oH MY oMNia!

just bought a fone for a reason. or a bunch of reasons rather . .
taken from www.intomobil.com . . they have discussions comparing the apple iphone and the samsung omnia . .
just to make things clear, i dont have anything against the iphone.
what i just obscenely dislike are those mac users that thinks like mac is always better in everything.
its for your usage that counts. pound for pound, features against features, u be the judge as to what is better.
at the price which is almost the same, lets see who had a better deal. here it goes . . .


Which of your iphone-beaters have:

Built-in wi-fi that runs faster than the iphone’s?
Which phone opens Word, Excel and PDF file attachments?
Weigh less than 5 ounces?
Which of them are thinner than 0.5″?
Which have built-in GPS?
Which can I install 500 different apps into?
Which can I write my own code for?
Which phone has more than 16 BILLION bytes of ram?
Which have a better browser than Safari?
Which have 100 accessories that I can buy at stores all over the world?
Which phones cost less than $199?
Which have multi-touch screens bigger than 3.5″?
Which phone sells more than 1 million units… in 1 weekend?

I thought so.

Don’t get me wrong… I would *LOVE* to see 10 different companies making
phones that have all those features. I’m just not seeing them over the past
1-2 years. Maybe they’ll get on the ball in 2009 or 2010????
(Of course… they will STILL be trying to play catch-up to the Iphone v3.0)

What are they waiting for???

There’s a reason why we are seeing so many companies/phones that are desperately trying
to look like the iPhone: They are trying to *BE* the iPhone. (Or you can just, simply
buy the actual iPhone instead.)

Built-in wi-fi that runs faster than the iphone’s?
- The Samsung i900 Omnia… Check with youtube comparisons

Which phone opens Word, Excel and PDF file attachments?
- Every windows mobile device - AND they can edit them to…

Weigh less than 5 ounces?
Oh yeah… Cause my pants just drop right off, if my phone weighs more than that…

Which of them are thinner than 0.5″?
Well, according to these pictures, the dimensions are quite similar…

Which have built-in GPS?
Again… The samsung i900 omnia… (wich supports as good as every mobile GPS applications to…)

Which can I install 500 different apps into?
Well, NO OS’s for mobile devices has a larger portfolio of app’s than windows mobile… I don’t know the actual number, but I think 10.000 is setting it low…

Which can I write my own code for?
Again… WIndows mobile devices… Or anything that runs Java…

Which phone has more than 16 BILLION bytes of ram?
Seems your calculator (from the iPhone? :P) is malfunctioning. And just to talk in language, people understand, both the samsung i900 omnia and the iPhone 3G has 128 MB RAM.

Which have a better browser than Safari?
Again… Omnia. The Safari browser does absolutely nothing, the Opera 9.5 browser doesn’t. And it even plays flv’s. (Youtube style videos - just not only youtube).

Which have 100 accessories that I can buy at stores all over the world?
… Didn’t i just menchion how many applications you can get for windows mobile…?

Which phones cost less than $199?
Price? - Well, sincer the omnia hasn’t been released at this point, I won’t try to argue… But I think I’ll afford it…

Which have multi-touch screens bigger than 3.5″?
Multi-touch screen… You’re right… That’s the ONE thing the iPhone has… Is it nescessary? - Does it make anything easier than the TouchWiz system? -Think not…

Which phone sells more than 1 million units… in 1 weekend?
Hmmm… Just to answer your question, Nokia sells 1,5 million devices every 24 hours… But then again, I don’t think these numbers has anything to do with wich mobile is the better choice, compared to advertisement…

So that’s basically 1 point for the iPhone, and 5 for the Omnia. And that’s just from YOUR arguments… Lets not forget about the camera…

So… Wich mobile packs a 5 MP, autofocus, flashenabled, face -and smilerecognizing camera, compared to the iPhones 2MP, not even autofocusing, video incompatible camera, with no lighting what so ever?
- The Samsung i900 Omnia.

…And why is everything starting to be compared to the iPhone… It’s really not that special… No flash, autofocus, only 2 MP Camera, no bluetooth file exchange, no MMS, no video… I really don’t see the big fuzz… It doesn’t do ANYTHING this phone don’t… And I could say the same for the HTC Touch Diamond or Pro, or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1…

When all that is said, I DO believe, that the iPhone has a bright feature, in a couple of generations, once they catch up on the specs…
