The much awaited Omnia i900 from Samsung (see specs here) was released in the Philippines yesterday. While everybody is getting frustrated with the supposed Globe iPhone 3G pricing, the Samsung Omnia will definitely be a formidable alternative to the former. The Philippine price is pegged at Php34,000 for the 8GB version and Php38,000 for the 16GB — unlocked and contract free (up to 32GB with external 16GB microSD card).

OMG! I knew I shouldn’t have bought the i780 yet… But then again, I’m perfectly happy with my phone and I’m a QWERTY kind of guy. Hehehe…
I can buy three PSPs with that amount!

about messaging: ahmm, i’m not fan of the samsung keyboard too narrow..! but overall the best phone so far..
I love my 16gb omnia too. the only problem is globe doesnt have GPRS setting for omnia yet. I cant use video call and MMS. grrr!!! i tried using the setting for xda but it doesnt work.

Guys how can i know what PDA Version my omnia is using??

Sir,
Omnia is a great phone.can anyone help me configure my Omnia..I am a globe subscriber.I cant figure out how to activate the MMS.Thanks a lot guys
I bought mine 16gig Omnia last Dec. for 32k. No regrets buying it. Can’t say that its an Iphone killer cause of the lack of multi-touch , but with custom ROMs I say that its one of the best WM phones in the market. GPS works like a charm too, I’m currently using garmin and a local philippine map. The only downside for me is that until now Globe doesnt have the gprs settings for the phone, so I can’t maximize it’s full potenial, unless of course i switch to smart.
will,,, actually i just want to buy touch screen phone…one of my choice is iphone3g,second i900 samsung…until now i’m still evaluating the best of the two hi tech phones…
Good day everyone,

Im selling my 8gb omnia phone ALL ORIGINAL and brought at singapore just drop me sms at this number +639165218987
i am selling samsung omnia 8g brand new for 25k with 4gb already.. 16gb 27k.. txt me 09159955705..
so i cannot browse using samsung omnia without wifi? i cannot use the globeinternet t browse?
how much is brandnew samsung i900?
i’m torn between the omnia and the i780..
i780 is a bang for the buck phone being sold for only Php10.4K BNEW while omnia 8gb is being sold for Php18.7K BNEW..
the price is what keeps me from buying the omnia..it’s still too steep although the price is worth it ‘coz of the phone’s feats which overshadows the i780’s..
that Php34,000 – Php38,000 price is really outrageous for a Filipino consumer considering that you can buy Omnia i900 for $380-400+ abroad..
how can i use the internet & GPS through GPRS?My network is globe.
i bought my samsung i900 last june 24,09,it’s more than an iphone!buy now co’z i bought the price of Php 24,500.00,16gigs in MOA.and i want to buy again the OMNIA II for my wife
All you need is A working IP, A PORT, And an APN to use a phones web browser. And if you want to go for a free browse,Just use a proxy site… I have manually opened variety of phones for ‘web browsing(globe)’… Most of them are SE and Nokia phones… And samsung is just so rare that i have’nt came across one as complicated as i900 yet… But try visiting pinoywap.net the guys there knows much…
Got my omnia 2 days ago, and im so in love with it…
at plan 1,800, i think its a great deal…
Maybe their preparing to release the HD version soon
i got my omnia last november thru verizon with two year cotract for $150. love the phone. after that, my digital camera, ipod, laptop and gps stay at home now. love it. monthly is $65 for 700mins, 400txs, and unlimited data(internet).
i heard they offer it now for $99 bucks with the same plan.
Hi.. I have some good news for you friends who are using the Samsung Omnia i900…I have recently configured my MMS and I can now receive and send MMS messages using my Samsung Omnia i900 via SMART Telecom…
First of all,you have to activate your GPRS/MMS thru Smart (211)… After receiving and saving the config settings you have to modify or configure your MMS by going to “START” “messaging”…after clicking or tapping “messaging” go to “menu” and click or tap “MMS Options”….Under “Data Bearer” select “SmartGPRS” and select done…then ok..
After doing this, you have to configure your connection settings by going to “START” then click or tap “Settings” then select “Connections”…tap “Advanced” and select “Select Networks”…under “Network Management” select or check “Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using”.. then select “My MMS Networks” then click or tap edit and then check “This network connects to the internet” and also check “This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet”… Under “Proxy Server”… PLEASE ENTER “192.168.0.2″ then click or tap ok…. Please Reboot your Samsung Omnia i900 handset… That’s it… Enjoy sending and receiving MMS videos and images…. I will soon publiah to you the config settings on how to make VIDEO CALL… Good Luck
