Quite a few sites are carrying details of the Omnia SGH-i900 phone that Samsung have announced at CommunicAsia this week. A sleek looking full featured Windows Mobile 6.1 SmartPhone.
I’ve pulled a few links from different stories on cNet Asia’s site.
They are carrying details of the handset here, they have a first take review here, and Jason S has blogged about it here.
Jason talks a little about the features of the phone in his blog entry;
Omnia is simply stunning as it comes feature-packed with a 5-megapixel camera that has image stabilizer and face-smile detection inbuilt (hope Sony and Nokia are tuned in, too). The party doesn’t stop here. The phone will also support DivX, XviD, WMV and MP4 videos.
It will also have an integrated GPS unit to help you find your way if you are lost–or if you want to explore your neighborhood more. Omnia also has the now industry standard of Bluetooth, USB mass storage and also the more important Wi-Fi.
From cNet’s story;

- Quadband GSM with EGDE and HSDPA

It has been a while since I upgraded my handset, I think it is time for a new phone!
Has anybody seen them in stock in Singapore anywhere yet?
This phone appeared to be one of the greatest technology in the industry. Although I have not seen it, from what I saw on the website, it is a phone I would love to have.
Please when can it be sold in Nigeria?
We’ll see – although several sources are saying they should be available in SE Asia already, South Asia Computers at Funan Mall were telling me yesterday that I would have to wait another month or so…
