Samsung Omnia phone looks hot, is no iPhone
In a peculiar move, Samsung today announced its Omnia phone, a sleek little number that follows the touchscreen trend that we've been seeing a lot lately. In fact, it really got jumpstarted by some phone that came out about a year ago… what was the name of it again?
Not sure what Samsung's thinking, but I suppose it's only good manners to let them have the floor until 1 p.m., when Steve Jobs is due to announce the new iPhone. After that, it'll be pretty hard to get excited about a Windows Mobile 6.1 phone with a 3.2-inch display, GPS, and a 5-megapixel camera with face detection, smile detection and geotagging. The quad-band phone will come to Asia and Europe this summer; no word on a U.S. release.

This article has some major mistakes or at best is misleading. LG Prada phones was sold months in Korea before iPhone so if Omnia copied iPhone then iPhone copied Prada phone. This is pretty common knowledge. I remember reading this on cnn.com when iPhone first came out and you can easily google this too. Also the initial release of Omnia from what I've read is in SE Asia and USA. Not sure about Europe. It's not initially available in major parts of Asia including Korea until later this year. Again this is easily verifiable by just googling.

Is this review tongue in cheek? This phone is an Iphone killer.. sold my IPhone. Great toy, but if you want a real business tool this is the one!
