Samsung Omnia

I may finally have found my "all-in-one" device. This seems to be something I have been looking for for a long time now and it seems to deliever.


The Samsung Omnia sports a 3.2" with haptic feedback, a 5 Megapixel camera (Finally a good camera in a phone with a large screen!), and a QWERTY keyboard. These are things that I look for in a good device. Usually I must make a compromise for one thing or another. I watch a lot of movies on my phones in the past and I really enjoyed the experience. I didn't mind the 2.8" screen of the N95 but it sure as heck wasn't any iPhone screen so this finally seems to be a compromise of the two.

Also what I think is excellent is being able to text with a QWERTY keyboard. Sure it is on screen, not hardware, but it does have haptic feedback and I text a lot and I really do hate T9 with a standard phone keypad. As well the 5 megapixel camera is a huge bonus. Great point and shoot.



The Samsung Omnia, my phone, my PMP, my camera, my all in one device. Nothing is perfect but this seems to be the best compromise. I was initially looking at the Sony Xperia but the Samsung has a better camera and a screen that is 0.2" bigger, and when you're coming from a small screen world, every little inch counts.
