Samsung i9000

So we have 3 of the super smartphones available in the Philippines -- Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10, HTC Desire, and Samsung Galaxy S i9000. From my count, the SE Xperia X10 gets a base score of 5 from the screen size & resolution, CPU, camera and microSD card included; the HTC Desire gets a base score of 6 from the CPU, RAM, OS version, FM tuner, UI and AMOLED display; while the Samsung Galaxy S i9000 scored 10, winning in most of the features listed (not counting the SRP). When the handset was shown to me by one of the Samsung reps this afternoon, I asked if it's official or if I can take a picture of their upcoming Galaxy S i9000. Very responsive and fast processor, thanks to that 1GHz Samsung CPU. Samsung's got its own 1GHz CPU plus Android combo under the name of i9000 Galaxy S. Samsung's got the TouchWiz UI on top of the Android OS inside the super slim 9.9mm body. 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.
