Download activesync for samsung omnia 2
Happily, the Omnia is up to the task. The Omnia handled these well and the screen looks lovely when watching movies. Sound through the included stereo earbuds was good and even better when using over-the-ear 3. We tested the i with the Samsung SBH stereo Bluetooth headset and it sounded very good: nice bass, good stereo separation and clear highs.
It's got playlist support, EQ and it's faster at updating its library than WMP-- and it sees media in all locations: internal storage, flash disc and microSD card at once, no need to switch library locations as with WMP.
Though all the videos in our library played fine with the included applications, we installed CorePlayer the commercial version of TCPMP since it has a few extra options like stretch to full screen. The player ran fine on the Samsung and videos up to kbps played without drops and generally good AV sync. There's also a streaming player by ArcSoft that handles mobile youtube content m.
The phone supports mass storage mode and USB 2. It can also mount the microSD card via mass storage mode so you need not remove the card to transfer files to and from the card.
Rounding out multimedia, there's an FM radio that uses the headphones as its antenna. It has remarkably good reception for a phone FM radio and it auto-scanned and found 41 stations in our area while other phones manage There's a widget that controls FM radio playback from the widgets Today screen-- we like! There's also a widget that controls Touch Player-- handy for background music playback. Also Samsung's task manager swipe your finger from bottom to top of the display to bring it up adds playback controls when the media player is running.
No mapping software is included other than Google Maps, so if you want turn-by-turn spoken navigation, you'll have to supply it yourself. Each program worked well with the Omnia-- no tweaking required. CoPilot runs letterboxed in QVGA mode and supports portrait and landscape modes, while Garmin fills the entire display. We found CoPilot's voice louder than Garmin's, but both were clearly audible in a sedan driving on a cement noisy compared to blacktop highway. The GPS gets a cold fix in a minute or less.
All were able to get a cold fix indoors within 10 feet of a first floor window, and warm fixes took less than 10 seconds. The GPS provided accurate location data, and on average found 8 satellites outdoors and indoors when near a window. We did notice that the back of the phone near the bottom gets warm when using the GPS to navigate. Note that the GPS antenna and battery are at the top, so those aren't the culprits. The phone and WiFi radios are at the bottom, but neither were being used for pre-loaded map applications like CoPilot and Garmin.
For Windows Mobile, the Omnia's 5 megapixel camera is ground-breaking. In fact, it's excellent by any standards, though it can't quite dethrone the Nokia N95 for outdoor shots in good light. The Omnia has an autofocus lens with standard, macro and face detection and smile detection focus it actually waits until your subject smiles before taking the shot.
It's the fastest focusing camera phone we've used and we've reviewed most of them! Save times to the 16 gig storage area are incredibly fast. Unless you're taking photos of our psycho kitten on a racing spree, the camera should be fast enough to capture most shots. Click on a sample photo to see the original 5MP image taken at the high quality setting.
Max photo resolution is x , with a variety of lesser resolutions available for photo caller ID, MMS and the like. There are plenty of settings to please photographers including white balance, saturation, flash control, quality, metering center, spot and matrix , contrast, sharpness, anti-shake and GPS tagging.
The default sharpening setting yields crisp and natural photos with good detail and no harshness. The standard color saturation setting is natural, though some folks might want to crank it up one notch since heavy saturation is the norm these days.
In cloudy outdoor shots, we noticed colors seemed a little too washed out, particularly skies, though the subject was generally well-saturated. The Omnia gives the Nokia N95 a run for the money in outdoor photography with its more natural sharpness and colors again, many folks prefer over-saturated images.
But overall, the N95 takes somewhat more pleasing shots by the average person's standards serious photographers will likely prefer the Samsung's better realism. Though the Nokia handles cloudy days better without washing out colors and contrast-- particularly skies are quite gray with the Omnia.
The Omnia wins for indoor low-light shots, which are the Nokia's weakness. In many cases, the flash isn't needed-- in fact that flash is incredibly powerful you'd think it was a Xenon and can easily over-expose a too-close subject. It can illuminate a dark room, making night shots a possibility. Images average 1. Video quality once again can't beat the N95, which records excellent quality video up to VGA resolution at 30fps.
Colors are pleasing and there's very, very little blockiness-- no complaints there. But audio quality is sub-par, sounding a bit hissy and distorted.
Above: good detail in the flowers and textures on a partly cloudy day. Below: a macro shot of one of those flowers. A powerful Windows Mobile Professional phone with a very large touch screen, very fast CPU and a wide range of wireless radios should have mediocre battery life, right?
Well, the Omnia i just won't quit! It's mAh Lithium Ion battery easily lasted us 2 days with fairly heavy use. Each day we checked email on a 30 minute schedule, surfed the web for an hour over WiFi and EDGE, took 25 photos, watched 30 minutes of locally stored video, watched a few youtube mobile format streaming videos over WiFi, listed to an album using Touch Player and Samsung's stereo Bluetooth headset, and talked on the phone for over an hour via Bluetooth headset. Very good!
Samsung has a power-saving setting but we never used it, given the device's excellent battery life and good performance. The smartphone is stunning looking, solidly built and loaded with cutting-edge features. More important is that Samsung's mostly excellent software and UI customizations have taken drab Windows Mobile out of the dust bin into today's world of touch-screen goodness.
And this isn't just eye candy: Samsung's customizations have made it easier, more efficient and fun to do common tasks. From the responsive GPS to the excellent camera, the Omnia never ceased to impress us. Pro: Large and responsive touch screen, great touch-customizations of Windows Mobile. Can someone advise how to take screenshots on this phone? It's super easy on iPhone, but can't seem to figure it out on this Samsung.
