Unboxing the Samsung i900 Omnia 900 开箱
Samsung i900 Omnia comes in nicely looking medium-sized package. Its contents cover all the basics. A DC charger, a CD with the required software for PC synchronization and a bunch of manuals go without saying.
900 使用外观漂亮的中型包装,里面包括了基本的配件:一个 dc 充电器、一盒 cd 、其它一些无须赘述的东西。

The stylus dongle is also included and it's almost identical to the LG Viewty's in design. And much like with the Viewty, it's meant to dangle on its string tied to the lanyard eyelet. This isn't handy at all, so our guess is most Omnia users will give it up in the end.
手写笔也包含在里面,与 lg 的 viewty 的设计很像。可以挂在挂绳口上。这样不是很方便,所以我猜想很多用户最后会放弃使用手写笔。
The stylus has nice design, but no compartment of its own
There is also a handsfree, which consists of two parts - a remote and a set of headphones. The remote sports a standard 3.5mm jack, which means that you can change the provided headset with any other set you have at hand. Finally, there is a number of ear buds of varying sizes for a comfortable fit of the nicely designed headphones.
还有 2 段式的耳机,具备 3.5mm 借口,意味着你可以更换其它耳机。还有各种不同尺寸的入耳耳塞。
Nice job of a headset
Samsung i900 Omnia 360-degree spin 360 度观测
Standing at 112 x 56.9 x 12.5 mm, Samsung i900 Omnia is on the hefty side. This is of course mainly in terms of width and height, as the 12.5 mm thickness does sound great to us. In all fairness, it cannot compare to the compact HTC Touch Diamond but the Omnia is still easily pocketable. The weight of 127 grams isn't much of a feat for a no-keypad device but we guess it's the price to pay for all the top-notch features on board.
三维尺寸 112 x 56.9 x 12.5 mm ,属于重量级选手,这当然要归公于宽度和高度,但是厚度并不算厚。公平来说,无法同 htc 的钻石相比,仍然易于携带。 127g 的重量对于无键盘的手机来说似乎中了点,但是我想这是集高端技术于一身所要付出的代价吧。
Design and construction 设计与结构
Designwise, the Samsung i900 Omnia doesn't differ that much from most other touchscreen handsets. In fact, there isn't much room for designer creativity in this class of devices, so the Omnia is understandably similar to its market rivals.
从设计上说 900 和其它的触摸屏幕手机没有太大区别。实际上,设计者在这一类的手机上没有太多可发挥的余地,所以 900 和其它对手比较象也是可以理解的。
On the positive side, we do like the finish of the rear, which might not be as unique as the HTC Touch Diamond but looks really classy.
从好的一面来说,我们很喜欢 900 ,虽然不像钻石的设计那么独特,但是非常经典。
At the top of the front panel of the Samsung i900 Omnia we find the earpiece, the ambient light sensor and the secondary video-call camera. Almost all the rest is the 3.2" touchscreen, which we'll come back to a little later in our review.
在 900 的上端我们可以找到听筒,光线感应器和视频通话摄像头,其余部分基本就被 3.2 存屏幕所占据,这个屏幕还要在其后的评测中提到。
The earpiece, the ambient light sensor and the secondary camera are at the top
At the very bottom of the front are the Call and End keys, with the optical joystick amidst. The optical joystick is a nice little control, which is used for thumbing around a virtual mouse cursor in a way identical to Samsung i780 .
底下部位是拨打和挂断键,中间是光学鼠标键。小巧的光学鼠标和 i780 相似,可以控制屏幕上的可见鼠标箭头。
The remaining keys on the front panel
The left side of Samsung i900 Omnia sports the lanyard eyelet and the Samsung proprietary USB port. Frankly, we would have preferred the miniUSB variety. Boy, even microUSB could've done better, giving the Omnia much greater compatibility. After all, miniUSB cables are extremely popular and microUSB is also quickly catching up.
左边是挂绳孔和三星标准 usb 借口,坦白说我们更希望是 miniusb 接口,毕竟这个更加流行和方便。
The lanyard eyelet and the USBslot are on the left
On the right side of the Omnia we come upon the volume rocker and the dedicated camera key. They are both positioned in the lower half of the handset and are large and comfortable enough to use.
右边是音量按钮和专门的相机键。都位于下方而且用感舒适。
Near the top of the right side we find the knob that launches the thumb-optimized Main menu.
右上方是调出专门为手指操作优化过的主菜单的按钮。
Three controls are to be found on the right of the Omnia
All there is at the bottom of Samsung i900 Omnia is the mouthpiece.
底部只有话筒。
The mouthpiece is the only thing of interest at the bottom
The top hosts the power key and the reset hole. The kinda small and recessed power key did get on our nerves every once in a while.
顶部是电源按键和重置孔。
The power key and the reset key hole are on top
The Samsung i900 Omnia rear hosts the 5 megapixel camera lens and the LED flash that's supposed to boost performance in the dark. There is a preinstalled application that lets you use the flash as a torch.
900 的背部是 500 万像素镜头和 led 闪光灯,已经预装了一款软件可以把闪光灯当作手电筒使用。
Update: The back panel of the Omnia is all plastic despite looking as if it has a brushed metal finish. You can't really tell that just by looking at it, but once you touch it, it feels like plain plastic alright. Nevertheless, we are really fond of this design solution - it certainly adds to the Omnia looks.
后盖看起来像金属的,实际是塑料材质。如果只是看还真不容易看出来。但是用手触摸后就会感觉到是普通的塑料。不过我们对这个设计方式很喜欢,为 900 的外观添了分。
The 5 megapixel camera is at the back, complimented by the LED flash
Removing the back panel reveals the 1440-mAh Li-ion battery that powers the Omnia. The generous capacity, combined with the good power-management capabilities of the Marvel CPU, give the Omnia great battery life. The manufacturer quotes it at up to 500h of standby time and up to almost 6h in talk time.
去掉后盖是 1440 毫安的电池,巨大的容量和良好的电源管理,使 900 拥有良好的待机时间。三星声称可以待机 500 小时,通话 6 个小时。
Under our care and some moderate usage the Omnia lasted 60 hours with a single charge. The moderate usage in question is something like a total of 20 minutes of talk time, 1 hour of in-car GPS navigation, 1 hour of web browsing via Wi-Fi or 3G, and taking around 40 camera photos. The GPS receiver is a real battery drainer, so if you don't use it the device should last even longer. And we won't be surprised, if it lasts a week under really low usage.
通过我们的使用, 900 在冲了一次电后,使用了 60 个小时。其中通话 20 分钟, 1 个小时的车内 gps 导航, 1 个小时通过 wifi 和 3g 上网,拍了 40 张照片。 Gps 确实很费电,如果不使用的话,可以待机更长时间。如果普通使用,适用一个礼拜没有问题。
The battery is quite a performer
The other thing we found under the battery cover is the memory card slot. Hot swap was nowhere in sight as you have to remove the battery to access it. After all with 8 (up to 16) GB of onboard storage, the main purpose of the card slot is to serve as an extra connectivity option. Still, no hot swap is a loss we just can't get over.
电池下面是存储卡槽,无法热插拔因为需要移出电池。毕竟有了 8-16g 的容量,存储卡的设计也是为了多一种选择。但不支持热插拔也确实是个遗憾。
As a whole, we are really pleased with the construction quality of the Samsung i900 Omnia. It looks sturdy and feels nice in hand, the hefty size aside. We heard no creaks or other disturbing sounds for the time of our review and we also didn't notice any signs of wear and tear although we used it rather heavily.
总体来说,我们对 900 的做工非常满意。 900 看起来结实和漂亮,除了尺寸稍大。在评测中没有任何因为缝隙而发出的响声,而且通过频繁的使用,也没有发现任何磨损的迹象。

Controversial Wide QVGA Display 备受争议的宽 qgva 显示
Samsung i900 Omnia is equipped with a large 3.2" 65K-color display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. As with most PocketPCs, picture quality isn't really impressive. Not that it is too bad either but we've seen Samsung do much better on their feature phones.
900 采用了 3.2 寸 6.5 万色大显示屏,像素 240*400 。如果多数 ppc 一样,图片质量不是非常让人印象深刻,但效果也不差,三星做了很大的改进。
The 3.2" 65K color display of the Omnia leaves us with mixed feelings
The display resolution can also be considered somewhat of a problem at times. Wide QVGA might be great for watching widescreen movies, web browsing and viewing photos but it does bring up some compatibility issues. For example, we had quite a hard time starting the iGO 2008 navigation software on the Omnia. We guess similar issues will arise with other applications too.
屏幕格式也许会被认为是个问题,宽屏幕对于看电影确实不错,但是也带来一些兼容性问题。在启动 igo2008 导航软件的时候,我们遇到了一些困难。我们猜想其它的软件也会带来一些同样的问题。
In terms of sunlight legibility, Samsung i900 Omnia is also far from its prime. It's really hard to see anything on the display outdoors on a sunny day, and finding a proper angle for working with the phone is near impossible. This has a particularly negative effect on photography, as you can hardly see the viewfinder at times.
关于阳光下的表现, 900 同其旗舰身份不符,在阳光明媚的天气下,很难看清屏幕上的任何东西。试图找个合适的角度来使用 900 也近乎不可能。这对拍照确实是个副作用,因为很难从取景器看见东西。
