Samsung has launched its fully-loaded handset, Samsung Omnia (SGH-i900), in the Indian market. The Omnia features Samsung's patented TouchWiz user interface to make entering data and text simple. With unique widgets, users can customise and personalise the way they use their phone. The phone has a high resolution, touch-sensitive, 3.2-inch WQVGA LCD screen that uses intuitive tap, sweep, drag and drop operations as well as an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. Further , the Omnia facilitates easy and convenient calling and texting with a dedicated dome key for controlling communications. The phone features MultiCodec support for DivX, Xvid and other video formats; offers GPS, including navigation and geo-tagging capabilities and comes with a five-megapixel CMOS camera with the latest value-added features, which include auto-focus (AF), face detection, smile detection and auto-panorama shot. Based on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system, Samsung Omnia gives users a mobile extension to their PC experience, with access to MS Office documents such as PowerPoint, Excel and Word. Users can also send and receive email and manage their appointments in Outlook while on the go. The phone also allows users to switch seamlessly between Microsoft Outlook email and productivity applications that replicate the look and feel of their PC - with a stroke of their finger. The Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system means users can download additional programs as they would on their PC and customize it for their individual needs. For ease of navigation, an optical mouse similar to those on laptop computers offers improved usability and one-handed control. Announcing the launch of Samsung Omnia, Sunil Dutt, Country Head-Samsung Telecom, said, "Samsung Omnia is our flagship model aimed at users who desire a lot of functionality, a lot of style, a lot of usability and a lot of entertainment in one innovative device. Samsung Omnia will help users to be at the forefront of work and play and at the same time, to stay connected anytime, anywhere". The 12.5-mm slim phone sports a platinum-look finish and hairline patterns on the back and is available with 32 GB Memory (16 GB Internal Memory + 16 GB MicroSD card from Sandisk) and 24 GB Memory (8 GB Internal Memory + 16 GB MicroSD Card) and is priced at Rs. 39,999 (32 GB Memory) and Rs. 37,999 (24 GB Memory). |
