    In terms of features, the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. It's a shame this doesn't translate into a phone we'd enjoy using from day to day. Read more

    Cased inside of a body that's just a fraction smaller than an iPhone, the Samsung Omnia has a lot going for it. It's fairly light, looks good, and has a plethora of features that been making geeks drool for months. There's a fairly high amount of memory included in out of the box for your files: our unit had 8GB but we're hearing that up to 16GB can be found. Read more

    the excessive functions on this phone are hard to use and it's hard to justify their importance. Texting is impossible on the go - you have to sit down and concentrate otherwise you'll get incoherent jibberish because the touch screen is so bad. Read more
