I am usually not a fan of all-in-one devices. In general, I prefer having multiple gadgets performing good quality tasks, instead of having poor performance on a single device. I must say, however, that the specs on the Omnia HD made me re-think this concept:

  • The World's First HD Video Recording on Mobile
  • 3.7" QHD Super Vivid AMOLED Display
  • HSUPA 5.76Mbps/HSDPA 7.2Mbps
  • 8 Megapixel Autofocus Camera
  • Multi Codec (DivX, MPEG4)
  • Web Browsing (S60 OSS-Safari core)
  • Full Touch Screen

That's not all. See what else phoneArena.com mentioned about it:

The OMNIA HD runs on a Symbian OS modified with manufacturer’s TouchWiz 3D interface, so it’s also smart indeed. On top of that it features Wi-Fi with DLNA, 7.2 Mb. capable HSDPA, GPS, HDMI, accelerometer and comes with either 8 or 16GB built-in memory and expansion slot to allow use of an up to 32GB card. Last, but not least the manufacturer have managed to pack all these features in a 12.9 mm. thin body.

Looks like the smartphone market is getting more and more traction with touch screen high-end devices that are raising the bar for the iPhone 3.0.
