Hey all, sorry it has taken so long to get some quick first impressions up but I have been busy. So on to the device.
The Omnia is my first Windows Mobile device so I will try making sure I understand as much of it as I can before I publish a review but so far on the Omnia I am not impressed.
Samsung has tried hard to put a "skin" over top of the GUI to make it more touch friendly and it has. It has succeeded in making only a couple menus finger friendly while the majority of them are still small and hard to hit.
The addition of haptic feedback (vibrating when you touch the screen) is a plus to an extent. Sometimes it vibrates but doesn't always register the touch. It may take a couple tries.
Video playback is nice with the default DIVX support but not all my files worked. I will try many different things before I publish a review.
Texting is nice with the horizontal QWERTY keyboard but there are times when it is frustrating because once again there is vibration to alert you that you hit a key. So I then assume it registered the key press and move on to the next letter when it in fact didn't. The result is lots of deleting.
So there are my initial impressions, I hope to have a review up after I have used it for a little while longer. If anyone has questions or things that you want me to try, leave a comment.
