BlackBerry Storm vs Samsung Omnia?

Question

I want to start my first Verizon plan, as i have recently turned 18.
Im looking for a phone that is great for texting (as that is pretty much all i do and rarley actually call people) and the internet.

I know the Storm has internet, but it dosnt have Wi-Fi.
The Omnia has Wi-Fi and a waaay better camrah (5.0 vs the Storms 3.2)
Does the Wi-Fi make a difference?

and after looking up reviews, it seems the Omnia is slightly [and i use this term very carefully] "better" at these things as critics say the Omnia is faster in the internet area and loading screnes...etc.

What do you think?

the Omnia has wi-fi, i know that.

but is that all it has? cause where i live really dosnt have wi-fi...can the Omnia connect to the internet with something else too like what the Storm uses?

Answer 1

The Omnia is great for multi-media and internet, but the BB will service you better in the text messaging department. Besides, the Omnia uses a Sim Card. Verizon is HSPDA network and a non Verizon branded sim phone will not work on their network. Also, Verizon phones are not WI-FI friendly. You may want to look into AT&T or T-Mobile if you use the Omnia. FYI, the Omina 3G will not work on T-Mobile though.

Answer 2

Samsung Omnia

Answer 3

Get a Blackberry Bold. You don't have to have AT&T. But you will pay the core price ($500).



It is better than the iPhone and Storm.



You should look it up, and see the comparisons. It has everything the iPhone has and then some. It's web browser isn't better though.



With the iPhone you will need to unlock it to use it with another carrier.



Just a thought. I'd pick the storm because it is a blackberry and blackberries kick butt yo.

I extremely have the two one in each and every of them. I initially have been given the Blackberry typhoon and grow to be not too inspired so offered the Omnia at finished retail to have the flexibility to evaluate the two. i could desire to assert that the BB typhoon is the extra effective of the two. It has an excellent extra effective reveal and extra apps that are consumer friendly. The Omnis is enormously cool however the keys are so close jointly on the touch reveal and the telephone runs on residing house windows cellular it is wonderful at suitable. I never have been impresses with something that Samsung has pop out with individually and that's no exception. The accelerometer is so plenty extra reponsive and swifter however! by making use of plenty. It def burn the typhoon in that. Ummm....permit me see what else.....The Bb typhoon has amore consumer friendly interface whilst it is composed of email and text cloth messaging whilst the Omnia, for my area, has merely approximately on previous college look to it and is complicating to customize. techniques you thi is merely my opinion, anybody has distinctive desires and thereby wanting a distinctive form of telephone.in case you have email, financial corporation debts, and different issues which you want to maintain song of i could bypass with the BB on account it is extra consumer friendly. in case you merely like it for leisure purposes, actually i could coose the Dare over the Omnia.

[edit] Introduction

The BlackBerry Storm is the second newest addition to the BlackBerry family. It is part of the BlackBerry 9500 series of phones.[4] It is RIM's first touchscreen device and the first device without a physical keyboard. It features a touchscreen which reacts physically like a button via SurePress, a Research In Motion patented technology of providing haptic feedback. It is available through Vodafone (SFR) in the UK, France, Italy, Ireland, Australia, South Africa (VodaCom) and India; [5] Verizon Wireless in the United States; Telus and Bell in Canada; Iusacell in Mexico.[6] and on bMobile and Digicel in Barbados and other parts of the Caribbean.[7]



The BlackBerry Storm is a world-phone, featuring CDMA with EV-DO Rev. A data, UMTS with HSDPA, and quad-band GSM with EDGE data access speed. However, the BlackBerry Storm only has European, Oceania, Asia and Brazil UMTS and HSDPA frequency bands. Therefore if the BlackBerry Storm is used with GSM wireless carriers in North America, the BlackBerry Storm will only be able to access wireless internet at EDGE data speed maximum. This is because GSM carriers in North America, namely AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers and Fido do not operate on the same frequency bands for 3G as the rest of the world. If BlackBerry Storm is used in Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania or Brazil, HSDPA wireless data speed can be achieved, provided that the local GSM networks support it.[8] The phone will use the primary network technology of its intended carrier (Verizon) when traveling domestically in the US, and rely upon the GSM/UMTS/HSDPA networks of Vodafone mainly when traveling abroad. There are currently no unlocked and unbranded versions available for the GSM Blackberry Storm however unlocking the phone will allow it to be used with any GSM service provider. [9]



It is intended to be a direct competitor to Apple iPhone 3G, the T-Mobile G1 by HTC[10] and the HTC Touch family.





[edit] Hardware

Touchscreen: The Storm uses a "SurePress" glass capacitive touchscreen which provides haptic feedback - clicks physically depress the screen into the phone. The screen's settings can be adjusted so that double tapping can be employed as an alternate method to select and navigate the phone.

Display: 3.25 in (8.3 cm) TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive scratch-resistant screen with 360 X 480 pixel resolution and able to display 65,536 colours. The touchscreen eliminates the need for use of a stylus as it uses a capacitive touchscreen. The touchscreen also provides haptic feedback when it is used.

CPU: The Storm utilizes the MSM7600 from Qualcomm[11] a dual core CPU with ARM11 400 MHz and ARM9 274 MHz.

Battery: The Storm features a user-replaceable, rechargeable DX-1 Li-ion battery stated to be capable of providing up to 5.5 hours of GSM talk time, 6 hours of CDMA talk time, or 360 hours of standby.

Text Input: The Storm implements a virtual keyboard on its touchscreen. Using its accelerometer allows the user to switch between a virtual SureType keyboard when held in portrait mode, and in a full QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode. Newer versions of the operating system also allow for a full QWERTY keyboard while in portrait mode. The device has an automatic spell check correction, and predictive text.

Camera: The device features a built-in 3.2 megapixel camera located on back which features a flash, autofocus, and has video recording capabilities with a maximum resolution of 480 x 352 pixels.

Memory: The device features 1GB of onboard memory and an expandable memory slot support for a microSD card of up to an additional 16GB. Verizon Wireless includes a preinstalled 8GB microSD card onboard.

Headphone Jack: The device has a standard 3.5 mm stereo audio jack.

Bluetooth: The device supports Bluetooth v2.0, Bluetooth Stereo Audio via A2DP and AVCRP.



[edit] Critical reception

The Storm was met with generally mixed reviews, some focusing on serious usability problems in particular. Many gadget reviewers, including Bonnie Cha of CNET[12], Joshua Topolsky of Engadget[13] and Sascha Segan from PC Magazine[14] noted the Storm's much-improved web browser and impressive call quality, while also deeming the SurePress touchscreen difficult to learn and a hindrance to fast typing. Several reviews also noted that the web browser was still unable to handle complex webpages correctly, saying that the iPhone's MobileSafari is still a better mobile browser. A number of reviewers also ran into multiple software glitches during their testing, such as lockups, sluggish performance and refusal to switch orientation[15]. The lack of Wi-Fi support also irked a few revie
