Samsung Omnia SCH-i920 User Reviews
Not worth the extra from the original omnia
Date: December 4, 2009
"I have owned the phone for 3 days now and wanted to really play with it before reviewing it. So here it is. I really have mixed feelings for this phone coming from the first omnia (which I really liked).
As for appearance the phone is really nice to look at and very comfortable to hold. Just right as far as size is concerned. The screen seems to be the phones best attribute but keep a soft wiping cloth with you because it does get smudgy.
I must say I am disappointed with it in terms of not living up to the phone I thought it would be for the time I had waited for it to come out. Instead of improving on everything I loved so much about the first gen, they got rid of it all together. Things such as the optical D pad (which had great feel and function), microsoft voice, and the samsung today screen which was way better than widgets or winmo. With that said it took some time to get used to. I am sure you will read about the phone being laggy and widgets being slow, its because they are! Both the Samsung interface and the new windows 6.5 interface are horrible. I was ready to bring the phone back after only a day, but decided to download the SPB Mobile shell onto it to give it a try. Since then the phone has been terrific! I know, I was reluctant to chunk out more cash for a brand new device that has more than enough time to make right but once again it was well worth it!!! The shell takes away any sluggish movement and lets you zip through functions and apps at turbo speed. I will also add in that with all the talk about the resistive screen it works perfect with every touch. No problems on that.
The shield design that is used on the front doesn't serve as a nifty optical pad and will only open up whatever function you assign it to (task menu by default). This was by far a big disappointment to me. The voice activated feature is actually a program you have to open and I must say a feel like I went back several years using it. On the plus side the phone does come with some awesome virtual keyboards along with SWYPE technology. After about 30 minutes of playing with I had it down pat and it is super quick to use. You literally could type 50 wpm.
As for the Internet I thought it would be a lot quicker but it is a little above average, nothing to brag about. The pages do look great though. The phone also comes loaded with Bing which is an awesome program and the voice recognition isn't haltered on this program. However I still have trouble setting up the GPS on the app. I haven't called to check on it yet but it comes with VZ navigation if you want to chunk out an additional 10 bucks a month. I'd rather not. It just aggravates me that you can get free navigation on some units but not all with VZ.
The camera is real nice and has improved from the first along with the video. There is also a nice program for making slide shows and editing videos. Another nice thing worth mentioning is the function for viewing pictures, videos, music on your phone. It is pretty cool as it incorporates a carousel feel along with haptic feedback so you get the feel of flipping through a rolodex.
In conclusion I will probably stay with the phone but if your looking for a major improvement in technology it will only give you that in the form of swype and screen display. And if your not looking to dish out another $30 to put on the SPB shell don't waste your time."
