"I found the phone to be quite the opposite of what other owners had stated on Verizon's website. Most were negative, while few were positive. It is easy to use and navigate once you get used to all the features. This was my first touch screen/pda and it is really useful. My only wish is that I could save a contact from a text message as I was able on my old phone, but that is minor compared to what I read prior to buying the phone!"

Great Phone with So many Great Features!!!

PostedDecember 5, 2009

PostedDecember 5, 2009

"I just went from the Samsung Saga to this Samsung Omnia and in my eyes it’s a total 180. I Love everything about it, the only thing I have to get use to is the keyboard.

To me the 5 best features it has are:

1.Local Radio
A Radio that you can play without headphones…it’s not a satellite radio…it’s your actual hometown radio! I’m always trying to call in and win whatever it is they are giving to the 10th caller. With satellite radio you have everyone and their brother calling in from all over the USA. Not with this, you’re only competing with the ppl in your area.

2. This is great….5mp Camera and video
I have a son and im always taking pictures of him. It’s so crisp and much better than the 2.0mp the other phone had.

3. 360 movable screen
Screen flips around 360 to adjust to how you’re viewing it. This is great when on the internet. If you need the screen wider simply turn it on its side.

4. Quick “Silence”
if you need your ringer silenced all you have to do is turn over your phone. That’s it, no more going in and finding the “Sound” part to “Silence” it. Just simply turn your phone over and it’s silenced! This is also great for the ppl that forget (Like myself) it’s on “Silence” and go ½ your day until you realize no one has called… because you forgot to turn the volume back up.

5. The features are phenomenal!
It acts like the iphone for a very small fraction of the iphone price. You can slide your photos around with your finger, no buttons or hitting the back button to view another photo. For instance it has a game that has 2 dice on your screen. Shake your phone and it shakes up the dice! This is pointless…but it's still neat to be able to pass time shaking up some dice!

This phone is not for someone who is not technology savvy. I think the ppl with the horrible reviews just don’t have the time to get to know the phone. If you’re looking for a cool fun phone that will not break your pocket, this is it! Of course there will always be problems with all technology. That’s why it comes with a great 1 year manufacture replacement warranty. If it stops working they will simply send another one. No need for complaints in my eyes."

"I got my Omnia back in February. I was able to ditch my camera, my GPS, my PDA and my phone and replace them all with this one unit!
I had to wait for the GPS to be unlocked to use Google Latitude but now my friends know where I am.
Using the touchpad and touchscreen sure beats having to thumb all my messages.
The camera images are much better than my old 5 megapixel camera.
Having Wifi, Bluetooth and Broadband connections means I am always on the net and for my job that is a must.
By the end of the day the battery is nearly dead but with all the features I use this is probably to be expected.
If you are looking to replace multiple devices, this is a good unit to consider."

The update didn't so go smoothly so i had to get another one, but since tis one is updated and the GPS is unlocked with all the more finger friendly interface it's really nice, I've been able to take off the dangling stylus as i don't need it anymore i can just use the corner of my thumb, it's really nice!

It's already replaced my MP3 player and my camera. It's fast, hasn't frozen up on me yet even with tons of apps and music. It's really comfortable in my pocket too. Great phone! Highly recommended."

PostedJune 21, 2009

"Overall this phone works very well. It does lock up from time to time but not too often.I think the original home screen is useless and just an attempt to mimic the i phone. I use this phone primarily for business so the original user interface was awkward and time consuming for me. I ultimately use spb shell for my home screen and it transforms the phone into a very quick and productive phone to use. camera is excellent once you get the setting your way, and you get used to it. The onscreen keyboard takes some getting used to (especially coming from using a treo for many years) but you do get used to it. One note on samsung keyboard: it does not work reliably with google maps.
One thing I would reccomend to samsung is to widen the phone. a larger screen would make internet and email allot easier, and more enjoyable. being this phone is so thin it would still be a phone you could stuff in your pocket comfortably."

"I have had multiple cell phones through out my life, ie. Motorola StarTek amongst many other versions, Nokia, Sony etc even the xv6700 audivox. Not one of those phones even compare to what todays marketplace requires in a phone. Not only has the Samsung Omnia delivered, but it exceeded my hoped for expectations in a phone.

Almost making the mistake of purchasing the Blackberry Touch, I discovered the Omnia and took a risk knowing very little about it when I purchased it.

This phone provides the perfect work/life balance for me. I actually sold my Itouch because I no longer needed it for music, internet surfing or any of it's other features.

Samsung Team, EXCELLENT job, I applaud you."

PostedJanuary 14, 2009

"For years and years I have wanted to ever popular iphone- that is until now! I ended up trading my Blackberry Storm in just to get this phone. How can the iphone or storm stack up against the Omnia? They can't! I have used all three and the Omnia wins hands down. It has the best camer- 5mp! and real internet just like on the other two phones with one cool exception- it has built in wifi for those areas where signals are weak and believe me it comes in handy. Unlike to iphone the baterry is removable and the touch screen is the best and totally customizable unlike the storm. Another plus is the fact that it comes with a built in 8GB of storage with room for 16GB more that blows the iphone out of the water and squashes the storm. As a nice plus for those with big fingers the Omnia comes with a stylus and in my opinion my texting as jumped in speed because of it. lol. This phone has it all anything that you can throw to me about the Storm or iphone or any phone for that matter- go ahead- I guarentee the omnia will beat it. Save yourself time and money spend less and do more- do it all with the new Samsung Omnia and who knows- maybe someday Verizon will upgrade it with a video call camera!"

PostedJanuary 14, 2009

"I hate to admit this but I get a kick out of just setting the phone on a desk and listen to the oohs and ahhs. Omnia is one good looking phone!

I use the phone for, well, calling, messaging, contacts, appointments and keeping track of my many passwords. Windows Mobile provides the base for all of the applications I need. It just took Samsung to make it more functional and fun to use. The touch screen is excellent. The only complaints I have heard are from people who did not do the screen calibration properly. Adding Opera makes surfing the web on a mobile actually very do'able..forget Internet Explorer. Everyday I use more features. The 5MB camera was in use on day one. I now read RSS feeds 2 times a day. I'm going to DC next week and have the radio function setup for travel updates during the inauguration. Battery time could be better but as long as you do not over use the screen backlight I always get a full day of heavy internet use from one charge. It takes some time to learn all of the features. I thought the contacts interface was clunky until I learned the find function. I liked the functionality of my Samsung i760 but it was too big. I keep the Omnia in my pocket. It's size is small enough to carry anywhere but it maintains a large screen and feels really good when in hand.

Get an Omnia...it does everything I want very well and...it really is pretty!"

"I've had this phone for about a month now and still haven't taken advantage of all of its features. This phone packed with just about anything you could want in a mobile, professional computing device. I no longer need to carry a camera with me everywhere I go either. The camera quality is outstanding! The touch screen works great, though it is geared towards using the Samsung widget and not so much the standard windows icons. I purchased SpB pocket shell, and that resolved that problems (well worth it). The phone comes with a stylus, which I kept attached to my phone for a couple of weeks as a "safety net", but have long since dropped that. I love my phone!!!!"

"I've owned a few smartphones and liked them all, each one had its good and bad. It's nice to see as time marches on the smart phones just keep getting better. Samsung has picked up the newest technology and crammed it all in one tiny device. Touch screen, Camera, Windows 6, Exchange, this is a feature packed phone that I have to say works very well.
It is a pretty heavy duty gadget, so if you are not into tweaking/hightech, bone up on your computing chops before you go out and grab this Smartphone."

"I compared it with the Blackberry Storm and this one had the better features of the two. I got it last Friday (today's Monday)...played with it all weekend and I'm VERY impressed overall. This is definitely what I was wanting in a phone/PDA and would definitely recommend it to friends. A guy at work played with it today and he was going to buy one tonight! The only bad thing I could possibly mention is that it doesn't have a silo for the stylus...it ties onto the side! The best feature I like about it is the optical mouse.....that's SWEET!! You guys did a GREAT job with this phone!!"

"After using several different models of smart phones in my work life I decided to make the upgrade for my personal mobile. I looked at everything from the larger providers like ATT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc... In the long run I decided to stick with Verizon and chose the Samsung Omnia. I am very pleased with my decision. The phone has good call quality, works well with Blueant bluetooth headset and has every bell and whistle you can imagine. I have connected to my home wireless network and placed VOIP calls with success. I can't list all of the features and how they performed, but I have run the phone through it's paces and have only one comment. The only thing I have seen so far is that phone volume could be a little higher. The speaker phone works well and again, bluetooth is great so this is a minor thing. Now that I have it, I can't imagine using a different phone."

A SMART phone not idiot proof

"It's as if Samsung was thinking of the same things I desired in a cell phone and then added a bunch more features. I'm very impressed with the touch screen functionality and the simplicity of use . Best of all, I don't have to use a stylus. I couldn't think of anything else that could be added to this otherwise perfect gadget. It has the muscle, memory and the tools to do far more than just pusing buttons on any other idiot-proof touch device. The 5 Megapixel camera is a LONG awated feature. Who needs to buy a camera. The Omnia Rocks! Great job Samsung!"

"I am going to make it short and simple many years ago I was a Samsung only guy. A while I came to use smartphones and went through every smartphone you can imagine from the blackberry to the palms and the utc starcoms and the htc and the last phone I had is the iPhone...etc..... This omnia is the best of both worlds that the iPhone couldn't be, it has pretty much all of the features of the iphone with samsungs own randition of the user interface accompanied with Windows 6.1 professional for all of your e-mail and organizational needs. The only cons I still see with Samsung is the use of proprietary connectors still which should be a thing of the pass and you should not have to carry around headphone adapters anymore., I would like to see a 3.5mm jack right on the phone and a mini USB charger port. Long story short this phone is great and you will not be dissapointed with what you get-JOEYD"

Good phone for me, not for most

PostedMarch 15, 2010

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedMarch 15, 2010

"As someone who is really into technology and knowledgeable about it, the Omnia is a great device for me, and the best thing on the market for me when I got it June 2009; it hasn't skipped a beat since then. The physical design of the phone is great and shows off all of the features (like 5MP camera) that many smartphone still cannot match. Windows Mobile is like a double edged sword; it's works quite similarly to Windows for the PC which means it multitasks and is endlessly customizable beyond what is included. However, trying to get the most out of the phone can be quite technical and complicated, which I don't mind but might frustrate the average user (this is true for all WinMo phones). Because of that, I wouldn't recommend it to most people, and more importantly, this phone is singing its swan song since it's been on the market for almost 1.5 years and other phones surpass it with more powerful processors and higher resolution screens. Still, the Omnia is great for me and I won't be needing to upgrade for a while anyway."

Amazing PDA

PostedNovember 16, 2009

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedNovember 16, 2009

"When it comes down to being a good PDA this phone excels. When it comes down to being a good phone this PDA lags a bit. Many people complain about the sluggishness of this phone, however I find no problems. I always use a SD card to save music and pictures, perhaps that helps to keep it fast. The lagging I spoke of in the phone function is the messaging, the standard keyboard is very hard to use. But remember you CAN download keyboards right off of the internet on the phone. Call quality is good, the speakerphone is a bit hollow sounding though. I would have appreciated a much higher resolution screen though. 240 by 400 pixels is way behind most other touchscreens. Windows mobile is a solid OS, its just not for people who want a phone only. If you have a WM phone, you have many features at your fingertips, just have to know how to use them. The camera is amazing, 5 megapixels is very good. I like the options included. But like I said before the low resolution screen does not present the photos to their full quality. Overall a very solid phone, and perhaps the best WM phone offered by Verizon."

"I really love the functionality of the phone, particularly with the updated ROM from Verizon. The only issue I have with the phone is that the virtual keyboard is still tough but I'm managing. Beyond that I've really put it through the paces, downloading apps, twitter, facebook and four e-mail accounts including exchange and MS MyPhone and it performs pretty well. If only a real keyboard, perhaps a Rogue next time. Oh and I'd love it if Samsung or Verizon upgraded me to WM 6.5 to save more battery life! Thanks!"

"This phone works very well, seems faster then other Windows phones, hasn't locked up, and has a real slim design. The 5 MP camera and 8GB built in RAM are wonderful features not yet seen in other models! Also the price was much less than other models

Overall I am very happy with the purchase but there are a few things I don't like.

The stylus hangs on a tether.--Come on Samsung, make the stylus go into the phone like all the others. This is my biggest gripe of the phone. When making a call it bangs against the phone. I remedied this by attaching it to my case.

A few more hard buttons would be nice.

There are no LED's

It includes a USB cable but NOT a charging USB cable. Data+Charging USB cables are available but it should have been included.

A slide out keyboard would be nice.

Standard headphone and USB jacks would be nice."

"I went to the mobile phone store with my heart set on buying another phone the more popular Blackberry, Looking at all the phones while waiting for an employee i saw it and i knew it's what i wanted instead. First thing that got me was the Windows OS, Than it had an amazing 5 mega pix camera! The pic quality is amazing, you take a pic and it is so unbelievably crisp and clear. It is a very good looking phone. And the (What i call out of habit) Desktop, Is good looking and convenient. The phone has a few things i would change though, It is a bit slow at times, It got over-loaded on the first day and i didn't know what to do. it was so slow it took forever to get anything done to get to the task manger. It's a bit touchy. Not enough apps. This is a phone that takes some time getting used to, learning all the option and what not, But i think as a lover of tech. It's all the fun of having a phone of this caliber. If you want something easy to use were you just want to turn it on and make a call and that's it, than this one's not for you. If you love options,stunning looks and a phone that works for you this is it. I'm not a pro writer so if there is mistakes than O'Well. Enjoy if i was you i would bye this!"

"For several years I have carried both a cell phone and a Windows Mobile iPAQ. All the while I was looking for a device to combine the two in a convenient, user friendly package. The Omnia has ended my search. It has a nearly seamless interface with my Outlook contact, calendar, tasks and notes database. All of my Win Mobile applications moved onto the device without any problems, a tribute to both Samsung & Microsoft. Windows voice command works!
If the device were a ¼ - 3/8 inch wider and had a “parkable stylus” it would be almost complete. Wish Verizon would unlock the internal GPS antenna for use with GPS software other than VZ Navigator."

"I was skeptical at first of a full touchscreen phone with no hard keyboard because I do a lot of typing on it and I am 100% satisfied with the feel and response of the touch keyboard. The phone is super sleek and professional looking. The Omnia has a ton of awesome features including the 5mp camera with a panarama shot, 8 gb of internal memory, and built in card reader which is awesome for business. Also internet surfing is a peice of cake. I also like how you can customize the today screen which allows me to utilize my phone all from the main screen without having to dig through a ton of applications to open just one. The phone doesn't need a stylus because everything is so touch friendly. I only have a few minor quirks I didn't like about the phone but it is mostly software mishaps which will probably be fixed with an upgrade shortly. Only other thing you really can't blame on the phone is for Verizon to release the GPS without making the customers pay for it. Other than that the phone is a definite must have. I recommend it to anyone!!!"

Digital music player excellent. Web browsing very liveable using tap zoom very good. Email sync excellent. Screen resolution very good.

Cons: Battery life not so great for a high quality SmartPhone especially if WIFI is enabled. Motion Sensor touchy no matter what setting you choose. VZW has locked down the GPS for VZNav only. Auto fill text needs onboard dictionary that user can add words.
Proprietary USB connector forces user to use a clunky adapter to listen on headphones if Omnia needs charging. Radio use headphone only as it is the antenna."

Samsung Omnia I

PostedJanuary 7, 2011

"This phone is good for the 1st 6 months than after that it goes goofy on you. I have owned two of them in the last yr and half and would of been three but I decided to bite the bullet and wait for Samsung Fascinate since my contract isn't up yet and didn't want to even mess around with the Samsung Omnia II. Even a king has it's bad days and you can't expect them to be completely flawless. I imagine that new Fascinate is the bomb !!!!!"

"I am so sorry I chose this phone and I still have to live with it for another year. The battery doesn't last, very few apps. touch screen is tempramental. Stay away from this phone, I wish I had. Maybe it's Verizon, but all I know is I wish I could trade in this phone today."

Great idea poorly executed

PostedNovember 5, 2009

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedNovember 5, 2009

"I'm an on-the-road salesman, so I'm probably more critical than most, but Windows Mobile is perhaps the worst OS I've seen. Miserable battery life, a 600+MHz processor responds this slowly (!?), etc. Too many peeves to expand, but I will NOT buy a WM phone again. Samsung did an admirable job with features included with the Omnia, but should have chosen a different OS.

If you depend on a cell phone for your job, look for a non-WM device."

Phone falls WAY short of expectations

PostedDecember 1, 2009

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedDecember 1, 2009

"After having had this phone for nearly a year, I'm sad to say that it has turned a once loyal Samsung buyer into a disgruntled one, esp. when coupled with issues I had with the Gleam. I had high hopes that this phone would be a great alternative to a Blackberry or the iPhone, but it falls way short.

Positives: 1) slim, light shape. 2) Decent screen viewing ability. 3) Reasonable navigation. 4) Good call quality and signal strength in many areas 5) Decent ring tones

Negatives (many!): 1) Poorly designed memory management functions - cannot change level of memory allocated for programs. 2) TERRIBLE touch screen - very inaccurate and prone to freezes or hyper-sensitivity, no middle ground, despite many recalibrations; on screen keyboard is difficult to use for normal sized male fingers. 3) Battery life is atrocious - lucky to get 3/4's of a day in light use, or 2-3 hours at best in heavy use; no extended main battery is a major detraction and Samsung deliberately designed a defeat for non-OEM expanded batteries, preventing them from being able to be charged in the phone. 4) Cannot remove SD card without taking out battery and cover. 5) Extremely annoying navigation/screen magnification feature that gets in the way of web page viewing, doesn't enhance it because it comes on too easily"

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Poor Delivery

PostedNovember 13, 2009

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedNovember 13, 2009

"When I bought my I760 from Samsung it was the best PDA and the best phone I have had in 20 years of using cell phones and many many years of using PDA's. The phone was a little sluggish and PDA reader for email was a hassle. Otherwise it was great.

The Verizon salesman talked me into the Omnia when it came out. I have used it for 6 months now, and hate it so much I will be throwing it in the drawer and going back to my i760.

It is unbelievably sluggish and slow. Difficult to maneuver unless you have a stylis, loaded with bugs, has to be reset every couple of days, poor battery life, features that are somewhat useless.

As a very loyal Samsung customer (you would think I was their posterboy if you came into my office) I am very disappointed. The functionality is so bad, I don't know if I will ever buy another Samsung phone or PDA."

Doesn't work

PostedMay 26, 2009

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedMay 26, 2009

"The phone was great but slowly started failing to wake up the screen until the battery was popped out and then replaced, then once in a while it would fail to charge saying something about the temperature. Now it absolutely refuses to charge but will work w/ another batterty from a friend's Omnia. What's the point of a phone if you can't turn it on unless your friend charges your battery for you?

The camera was absolutely great. I had replaced my standalone camera with it. I also found the little mouse thing on the front to be a huge help. The only big problem with it before it started not working was that you will not be able to see the screen at all in moderate sunlight. That and the GPS is disabled in software."

"This phone has a great design, but it does not work. the camera is great but the speed stinks. the web browser is very combersome the program scroll feature is the worst. if you want to scrolt to the middle or bottom it will open 4 other programs along the way. i have to restart it every day. the word completion feature works when it wants to, more not than anything. i came from the i760 which was a very good phone. my bluetooth has to be reinstalled every day. to you could not watch a video with this because fo the jumpy speeds. no apps availible, i got a big list and a phone that has high hopes but can not deliver."
