phone coverage in half (usually 2-3 bars). The only way I’ve made quality calls on the OMNIA is with a handsfree device or via speakerphone with the butt of the phone facing the sky.
7) Web Browsing – Comes with Opera and IE. IE works for “mobile sites”. Opera tries to render actual web pages and does a poor job of it. The omnia doesn’t have internal memory dedicated to video / graphics so when you zoom in/out, the phone pauses before it re-renders the page. It made browsing a chore and painful.
The plus sides of the phone.
1) Light – barely feel it in your pocket
2) Internal memory – 8gb internal memory is a plus
3) Camera – 5 megapixel camera takes great pictures
In closing, do not buy this phone, you’ll be deeply disappointed. The positive reviews must not have been reviewed by people that have used other smartphones. This is by far the worst smartphone I’ve owned. It’s so bad I’ve switched back to my Motorola Q….

The Samsung Omnia is the worst phone I have ever owned. It is dead after only 3 months. The software went bad and the phone won’t turn on. It doesn’t lock anymore and makes random calls. Also, it won’t charge. The people at the Verizon store checked and said the battery was perfectly fine. Then they had me talk to tech support on the phone. The tech support guy said that there are a lot of problems with the phone due to all the electronic stuff in it. They agreed because the phone is under warranty to replace it with the LG enVtouch. They had the new phone to me by 9:30 a.m. this morning via Fed Ex. I couldn’t even turn on the Omnia to get my contacts out of it.
I would not recommend the Omnia to anyone.
