Samsung Omnia vs Sony Ericsson Xperia

ustarion · 28-12-2008, 14:07

I think I'll be upgrading to one of these phones in January or February (hopefully when the prices fall a bit more).

The only thing that seems to separate them is that the Xperia is a lot heavier and the camera has less megapixels. Although I'm told that Samsung cameras are crap anyway. Also the Xperia has a qwerty keyboard.

Although, I'm still leaning towards the Xperia. Any other observations?

I have used Omnia since September and quite happy with it - camera is not great . Has been very reliable and fine if like me you are used to windows mobile. Qwerty keyboard is used on omnia - you can have it portrait and/or landscape mode. Music player is very good - lot dpeends on how you want to use it - what is prioirty for you - camera is not v important to me

Try before you buy. Most retail shops will let you try phones. I've done it even though I wasn't buyong retail.

I didn't like the Omnia keyboard and went for a Blackberry Bold as the Experia wasn't out at the time.

Ive got an Experia! GET IT!!! Im just about to earn £10 off someone guaranteeing that Im going to hate the phone by the 5th of Jan, hmmm not a chance!!!!!!!!!!!
As I wanted more texts and stuff for the money I signed up to a 24 month contract with the phone and as weary as I was that it was a long time, I reckon Im going to have this phone for the next 10 years!!!!!
