Samsung HD icon VS the iPhone! Hands on review of the Worlds first 720p HD video recording smart phone, the Samsung HD omnia aka, the i8910 from their ICON series. Blunty puts the omniaHD head to head with it’s biggest target, the Apple iPhone and finds that the nifty little Samsung has a trick or two that helps it kick the iPhone 3gs right in the teeth. “The Worlds First 720P video recording and playback mobile phone is here. The new Samsung HDICON is the ultimate entertainment device. Its 8 megapixel camera with digital camera capabilities and super bright 3.7″ AMOLED screen, make your pictures, videos and games come alive. High speed internet means you get downloads faster; expandable memory allows you to store more of your favourite photos and important files. An intuitive user interface means the Samsung HDICON is both entertainment and multimedia perfection. ” www.optus.com.au

yo dude, I own this phone, bought it about 3 months ago but it sucks as to what I have experienced, internet is super slow, the pictures I take are just fucked up, no good quality and very small eventhough it’s set on 1600*900 or more and 8MP everytime.
Are they all like that or is mine fucked up?
nice review but even with a great hardware the os killed this phone.lack of apps lack of games lack of samsung support and no multitouch.and yes it can record hd videos but the sound is mono and horrible specially when you try to record at concert.the image quality is good but pics are kinda blurry sometimes and the only good thing is the display and the screen.this could be a great phone if it had the right support from the start but it didnt.so iphone still wins sorry
Hey blunty! I was curious if you have seen the soon to be released LG phone with dual core 1ghz…. recording in full 1080…… I was wondering what your thoughts on this dual core android running phone is?
finaly a reviewer that realizes that the iphone is crap
omg close your eye and you will hear dr cox
he loks like tony stark
The MAJOR downside to ALL the smartphones I’ve seen up until now is the eye candy…I don’t need my mobile phone to have a 50 MP camera with 3 flashes on it’s back, I want it to look nice when it rotates the screen for example, or do a fade thing with it opens something, something pleasant for the eye.
Apple iPhone seems to have that rotation thing, while others just blank the screen for a moment and then you’re in landscape, I can’t have a phone like that.
That’s why I’ll stick to apple for now
blunty i have the samsung omnia hd yeah its os is s60 v5 but for me i dont fink the iphone 4 is 4 me since symbian os is my choice of mobile os format. Any way what did you really think of the omnia hd .also was the omnia hd only availible to import to uk ? Coz i dint see this phone in shops.
@DarkZeroNemesis1 iphone is far from the best please educate yourself on the market of smartphones before making that claim. i hope you arent referring to the processor as running at 3.03GHz, because it runs at 1GHz
The iphone 4 is the best retina display is sweet, the glass is 7 times stronger then plastic with a stainless steal band and internal, 3.03 ghz of speed fast then an some laptops. Apps, what some phones have and try to beat but fail the iphone play movie games better then a psp,
hey blunty boy, is this better than the i9000? is it the same features? more? less?
m8 this is absolutely superb phone i have it and it’s better than every iphone in the world xD
i love the way u compare both phones ^_^
i love this review..! great job..
АТОС!!!)))
this is a good revieuw.. it’s not so boring like other ones. You are doing it nice
I ma about to get a new phone and i’d like to get a samsung which came first the omnia or the galaxy
I decided to go with the Omnia last time as opposed to the old iPhone. I definitely felt let down at the reliability of the old Omnia. The reception would always cut out, it would lag like hell and heck sometimes i couldn’t even receive a call. Not sure which way i’ll sway when i buy my next phone but this review has definitely made the new Omnia more attractive and makes me forget of its past indiscretions.. Good job!
I don’t know what the hell these other retards are talking about, i don’t see any fanboydemness at all, Blunty even says he’s an apple fanboy! He clearly says the camera is better which it is!!! Apples camera sUCKS!!! he also says the safari browser is better for most stuff besides flash videos, big deal. He’s telling the truth, anyone with an open mind can see that instead of you close minded fucks!
AND THE WINER ISSSSSS:
SONY ERICSSON VIVAZ !!!!
@juanflys well apparently not enough times seeing as it’s plagued with issues ranging from retarded antenna placement to fragile and ill-constructed backing. Go back to your sodomy sessions with Jobs
iphone 4 bit.ch!!!
How many time did it take for samsung to build this phone? how many time did it take apple to biuld iphone 4?? Touchè!!
lol i like how its not scripted, but you strayed of topic for a bit
The screen looks very reflective see blunty,s head at 1.43
@Mainiac1221 not bad…not bad at all. and it could be done, like it would just stay blank for a majority of the time until you used a game that has the “l and r” buttons, or when you use a photo app or something. your idea is actually really good =O
