It seems that the last three months have been the months of high-end mobile phone launches in India. First it was the iPhone 3G that made its entry, then followed the much anticipated Nokia N96 and today, Samsung's iPhone killer the Omnia is launched in India. Pricing and memory details look like this - 32 GB Memory (16 GB Internal Memory + 16 GB MicroSD) 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). The specs do look impressive with full touch screen interface, outer metal case and Windows Mobile 6.1. The phone also has MS Office so that you can edit all your docs and presentations on the move. The 3.2 inch full touch screen interface of the phone makes viewing on the phone a bliss. The phone is beefed up with 16GB of memory to cater to all your multimedia needs. Though the Omnia sounds to be more of a work phone, its 5 mega pixel snapper and clear movie and music listening experience make it an entertainment phone also. The phone will come with a built-in browser, the Internet Explorer, which is its biggest turn-off according to me, the browser sucks. Also we will have to keep an eye on the efficiency of the new mobile OS Windows Mobile 6.1. I have used O2 phones with previous versions of the OS and they use to hang perennially, psyching me out to the fullest. Hope this time, Omnia users will not face this problem. The Samsung Omnia is touted as the iPhone killer but as of now there are no evidences that it has got THE thing to become an iPhone killer.
