Verizon Brings Samsung Omnia i910 with Windows Mobile

The iPhone is under “heavy fire” as another fierce competitor has just been released, namely the Omnia i910. This particular device could represent an alternative to the BlackBerry Storm or the iPhone for those that prefer more variety in mobile choices.

The i910 is a slate designed device, equipped with a 3.2'' haptic feedback (240x400 pixel) TFT 65k touchscreen display, and as few buttons as possible. This phone also boasts numerous advanced features, such as full HTML web browser with flash support, Visual Voice Mail, 32MB of RAM memory and 64MB of ROM memory for the actual phone, and 128MB of RAM and 256MB of ROM for the PDA, and many others that will probably help this new release build up a solid reputation.

Going even further into the technical details of this Samsung, we find the Wi-Fi, GPS-VZ navigator, Bluetooth A2DP, 3G connectivity, an optical mouse and motion sensor, the 8GB internal memory or the microSD slot for cards of up to 16GB as noticeable capabilities that place this device high up the appreciation ladder.

Adding the 5 Megapixel, LED flash, face detection and panorama mode camera, plus the TouchWiz UI and the fact that it runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS, we almost get the full picture that Omnia's manufacturer tried to paint for us with the creation of this device.

Also taking into consideration the fairly appealing design and the fact that it weighs 123g, while its measurements are not at all disappointing, it could be regarded as a potential threat to all other devices of its kind.

As a Verizon-branded device, the i910 is available online as of today, whereas Verizon Wireless will be offering it probably starting December 8 for $249.99 (with a $70 in-mail rebate) with a two-year contract.
