The highly rumored Samsung i900 is finally unveiled by Samsung..called Samsung i900 Omnia.
Based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, the Samsung i900 offers a 3.2-inch WideQVGA display (240 x 400 pixels) and an optical mouse much like the one found in the Samsung i780. Camera-wise the Samsung i900 Omnia is one helluva amibitious handset - offering a 5 megapixel auto focus snapper with face and smile detection plus auto-panorama shot. Geotagging is also among the camera features since the i900 also packs a built-in GPS receiver.
As style has it, the Samsung i900 Omnia waistline is only 12.5mm and the brushed metal back certainly adds to its refined looks. That figure along with the other dimensions makes it rather identical to the Apple iPhone. Most importantly the i900 shares with the iPhone the same massive internal memory - both an 8GB and a 16GB i900 versions will be available with the microSD still present for further expanding those with up to 16 gigs worth of storage.
The specs sheet of the Samsung i900 is then boosted by the quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support plus HSDPA 7.2Mbps. Thanks to the built-in accelerometer, the UI automatically rotates to follow the handset's current orientation. Wi-Fi support is also on board to make the i900 sound even juicier.
The USB port, FM radio with RDS and stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) are among the final touches to this loaded PocketPC.
And since touch-optimization is of critical importance when you strive to compete with Apple's iPhone, Samsung have also ported their TouchWiz user interface for use on Windows Mobile. We saw that Touch UI for the first time on the Samsung F480 and we surely enjoyed it.
The Samsung i900 Omnia will be market available from June 2008 (Europe - July 2008), which also coincides with the projected availability of the new 3G iPhone.

The only let down in this device is only lack of hardware keyboard

Very nice, but the icons look horrible in the last picture.
Sadly, like most of samsung's latest phones, it'll probably cost 500-800$ (IE. G810, F480...) |

According to the specs online Samsung i900 & Anycall i908 has the same specs, but look at this youtube video of the i908 about half way though you see him pull out the built in aerial and use a TV. What going on.

This is the true iphone killer IMO they just need to better the screen resolution that as different as it is...is inadequate.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm a bit skeptical because it's a Samsung.

i almost bought an i780 because it has great value for money considering it's specs and features. this new wm smartphone is great imo. the lack of qwerty keyboard has some drawbacks but being an ipaq ppc user, i think i can live without the keyboard. |
