Korean consumers rejoice tuned Omnia
Written by Meraj Chhaya on November 3, 2008 – 6:22 pm
Samsung will offer an improved version of its flagship Omnia to its South Korean consumers. The T*Omnia will include a larger touchscreen display, with 3.3″; resolution of 480×800 pixels, double of its predecessor; and a DMB TV tuner.
The Omnia runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, has HSDPA connectivity at 7.2mbps, Quad-band connectivity, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, and image stabilizer, A-GPS, Bluetooth, 16GB internal memory with microSD memory card support, and a 1440mAh battery.
The Omnia itself has everything the new N96 doesn’t have, and its features can beat the iPhone 3G 16GB as well. The price might not be so comfortable, but the device surely is one of the best of its kind. Samsung has also launched the INNOV8 on the camera-feature smartphone section, and the only component missing, is really the touchscreen.
Press release after the break.

Samsung wants convergence, demo’s concept
Written by Meraj Chhaya on November 1, 2008 – 10:32 pm
Mr Ho-Soo Lee, EVP of Mobile Solutions Center, Telecommunication Business, Samsung Electronics, held a keynote address at the Symbian Smartphones Show 2008 on behalf of Samsung. The Korean representative presented in-depth views of what the manufacturer is planning for its future, as well as an insight into SMI (Samsung Mobile Innovator) program.
Convergence is a very important issue in Samsung’s agenda, but not the multimedia convergence that we are used to. Samsung wishes to have your entire household electronics connected to each other, not in the electronic way only, but also in the physical way.

Battle: Samsung INNOV8 vs Sony Ericsson C905
Written by Meraj Chhaya on October 27, 2008 – 12:04 am
We persuaded one of Sony Ericsson’s representatives to jump over to Samsung’s huge booth at the Symbian Smartphones Show, to let us take few comparison pictures between the Samsung i8510 INNOV8, and the Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot. After much discussion and some embarrassment from the Sony Ericsson representative after being faced with the INNOV8’s features from half of Samsung’s team at the booth, it was time to put the two flagships to the test.
In terms of features, the INNOV8 is undoubtedly the world’s best mobile phone, with a 8 megapixel camera that has autofocus, smile and blink detection, and dual LED flash; 16GB of internal memory with support for external memory through a microSD memory card; GPS; WiFi; HSDPA; and Symbian OS9.3 with S60 v3 Feature Pack 2 software platform which allows computer-like usage. The C905 features the 8 megapixel camera that has autofocus and xenon flash; HSDPA; WiFi; and GPS.

Samsung unveils i7110 - N85 competitor
Written by Meraj Chhaya on October 24, 2008 – 7:06 pm
Samsung has showcased the i7110 at the Symbian Smartphones Show in London on Tuesday and Wednesday. The i7110 can be seen as the competitor to Nokia’s N85 smartphone, but in candybar format.
The i7110 features a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, as well as Smile Shot and Blink Shot recognition technologies. It runs on Symbian OS9.3 with S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 2 software platform. It becomes even closer to the N85 with its 2.6″ AMOLED display with QVGA resolution (240×320). In terms of connectivity, the i7110 comes with GPS, WLAN, Bluetooth, and HSDPA. An FM transmitter, an optical mouse, and accelerometer (motion sensor) are also included, but probably only enabled in countries which allow it.
Samsung’s latest smartphone includes a 1200mAh battery which should provide 11 hours of talk time on EDGE, and 6 hours of talktime on WCDMA, which sounds excellent for such a device.
The phone will be available in selected markets from November 2008. PhoneReport will present its own coverage of the device in following articles.
Press release after the break.
