IPhone vs Omnia

27 March 2009 1 comment Posted By:Vivek

Imagine a day when you can browse through the mobile phone at speeds of 2Mbps..
Video calling someone..
Well all these will no more be a dream.With the sanctioning of 3G by the Government of India,We are gonna experience a whole new experience in mobile telephony.
The technology will be soon available through networks,so where are phones..
Well,they are already here.
Leading the list are the Apple IPhone and the Samsung Omnia.

Model Name: iPhone 3G
Manufacturer:Apple

Apple says that the IPhone 3G will redefine what a mobile phone can do.

The IPhone is actually a combination of three products in one — a phone,an iPod, and an Internet device with rich HTML email and has one of the best mobile phone web browsers embedded into it-The Mobile Safari.The IPhone also supports Wi-Fi,GPS(You can find locations on your phone using google maps),the accelerometer(which basically will tel you what the position of your phone is),Proximity sensor(to detect where your mobile is),and the Ambient light sensor.
Tapping into Appstore will provide you with a whole new experience.You will find applications in almost every category. You can download applications wirelessly and install them directly into your phone.Display is 3.5 inch with a multi touch display.The only dissappointment when it comes to the iPhone is that it provides only a 2MP camera.Add to all this features the gorgeous look of the IPhone,the IPhone will be the one to beat in the market.

Price :Rs.29,000 for the 8GB version

Rs.33,000 for the 16GB version

Model Name:Omnia
Manufacturer:Samsung

Samsung Omnia

Perhaps the biggest competiton for the IPhone will come from Samsung’s cool Omnia.Punched lined as “more than a phone” by Samsung,it can do almost everything that the IPhone will do.Add to it a camera which is 5MP with auto-focus,face detection and Geo tagging,the Omnia does have an edge over the IPhone.The Omnia is loaded on the windows mobile 6.1 platform.
The Omnia comes in a 3.2 inch display and a sleek metallic look.
The browser used is the Mobile Opera which works almost as well as the Mobile Safari.The Omnia comes with a 8/16 GB internal memory and an external memory expandable to another 16GB.

Price:Rs.31,000

Another of the Samsung’s 3G wonder is the INNOV8,which comes with a 8MP camera,but loses out due its very high price of nearly 40,000.

Three2tango winner:Too hard to pick one of them.I leave to the readers.
