The Samsung i900 Omnia we mentioned yesterday is certainly looking good. aving.net have got some up-close shots of the device and the "TouchWiz" navigation system, which seems to offer more than just a fancy GUI. Special video software (Touch Player) is included with support for DivX, Xvid and more, plus it looks like there's more custom-made software too. The TouchWiz system will also let you drag-and-drop and personalize your home screen with unique widgets. For data entry you can also use the an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. Although this phone will be launching in Korea first, Europe will start seeing it in shops from July. Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 there's an optical mouse for navigating the 3.2 inch WQVGA finger-friendly touch screen and a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and "face and smile detection" ! There'll be two versions of this phone - just like the iPhone - one with 8Gb of memory and one with 16Gb, plus even more storage can be added via the microSD slot. Oh, and let's not forget the inbuilt GPS, TV-out, Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, FM radio and a long-life 1440MaH battery.
There's still rumours of a capacitive touch-screen, although there's a few sites stating that this is not the case. Either way, this is shaping up to be an incredible device and another one to add to your summer shopping list. Click the link below for all the photos, or read on for the full press release.
