Advantages: Seamliess email, predictive text, camera

Disadvantages: slow responsive touch screen, poor visibility on screen during daylight

Well, I have been using Samsung Omnia 16G with Orange Network.
I have to admit I don't really like this phone.

Here are my reasons

1. It's clever smart phone however, touch response isn't really good and I have to use stylus at all the time to navigate and to text.

2. It's impossible to text when you are walking. I don't have fat fingers but I was really frustrated using my fingers and at the end I have to grab stylus again which didn't improve texting experience much either.

3.You can't see screen at all outdoor especially, when it's bright sunny day. wish Samsung use brighter better screen for this phone. Loved the next model using OMLED screen, so much difference but as for this phone, screen brightness and clarity is really disappointing.

4. Widget is ok but can't find much of benefit for my use really.

5. Predictive texting is quite good and receiving emails through 3G is seamless

6. Great design and good camera (5m pixel)

7. overall, It's ok smart phone but I am very disappointed by touch screen quality compared to other touch screen phone such as iphone, LG touch phone. It was testing my patience now and then for using touch screen grr grr. Rumour has it Samsung Omnia HD has been rectifying all my difficulties I have experiencing with this phone. So wait for Samsung Omnia HD if you want this phone.

Summary: Wait for Samsung Omnia HD which will launch this summer.
