Talk about contentious: Samsung’s Omnia i900 has been heralded as everything from the best Windows Mobile smartphone yet, to the oft-fabled iPhone killer. Take a look at the spec sheet and you can see why, with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, GPS, haptic feedback and a choice of 8GB or 16GB internal storage, the Omnia [...]

Our editor Kim Poh at SlashPhone spotted Samsung’s latest touch screen phone at Communicasia 2008 in Singapore and has hands-on time with it. The phone is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 and accompanied by TouchWiz to allow user to navigate the menus a lot quicker and easier.
Several hands-on iPhone 3G reports from after the WWDC 2008 Keynote are out, and as you might expect they’re all saying pretty much the same thing.
