A day with the Samsung Omnia HD Hardware and First Impressions

Samsung Omnia HD hands-on

“First impressions are of how tall the Omnia HD is.

“You know that guy, who does something pretty clever, and then can’t stop running around telling everyone who would listen how smart and good he is?Well, Samsung starts to remind me of that guy a bit.C’mon Samsung, we already know that you really like your touchscreen phones. Why else would you make more different models of them then anyone else?We heard that you’ve shipped more then 10 million of darn things, and, yes, we are aware that there already are more then 5 mil of Samsung F480’s out there.So do we really need to be reminded how good you are with your touchphones, and that you:

  • are still shipping more then 500K of F480’s a month,
  • now claim to control 25% of touchscreen phone market
  • or that your Omnia i900 (WiTu in CIS markets) has 18% of smartphone market in Germany, 17% in France and 15% in Italy

Well, OK, now that we all know how great your last year’s touchphone releases are, could you shut up and concentrate on bringing that awesome Samsung Omnia HD to the shops?” via unwiredview.com
