14 DAY TRIAL // One of the latest handsets touted as an “iPhone killer,” namely Samsung Omnia SGH-i900, is now available across India, offering Indian mobile users the chance to enjoy its high-end capabilities and its refined design.
Measuring only 112 x 56.9 x 12.5 millimeters, Samsung Omnia features about everything an advanced user could desire from a mobile device: a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels and 256K colors, a 5 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash, image stabilizer and video recording, GPS, Wi-Fi, accelerometer, full HTML browser, email, document viewer and editor, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, TV out, Music and Video players, FM Radio with RDS, USB 2.0 and so on. The handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, and comes with 8GB or 16GB of internal memory.
“Samsung Omnia is our flagship model aimed at users who desire a lot of functionality, a lot of style, a lot of usability and a lot of entertainment in one innovative device. Samsung Omnia will help users to be at the forefront of work and play and at the same time, to stay connected anytime, anywhere," declared Mr. Sunil Dutt, Country Head at Samsung Telecom India. "Omnia is for people who expect the ultimate from their mobile devices and who don't compromise on their desires. All functions of this device including amazing video quality are to be experienced to be believed as they set the next benchmark in the industry."
The retail price of Samsung Omnia is not one that every mobile user can afford, but this shouldn't be a surprise. The 8GB version of the handset costs 37,999 INR (around 810 USD), while the 16GB one is priced at 39,999 INR (855 USD). The cool thing is that Samsung is offering both of Omnia's versions together with a 16GB memory card, hence you will get to have 24GB and respectively 32GB of storage space.
