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.

Way too expensive! The right price of Omnia should be not more than 30000

It is not only too expensive but the most used features are availble on othes phones like n95 at half the price. the feature like touch screen are not that useful and also make the phone fragile. the software part is never to be taken that seriously as the symbian phones like n95 have lot of flexibility because of third party softwares.

way too expensive, all the same features and infact more features are available at around Rs.14,000 on ASUS handsets.................... The company is just trying to make money out of nothing.................

Looks like a good phone but insanely priced. This is where all the competitors to Nokia lose out. Nokia are supremely smart in their pricing and its not a surprise that they are the market leaders. HTC phones sport as many features as this phone for less than half the price (HTC's weakness is imaging though. their cams always suck whereas samsung's cam phones are stunning)

damn damn more than they are taking against they giving us a features....n95 & htc has all the features excluding touch screen and it's so-called 8 MP of camera...if you buy a 15 MP high definition camcorder from market with n95....i really don't thing so,it's price would be not far more than omnia....so.better to buy n95 or new arrival of samsung which is star 3G is far more better than this stupidly rated phone...it's just my opinion now it's depending on you...because i have saved my self from this big crater .......
