Samsung Releases New All-Purpose Smartphone for Holiday Season

by John Lentz Jr. on Sat, 2008-12-06 00:30

I recently came across an article detailing all the devices made obsolete by the cellphone. The Samsung Omnia confirms the thrust of that article. Available for online pre-order at www.verizonwireless.com beginning tomorrow and in store pickup on December 8, the Samsung Omnia boasts an impressive array of features including full HTML Web browser with touch navigation, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, a 5.0 megapixel camera, MP3 playback, Bluetooth support, text, picture, and video message, and a host of other features.

Small, light, and not too hefty in price at $249 (post a $70 rebate), the Omnia is a good choice for a phone if your existing phone is out of date. Products like the Omnia and iPhone are blurring the line between MP3 players, cell phones, PDAs, cameras, and handheld computers. All the technology can be in your pocket just in time for Christmas!

Samsung Omnia SCH-i910 from Verizon

by Joe Stewart on Tue, 2008-11-11 10:14

Samsung is going to make the long awaited Omnia available in the US in a CDMA version from Verizon. They of course released it in Asia and then Europe much earlier in GSM. This SCH-i910 is otherwise identical.

Similar in size and general appearance to the iPhone, the SCH-i910 runs Windows Mobile 6.1 with built-in 128 MB RAM and 8 GB of storage. PhoneArena says "...this is the first device with a built-in support of not only DivX, but XviD video.". Very cool. It also has a 5-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, and something I like – built-in FM radio.
