    Good Points: Many good features, except the stylus can be fiddly to use with small buttons. However, has useful mouse and pointer. Clarity good, but calls dropped. Overall quality good.

    Bad Points: Packed with Samsung, WinMo and Vodafone software causes crashes especially with the inability to send emails on smtp servers. Microsoft issued patch repair, but this seems unreliable. Camera has too many settings for quick use. Battery life not good.

    General comments: Think hard about how many features you will use. Free software applications are mostly poor or useless. WinMo best if you need to create rather than just edit Office dox.

    The Samsung i900 Omnia very light and compact esp compared to my previous PDA phones, MDA Vario III, M5000, M2000 etc. Great videos and photos.. This phone you need to "play" around for a few days to get used to it, I nearly returned it until it finally clicked and great, it is much better than my previous HTC PDA phones.

    Scratch resistant Screen WI-FI Camera is awesome, better than average digital camera Easy to use Had the phone on Thursday as an upgrade to my N73. Best phone I had so far... You have all the basic stuffs you need in a phone. Even listening to music is great. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!

    Nice looking. Large screen. Very slim compared to other similar phones. Loads of features which are very logical once you use it as a computer not a phone. Logical. Worth buying the 16g device. Very happy with device which I got from Ebay unmarked. Dont need such a sophisticated device so I wouldnt have paid retail price for it. Well recommend Samsung i900 Omnia.

    Nice looking, touch screen works great! A lot of futures with Windows Mobile 6.1. WiFi connection works fine and gives me possibility to use my Skype everywhere. Very nice and full with futures! I recommend Samsung i900 Omnia for a mobile phone.

    The samsung i900 Omnia is amazing is the only word I can say this key bord malarki is not true, you have to be silly not to use that the faults that have been reported on hear arnt faults its just the person not using it right I give it 10 out of 10 the pen should have been bulit it but the finger mouse like on a laptop is easy to use final verdict is you have to set the phone up wich take a full day then after its ok 100% satisfide.

    This is one of the best touch screen mobiles out there. It as windows office, windows media, push Email ans a shed load of memory. FANTASTIC iphone and Nokia N96 (very poor battery) bow down to the master.

    I am truly amazed at the review score for this PDA/mobile. I guess many did'nt realise this aint a fashion phone unlike a certain fruity toy mobile out there. You need to get to know this piece of kit and if you have the brains to work it out your rewards are many. I found the battery life for a PDA excellent, I am sure some people expect this mini computer to last as long as a fashion phone well sorry it won't but nor will a fashion phone give you the things the Omnia does! If you want a seriou ...

    Phone looks nice but I think it was released prematurely, it has tons of bugs, a short battery life, wifi not working properly and generally a useless phone in my opinion. Not recommended, and customer support from Samsng was very poor.

    Only had i900 for 2 day had a N96 which was a royal pain in the ass bugged to hell. The i900 is probably one of the most perfect phones on the market make iphone look like a toy. :) Yes it takes a bit of time to get use to but well worth it. This phone has blown me away samsung have a phone that can compete and i would say kill the iphone dead in it tracks

    The Samsung i900 Omnia is a very nice phone, possibly a little over priced and hasn't the same wow factor as the iphone, but also has many other features which the iphone doesn't have.

    As soon as i got the phone, i was overwhelmed with confusion as the touch screen literally just wouldn't work properly, i didn't get anything i clicked on, just a disappointing experience in which i took the phone back in a week of purchasing.

    I had this phone for a week, I found it harder and harder to use. I thought it was a touch screen where infact you had to use a stick to use! I wish there is more information on the Omnia before I got it as it too much , hardly competes with I Phone. I wouldnt reccommend this to anyone.

    This phone is awesome. I use it for business and its fantastic. Battery life is great , I think because it has the latest rom version. Never crashes and is so quick. Brilliant

    A Samsung Omnia Review - I have had this phone for about a week. When I read about this I thought this would be a great rival to the iphone. It is not. Sadly this is another poor imitation.I am now considering trading it in for an iphone, swapping contracts and waiting for the software to catch up. The touch screen is not very responsive and requires far more force than would be expected. My previous HTC was much better and neither are a patch on the response of the iphone.General user interface ...

    After seeing a video review of the Samsung Omnia I was having doubts about my need for a keyboard as I originally wanted the Touch Pro or the Sony Ericsson Xperia. Anyway, patience and the fact of other keyboard handsets usually are more expensive I chose to go for the Omnia. Its quite a statement claiming it is all you will need but they are not far wrong. You have standard mobile feel with basic text, browse, calling and email plus the 5mp camera which you don't normally find in a windows mobi ...

    Samsung Omnia Review - The specifications are excellent, but somehow the machine disappoints, perhaps as it is trying to do to much. It is certainly possible that a few firmware tweaks could turn this into an iphone challenger, but at the moment it is just a little too awkward and slow to use. The user interface is not bad, until you put it next to it's apple rival, where it seems at least a little clumsy.

    Phone provided by Phones 4 U under a Vodafone contract. Replaced faulty phone one week after purchase. Replacement phone worked in-store, then went faulty (same fault) 24 hrs after purchase. My belief is that the phone has been released without being proven and customers are being used as trouble shooters.

    The Samsung i900 Omnia takes a lot of getting used to it is good on paper, light and will fit into the pocket nicely. However, the keyboard is not so good, a poor screen and poor response to touch.
