HTC Diamond and the Samsung Omnia (WM6.1 FACEOFF)
It's PocketPC playoffs and HTC are giving Samsung a match at the GSM Arena. With two of the stars of the season arriving in our office all at once, we thought it's a heck of an opportunity for some Diamond-Omnia-Diamond-Omnia-Diamond-Omnia game-set-match with a pinch of iPhone flavor. We got two aces up to the challenge, so sit back and stretch out. Ah well, get that six-pack too and join us for the kick-off.
Diamond over Omnia: VGA display (2.8-inch, 480 x 640 pixels) TouchFLO 3D Home screen (better than Omnia's Touchwiz UI) Nicer design More compact body Lighter weight Active magnetic stylus (Omnia has no stylus slot) Touch-sensitive scroll wheel (better than Omnia's optical joystick) Better sunlight legibility (by a small margin) Standard miniUSB slot (as opposed to Samsung's proprietary custom plus) Dedicated graphics chip with 64MB memory Comes with the amusing Teeter game (uses the accelerometer) Has pre-installed YouTube client and MP3 Trimmer application for ringtones Better video playback performance Omnia over Diamond: Bigger, though lower-res display (3.2", 240 x 400 pixels) Has a better, more solid build and finish Almost double battery life Better CPU performance (by a nice margin according to software benchmarks) Quad-band GSM support (Diamond has two versions to cover all the four bands) microSD card slot (Diamond has none) 8 or 16 GB of storage memory (Diamond has 4GB) Much better 5 megapixel camera (better processing, higher resolution, face and smile detection, geotagging) TV-out (Diamond lacks that) Landscape QWERTY keyboard (Diamond has one but only in browser) Auto screen rotation is available in all applications and can be switched off Comes with DivX video support (Diamond has none, but DivX players can be installed) Has pre-installed a custom Alarms app, a Video editor and a unit converter ALL THE INFO AND SPECS http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_di...review-262.php |

Re: HTC Diamond and the Samsung Omnia (WM6.1 FACEOFF)
In my opinion I fell like I would like to have the Omnia only because it is all new to me. I have had HTCs phone for a long time. I know the the Diamond is a lot different than my wing or any of the other HTC phones that is out now but you can still tell its a HTC phone but then why totally change a great thing. One thing that HTC and all cell phone makers should take heed from is the 5 mp camera on the Omnia. 2 or 3 mp just don't cut it any more. My digatal Rebel is just to big to carry around all the time and my crappy 2 mp camera on my phone is a joke. Anyway I'm sure the next phone that I get will be the HTC pro. I guess after all is said and done I'm an HTC fan.
