    When you weigh up its strengths and weaknesses, the Omnia Icon is better suited to lovers of mobile media than to dedicated business people. It has a capable suite of productivity tools, but people who need excellent messaging will find the on-screen keyboard a tad too small. Read more

    Hot on the heels of the original launched in 2008, Samsung is back with the Samsung Omnia Icon smartphone. Known as the Samsung Omnia II or the Samsung Omnia i8000 internationally, the Omnia Icon smartphone raises the bar with a massive AMOLED touch screen, a five-megapixel camera and juicy upgrades to Samsung's TouchWIZ interface. Our review unit was an international model (Samsung Omnia II or Samsung Omnia i8000). Read more

    • AMOLED display, 3.5mm headphone jack, TouchWIZ UI improvements, HSDPA, GPS, 5-megapixel camera, 8GB internal memory
    • Resistive touch screen rather than capacitive, widgets can become sluggish, interface isn't as slick or polished as HTC's TouchFLO 3D, lag in certain menus
