What's Hot

Attractive, reflective surface, design, finger mouse, TouchWIZ interface, feature-packed, DLNA support

What's Not

Easily scratched and marked, stylus can’t be stored in the handset, speed could be improved, proprietary headphone/charging jack

The Final Word

The Omnia is Samsung’s attempt at pushing Windows Mobile as far into the background as possible, but it’s certainly not perfect. With more tweaking to the TouchWIZ interface and a bit more speed, this could potentially knock the iPhone off its perch. As it stands though, it's an admirable handset without being outstanding.
