  Este telefono es precioso en cuanto a su diseño (muy delgado y elegante), sus funciones y programas son muy utiles. En fin me encanta su funcionalidad y diseño.
  
  El problema esta en que su caja o “housing”, es muy delicada, se raya facilmente y hasta se rompe su pintura con facilidad, mas si utilizas el “stylus” amarrado a un lado del telefono, este lo golpeo constantemente y proboca este problema.
  
  Recomiendo conprarle un “case” para que no se dañe. Yo he tenido que comprar un “Housing” y un “case” para que no se me dañe el nuevo. En USA no venden el “Housing” tuve que comprarlo en Hong Kong.

  I am glad I bought this phone. I fell in love with it since I got it out of the box.

  PROS:

  * Slim design, executive look
  
  * Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (great improvement)
  
  * AGPS. 100% accurate when you choose My Location. Associated with
  
  google maps is an A+. (Why pay for something that is already part of the
  
  phone…That goes for you VERIZON!!!!).
  
  * Opera Browser works great (sorry Internet Explorer)
  
  * Touchscreen is very responsive (if you do not want screen to vibrate,
  
  you can disable it in SETTINGS.
  
  * Stylus, I do not use it. my fingers do the job excellent.
  
  * Push E-Mail. I get all my emails from work, POP accounts, Gmail, (which
  
  is already integrated in the phone), and of course windows live
  
  messenger.
  
  * Video player is very good, good resolution, great audio. (One thing
  
  I dicovered today is that I can listen to Internet radio, WOW!!)
  
  * My 5 Faves…NOT REALLY, but keep reading, (in this case 4 faves, yes, one of the widgets lets you add 4
  
  people you call the most just like my five faves.) I am using my Omnia
  
  with T-mobile and this came very handy.)
  
  * Microsoft Office, YES! you have Excel, Word, Power Point. All 3 are
  
  mobile version, you can read and edit any documents as you wish. you
  
  also can read .pdf files, isn’t that something?? you will love this
  
  phone.

  CONS:

  * I personaly, don’t have any negative comments on this phone, but I will
  
  mention one that I know bothers some people out there, that is:

  NO 3G Network compatibility in the USA. This phone was made exclusively
  
  for Asia and Europe and their 3G works on a different band. But I tell
  
  you one thing, Internet over EDGE is very good, so I really don’t care
  
  at all about 3G speed. So keep this in mind….NO 3G in the USA.

  Over All, this is a great phone. you will have to take your time to play with it to find all its features and how to make them work for you. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t get it to work the way you want the first time. It took me a good week to figure this phone out and now I am very excited I chose this phone. Iphone is a thing of the past, which I never had but my friends have it and some of them are not too happy with it, plus, they got stuck in a contract. Here you don’t have to do that.

  Thank you SAMSUNG for this phone.

  I have include this link called Omnia i900 – The Whole Nine Yards
  
  This will make you take a final decision to get this phone or not.
  
  Hope it helps, like it helped me to get this phone

  The phone has a few issues with the plasma screen if the sun is around the screen can’t be seen. The signal is kind of weak but that could be a regional problem. The touch screen is not that great you have to use the pointer stick to sometimes use the icons. Your finger can’t sometimes work on the screen. The phone is great but in time it will upgrade with better features.

  First, I bought this phone thinking that it would resolve the problems I was having with my treo 750…HA! It has created more problems than solutions. Touch screen doesn’t respond as you would expect and as stated in other reviews the widgets are small and sometimes hard to manage.
  
  I was so excited to get this phone, windows mobile 6, great internet, email, on and on. It states in the phone review that this phone is compatable with microsoft voice command. That isn’t the case, at least not for my i900. I used voice command with my treo 750 and it worked great so I just assumed it would work with the i900…it does not. So while you can receive calls thru the blue tooth headset, you can not make a call and that is huge for me. This is definitely a big negative.
  
  It won’t send picture messages as advertised, at least not with T-mobile. Texting and email work fine. If the email is set up correctly thru your phone service it works great and you can either receive emails automatically, set it up to retrieve them every few hours or get them when manually requested .
  
  I guess that if I had done a better job of researching the pros and cons of purchasing a phone made in Asia, I might have waited. You won’t get any help from Samsung USA as they just give you the excuse that since the phone is European, they do not support it in the US. As a matter of fact, you get that excuse almost anywhere you turn for support.

  I’ll start by saying I’m happy with this phone, it does have good looks, works great as a PDA, but need some work as a phone. In short:

  Pros

  1. Camera (with smiley option )
  
  2. GPS
  
  3. Radio (with save feature)
  
  4. Touchscreen

  Cons

  1. The caller id shows who is calling, but why does it has to be so small when u have this neat big screen
  
  2. I already lost my stylus, it shouldn’t be that hard to find a place to put it, the HTC already solved it.

  Overall the hardware is great, but the software needs some work.

  Just be patient while you learn to use it. But then you just enjoy it a lot. It’s better than iphone and other smart phones because it has office applications Samsung i900 Omnia Unlocked Phone with 8 GB Memory, 5 MP Camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Windows Mobile 6.1, and MicroSD Slot–International Version with No Warranty (Black)

  It is a great phone, but it has so many features that I decided to sell it, because I prefer a simpler one and it has a disadvantage: I am a big guy with big fingers and I had to use the stylus to enter digits when dialing a call, because if I used my fingers, i dialed the wrong digit, even on the horizontal view. It is more focused for using stylus (witch I dont like, and it does not come inside the phone, but hanging from a lanyard), or for woman with nails.
  
  It is great, but not suited for me.

  So far phone works perfectly. Crashed a few times, but nothing a reset didn’t fix and there was no data loss.

  Only issue I have with this phone is that you’ll need to find a better 3rd party GPS that works without the internet since I don’t have a data plan in my country for the phone, so getting the internet all the time can be expensive. If you have an unlimited data plan then you wont have anything to worry about.

  All features on the phone work well. The Samsung keyboard took a little getting used to since it had XT9 but once you figure out how to disable it then you’ll be fine since having word completion can be a bit annoying at times.

  The Transcriber feature is really good, but there should have been a way to do a test(calibration) so that it can learn to recognise your handwriting since everyone’s is different.

  The finger mouse feature is nice for one handed use, so that would come in handy for most users who multitask.

  I personally think this is a great phone for anyone who, like myself, loves alot of functionality and features.

  This is a great phone for the price and has all if not more of the features of the high-end, high priced phones in the $800-900 range.

  At the time I bought this I had issues with the 3rd party seller with shipping to an address and the apt number was missing and they refunded me within a few days, I would advise all users to make their purchase directly from Amazon since their service is more superior than some 3rd party buyers.

  Another thing to note is that I purchased the 8GB from the 3rd party at $399.99 but after being refunded I decided to go for the 16GB that was being sold by Amazon with better shipping prices (including the Free Supersaver Shipping) for only $402.

  I hope you do consider buying this phone since it’s a great investment for any of you looking to have fun and functionality together in a phone.
