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!
@Gwapito
4 actually, w/o mem sticks of course
interesting phone.
mine, i can buy 4 PSP fat with accessories, games, other peripherals and 4GB memory it only depends if my supplier has stocks but as of now its out
Its a iphone 3g killer, real gps (can use tomtom, garmin xt etc) mircosd slot up to 16gb. The iphone is no longer king.

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.
