Samsung announces WP7 Omnia W - Crave - CNET Asia

Just sharing

Still prefer the square casing of my Omnia 7. (Nice specs on the W apart from the smaller screen)

I don't like the fact it will still have a 5mp camera! Sammy, you're pushing me towards Nokia so fast, due to the fact of skimping on hardware specs. I am happy they put in a faster proc.

Remember this is just the midrange Omnia Apoc, (Focus Flash)

The Focus S is the biggie.

Still wished they could've put a 8mp camera. Hey WeeBear, what is your take on the storage aspect of this handset? Do you prefer bigger storage or do you like the Skydrive method?

 

[TheWeeBear]

Actually 8 GB is more than enough for my own personal use Apoc, as my phone storage is only used for apps and the odd few photos i take. (Then I just up them to SkyDrive.)

Most of my music is streamed from Zune or Last FM but i have unlimited data, not everone does, so they may need more storage.

I understand others wishing to store everything under the sun on their phones and need more that 8GB but for me that's more than enough.

If only all WP7's had expandable memory that would keep everyone happy, but as you know they don't.

wow i actually like this phone MUCH more then the FOCUS S ...

tobad its only 3,7'' , and not S-AMoled-PLUS

 

[Apoc]

I'm still sort of puzzled that Sammy sort of downgraded this one, compared to the Focus S. To be honest, the Omnia 7 was the overseas cousin of the Focus, only difference(besides shape), was the expandable memory. Don't know how diffferent the S-AMOLED+ is from the former, but bummed not on the new OW handset!

I think Samsung is going for the multi-tier approach.

Upscale: Focus S (US) / Omnia S (? Europe)
Mass Market: Focus Flash (US) / Omnia W (Europe)

This makes sense, especially with rumors of Apple doing the same with an iPhone 5 / iPhone 4S split

 

[selfcreation]

yeah apple been doing it for years... Iphone 3 , Iphone 3gs..... ( and the possible 4gs with the Iphone 5. )

im glad to see they are giving the market a bigger Price range .. for people with more or less income .....

Mid to high end

and nokia will have the low end phones ( i hope for there sake they also make high range phones to )

So it's the Omnia S, that I should be looking forward too?
Thanks, stupid me, didn't even realize that! Doh!
A little relief, now I just need that thing called, umm, what's the name again? Mano? Mindo?
Mingo? Something like that, it'll come to me(soon I hope!!!!)

no point in getting ther new OMNIA , its a downgrade version of the FOCUS.

its gona be less then your current omnia... FOCUS S ... is what should be your goal..... Omnia would just be a complete waist of cash... unless you like the new look..

Omnia W(s) doesn?t even have S-AMOLED_Plus

 

[Dileu]

Am I the only person excited by the W? I find that 3.5-3.8 to be ideal for a phone - the 4" screen on my long departed Galaxy S was too big - even my long fingers couldnt reach across it. Faster processor, more sensible screen - I just stopped envying weebear's phone

You can't go smaller inkytype. Yes I can, No you can't!

So the Omnia S is a downgrade as well?

 

[TheWeeBear]

No. the Omnia W (Focus Flash) is smaller than the current Focus and only Super Amoled (Not Plus) but has a faster processor and front facing camera.

The Focus S has front facing camera, Super Amoled Plus and has a 4.3 inch screen rather then the current focus's 4 inch screen.

If you go to a 4.3" screen, you might as well buy a tablet :lol:

[Dileu]

Samsung has devices at 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 inches now.

No 6 inch phone? Pffft. when does a phone become a tablet?

(IMHO - 4" - when you can no longer regularly use it with one hand )
