samsung omnia hd i8910

The Omnia HD does everything fine, and a few things extremely well.

Video playback is top notch and widely compatible, the camera is among the best
we ever seen on a cellphone, and the video recording can actually hang with a lot of pocket cams, like the Flip or Kodak Zi series. On all other counts the phone never falls flat, but it never really shines, either.

Functionally, though, it holds up fine: The browser could be easier to navigate with,
but renders with WebKit, supports Flash and generally does its job. Same goes for pretty
much everything else: The experience could be smoother, but you'd be hard pressed to find
a task that the HD explicitly can't handle. And if you do find a gap, remember that this is full Symbian,so you can always go app hunting. As dumb as the UI can be, don't be fooled into thinking this is a dumbphone: It can do pretty much anything an Android or Windows Mobile phone can, and sometimes even more—it's just that sometimes, it's painfully awkward.


The Hardware:
Your first impression of the Omnia HD is that it's big, but that's not really fair:
It's a tall device, but it's not meaningfully larger than any of the other popular touchscreen
phones on the market today—it's just proportioned differently (see the gallery below for comparison).inside, it's reasonably thin. Speaking of guts: It's got HSDPA (on European bands),GPS, 8-16GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, and 8MP, 720p-recording camera sensor,a built-in flash bulb, a forward-facing video camera, USB connector and a 3.5mm jack.The lack of HDMI-out is semi-replaced by DLNA network streaming, though it's not really an even trade. At any rate, it's a healthy phone, hardware-wise.

The Software:
This is where things fall apart a little.Wherever the Omnia HD's hardware shines—along with the kickass camera,it can handle HD video playback in plenty of codecs—the software is fine.The camera interface and media playback interfaces, music and video,are never distracting and usually do what you expect. Everything else? That's a different story.

Decent audio output

The Omnia HD demonstarted passable audio output, getting commendable scores on several of the readings in our traditional audio quality test. We have certainly seen better performers but things aren't hopeless with the Samsung i8910 either.The most notable problem with the Omnia HD audio quality is its shaky frequency response and cut-off bass frequencies.The intermodulation distortion is also slightly higher than average.On the positive side the noise level, the dynamic range and the stereo crosstalk readings are excellent.The total harmonic distortion extremely low value is also commendable achievement.

Web browser has Flash video and all the works

The Samsung i8910 Omnia HD web browser is a fully functional application that would have used somewhat more user-friendly interface. The Flash support is cool and so is the kinetic scrolling.To zoom in and out of a page you drag a small slider in the top right corner. The actual zooming is a bit unresponsive and quite slower than we would have liked it to be. To avoid zooming this way at all is by double-tapping a specific part of the web page. Zooming that way is sometimes a hit and miss thing as the web browser fails to fit the text on screen.At least the page rendering algorithm is quite good, making all the pages look as if browsed from a desktop computer. The high resolution is also a welcome bonus here, as it allows more content to fit on the screen. Finally, the web browser has support for both Flash and Java, which means that you can enjoy flash videos straight from your browser without having to use the mobile versions of sites like YouTube or a dedicated client applications.

memory:

And here comes the Omnia HD with its 256 MB DRAM,

providing almost 140 MB free RAM with the system fully loaded and running, which is almost THREE TIMES MORE than the N97.It does not need further comments....

processors:

So, what's so special about it? Let the specifications speak for themselves.

Texas Instruments OMAP3430 (made in 65 nm technology) is a dual-core processor

(which means that it contains an ARM host CPU and one or more DSPs) consisting of

ARM Cortex A8 application processor running at 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530 GPU

(graphics acceleration processor) and TMS320C64x DSP/ISP (Digital/Image Signal Processor taking care of telephony, data transmission, image processing, etc) running at 430 MHz. Sounds too complicated? Too compare, the N97 is based on a single-core processor running at 434 MHz (i.e. 164 MHz / 27% less) having to do all the work by itself, as it does not contain GPU for graphics acceleration,nor the remaining accelerators. This should give you an idea of how much more powerful the OMAP3430 is.

Key features:

-3.7-inch 16M-color capacitive AMOLED touchscreen, 640 x 360 pixels

-Symbian S60 5th edition with TouchWiz 3D UI

samsung omnia (sgh-i900)

if you wish to have everuthing in just one mobile,than this all in one is something you should take a look at we are talking about the iphone killer,omnia that means `everything' in latin and `wish' in arabic.


`samsung omnia is samsungs flagship model aimed at users who desires a lot of functionality,a lot of style,alot of usability and alot of entertainment in one inovative device.samsung omnia will help user to be at the forefront of workand play and at the same time stay connected anytime,anywhere.'
samsung Omnia looks and feels solid. The 3.2-inch touchscreen dominates the front of the handset with call answer and end keys, plus a touch sensitive optical mouse pointer below it.

The biggest flaw of the Omnia though is that the handset runs on Windows Mobile. Although currently there's no smartphone alternative operating system until Symbian launches a touchscreen version, you just can't get over the irritation of having to use Windows Mobile.

Samsung has done very well to hide the OS with its own skin, replacing the somewhat antiquated icons with something a little more colourful, but there are still huge defects with the speed at which anything happens.

Most apps take three or four seconds to load up which is disappointing when you compare it to say, the iPhone, or even a non-touchscreen Symbian device. The Photoslide photo album viewer and media album are possibly the most irritating applications on the phone. Loading up pictures is fine, but zooming in and exploring the image closeup is just painful. Photos take ages to 'process' and until then the images are just pixelated shots. The accelerometer is just as sluggish too.
Typing on the device is quite a task, but with a staggering seven different input modes including a Windows keyboard, a Samsung keyboard (with slightly bigger keys), three handwriting recognition functions and two keypad options, you're sure to find one you can get on with. You'll have to use the stylus rather than your finger though because the interface of all options doesn't cater for finger operation.
Where TouchWiz really shines, though, is with the Today screen's widget bar. It's brilliant, it's useful, and we're going to miss it on any phone that doesn't have it or something like it. The concept is simple enough: a collapsible bar on the left side of the display presents you with a pretty wide selection of information and / or control widgets that can be dragged onto the background and placed however you choose. There's a pretty good variety of widgets available from the get-go, but we'd love to see Samsung release new ones or market an API very, very hard to developers to get them to create widgets of their own.

Oh, notice that mouse pointer up there? Yep, the Omnia borrows the optical d-pad concept from the i780, which can be used in a traditional four-way mode or turned into a desktop-style mouse. We were skeptical of the whole thing -- and maybe we're crazy, but we ended up loving it in mouse mode. We got used to it quickly, we didn't really think that it was slowing us down much, and it essentially negates the need for a stylus for those times when a finger just won't do (like those pesky "X" and "ok" buttons in the upper right of apps, for example).


We wish we had the same love for the soft keyboards. Samsung provides its own input methods to override Windows Mobile's own, a QWERTY and a SureType-style deal. No complaints there -- the default ones have to go. Sadly, we ended up hating both; of course, your mileage may vary. The keys on the QWERTY were too narrow to be reliably and consistently pressed accurately and there was no pop-up to indicate what key was actually being pressed until we'd already pressed it. The auto-correction is annoying, overbearing, frequently wrong, and implemented in stupid places like Opera Mobile's address bar (try typing "engadget.com" -- we dare you). SureType, on the other hand... well, it's SureType, which we've always found challenging to use. Pearl owners may disagree.
In the final analysis, despite its faults, the Omnia's strengths vault it to the head of the WinMo class for the moment, particularly in this form factor. We think that a slide-out QWERTY version would do very well for Samsung as well -- as would a true world 3G model, of course

samsung m8800pixon

Touchscreen phones are nothing new, though they were a rage two years back when there were few touchscsreens available in the market. Today however, there are lots of touchscreen models available in the market and that too over a varied price range. You could get one for as low as 8k or go as high as say 40k. My experience with touchscreens is that none offers anything exhilarating under 25k, but Samsung proved me wrong with their latest offering.Yes, I am referring to the M8800 aka the Pixon, another 8 MP camera phone by Samsung after the Innov8 (reviewed in 2008). While Innov8's price was a bit on the higher-side, the Pixon offers high-end features coupled with amazing performance for just around the 25k mark.

Samsung M8800 Pixon gets its kick from touchscreen and imaging and hopes to be the definitive cameraphone. The inspired TouchWiz interface and massive screen are the right gateway to getting the 8 megapixel camera and real high-end video unleashed. The Pixon obviously plays second fiddle to the INNOV8 in the Samsung portfolio but dares to challenge it in the imaging department. Picture this

Ergonomics and overall design of the phone is good; all controls are intuitively placed and fall right under the hand. Other than the dedicated call receive/end and menu buttons on the front, volume, gallery and shutter keys are placed on the right edge, while a hold key that locks the phone's display and a shortcut key for mini menu have been placed on the left. The center key under the display works as a back key and a press on the end call key takes you back to the main menu.

Key features:

• 3.2" 256K-color TFT LCD touchscreen display of WQVGA resolution
• 8 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and lens protection
• Camera geo-tagging, auto-panorama shot, face, smile and blink detection, digital image stabilization
• WVGA video recording at 30fps
• Slimmest 8MP phone
• 3G with HSDPA support
• Quad-band GSM support
• GPS receiver
• microSD card slot
• DivX, XviD and MP4 video player
• SRS (Surround Sound System) Virtual 5.1CH
• TV out functionality
• FM radio with RDS
• Bluetooth and USB v2.0
• 200 MB internal memory
• Landscape on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard
• Accelerometer sensor
• Multitasking
• Office document viewer
• ShoZu integration (direct image and video uploads)

Main disadvantages:

• No Wi-Fi connectivity
• No voice-guided GPS navigation
• Stylus as dongle only, no stylus compartment
• No smart dialing

The Pixon clearly belongs to one of the two schools of thought in the Samsung 5 to 8MP cameraphone sample. There the ironclad Soul-flavored devices rub shoulders with the huge touchscreens of the Tocco line.

The Pixon humbly gives the smart INNOV8 a bow of respect and suffices with topping the line of full-touch and multimedia gadgets. Now, given our admiration for the F480 Tocco, the Pixon can count on a fair and respectful welcome but that won't make us soft or too forgiving.

Those looking for a multimedia touchscreen phone, but don't need Wi-Fi connectivity can look at this. Else, at the same price, you can get the HTC Touch Diamond (powered by Windows Mobile 6.1), but it has a smaller screen and only a 3.2MP camera. Or you could also consider the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music for 19k MOP, which offers the same screen size, more connectivity features and runs the latest Symbian S60 v5 OS (although it only has a 3.2 MP camera).

Design and Build Quality:

The Samsung M8800 Pixon has a very nice and stylish design. It is officially the slimmest 8 MP camera phone available at a width of just 13.8 mm. The overall dimensions of 107.9 x 54.6 x 13.8 mm are very nice and ensure that the Samsung M8800 just 121 gms which is decent compared to the features it comes packed with. The full black body sports a clean and minimal design with just the huge screen in the front along with a few control buttons - Call, End and the earpiece, secondary cam and the ambient light sensor. The right side hosts the camera key, dedicated gallery key and the volume rocker. On the left, you find the hold key, shortcut menu key and the microSD card slot. The top features the connectivity port while the bottom sports the mouthpiece and the lanyard eyelet. On the back of the phone lies the star attraction - the 8 MP camera and the accompanying LED flash. The build quality of the M8800 is superb with the body made partly of metal and partly of plastic. The M8800 Pixon seems to be very durable and should easily last for more than a couple of years without any hiccups.

The Samsung Pixon will completely satisfy those who are tired of camera-phones which look like cameras but have only a passing resemblance to a camera’s functions.

Display:

The Samsung M8800 Pixon sports a 3.2? TFT touchscreen display which supports upto 262K colors and a WQVGA resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The display quality is superb with great brightness and contrast levels. It produces vibrant images with rich colors. The sunlight legibility is also very nice. The touchscreen also performs upto expectations. It is very responsive and has superb sensitivity. The haptic feedback provided is good. The screen can also be calibrated to increase the accuracy.

User Interface:

The Samsung M8800 Pixon sports an improved version of the very famous TouchWiz UI earlier seen in the Samsung F480. The version in the M8800 Pixon is a very refined version with increased performance. It is fast and responsive, having cleared most of the problems that plagued the earlier version of TouchWiz. The UI on a whole is very intuitive and easy to use. It also supports multitasking wherein you can run many tasks simultaneously and switch between them. You can also customize your home screen with ‘widgets’.

The Samsung M8800 Pixon sports a range of connectivity features like GPRS Class 10, EDGE Class 10, 3G HSDPA 7.2 MBPS, USB v2.0 and Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP. It lacks Wi-Fi but that is understandable as it isn’t aimed at the business class.

The Pixon does its main job quite well - the call reception quality is great and the built in loudspeaker adequate for most instances. The volume is superb and the quality too. The Samsung M8800 Pixon is powered by a 1000 mAh Li ion battery which has a rated talk time of 3 hrs and 40 mins. It should easily last for about two days on a single charge with moderate usage.
