Wishlist: Samsung Omnia

Nowadays, everything technology comes with a touchscreen. It would seem to be the direction to be headed in, from touchscreen monitors to touchscreen phones. Lesser buttons, more interactivity. And the new kit on the block? Samsung Omnia! I would so love to get my hands on one of those, especially now that iPhone seems to be getting too common on the streets and around me.

The Basics -

Now apart from the ever popular ‘touch’ interface (TouchWiz UI), it runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 platform. It’s the latest update in its series since 2003. It’s stable and has an interface similar to the PC Windows, hence the user-friendliness.

The screen is at 3.2 inches and it’s definitely slim and lightweight (127g) even when it’s packed with features.

On the Road -

I’ll skip the Wi-Fi connectivity since it seems to be a basic nowadays of mobiles. GPS navigation system is included as well, useful for those on the road and about. Now it’s equipped with a 5mp camera, good enough for snapping and video recording. What differs it here from its competition is that it has a smile shot and face detection feature. Mind you, it comes with a video editing feature as well, inclusive of audio dubbing. That’ll be soo great for my tutorials now!

The Rhythm -

The basic specs of all phones – MP3s and FM Radio.

The Work Addict -

With its Windows Mobile platform, viewing MS Office stuff on the road would now be a breeze. And since push mail features, I can stay connected most of the time with this baby.

Now, ain’t that just everything that I’d wish for packed into a phone? I’d say that it’s a lifestyle statement I’m gonna make with one of this in my hand.
