Samsung GT-i8910 Omnia HD is a smartphone manufactured by Samsung Electronics, first announced at MWC 2009 on February 18, 2009. The device was the first phone capable of playing and recording 720p HD video.[2] It runs on the S60 5th Edition (Symbian^1) platform, the only Samsung device to do so.
The HD comes in two versions: with 8 or 16 GB of integrated storage, both having a hot-swappable microSD card slot handling up to 32 GB. The i8910 HD is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset with tri-band UMTS support, HSDPA (up to 7.2 Mbit/s) and HSUPA (up to 5.76 Mbit/s) support. The Australian release supports the UMTS 2100/900 Mhz frequency band, making it dual band UMTS and operational on Optus' 'yes G' dual band network but not on Telstra's 'Next G' network, as that operates on the UMTS 850 Mhz band only. In this instance the GSM network would be used (slower speeds, no video calls, etc.).

It has an 8-megapixel camera with the industry-first 720p HD video recording at 24 frame/s. Other imaging assets include geotagging, face detection, smile detection and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) setting. The i8910 HD runs on Symbian (on Symbian s60 5th edition), with Samsung's TouchWiz interface.[3]** The camera at normal settings clicks photos at 4:3 aspect ratio. But can also click at 16:9 aspect ratio by downscaling to 6-megapixel (w6m).
HD and seek
The i8910 is billed as the first phone with high-definition-quality video recording, butthat may be overstating the case somewhat. High definition means more than justgood resolution, and, at 24 frames per second, the i8910 doesn't deliver theframe rate or lack of noise that you'd get from an HD camcorder. In fact,it's nowhere near, but that doesn't mean that its 720p quality doesn't blowevery other mobile phone out of the water. Although the i8910's video is jerkyand noisy compared to a Blu-ray movie, it would be fantastic for uploading yourhigh-quality shenanigans to YouTube.
Symbian gets touchy
At first glance, the i8910 looks like it's rocking the same userinterface as the Tocco Ultra,which we liked a great deal. It has a larger version of the spectacular AMOLEDscreen, and the same homescreen with customisable widgets that can show thingslike photos of your contacts or a mini media player. But pop the hood andthere's a major difference -- the i8910 sports the Symbian operating systeminside, and that means this is a fully fledged smart phone.
Our i8910 had good applications included, however, so you may notbother downloading anything. For example, there's a search app that searchesfor anything on the phone, such as contacts, messages and music files. There'salso Quickoffice, for editing Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.
The i8910supports background processes, so you can keep the Web browser window openwhile you go off and write a text message, for example. But all this multitasking can lead to a very sluggishphone, if you tend to bounce around without closing things down.
And that's just one example of the ways in which the i8910 stillfalls short of the usability bar set by the iPhone.There's very restricted multitasking on the iPhone, and it's missing keyfeatures like copy and paste, but the i8910's flexibility and power comes at aprice. The user interface is more complicated and less intuitive, and performanceslowed down when we pushed the phone to its limits.
Tapping and typing
The i8910's glossy black plastic body, trimmed with a chrome edge, andtouchscreen goodness can't help but prompt comparisons with the iPhone. But itsreal peer is Nokia's touchscreen phones, such as the N97,which runs the same powerful Symbian smart-phone operating system.
In thatbattle, the i8910 comes out as the clear winner. It's biggest strengths are itscapacitive touchscreen, which is much more responsive and pleasant to use than the N97's resistive touchscreen, andthe graphic design which makes Symbian a desirable, touchable system instead ofa bland workhorse left over from a keyboard past, as is the case with the N97.
One area where Samsung's effortdoes suffer is with the widgets on the homescreen. Like the N97, the i8910 hasa customisable homescreen, on which you can drag and drop widgets for things likecontacts. But the N97's widgets show live updates from services like Facebook,or live news feeds. The i8910's widgets are more basic and won't give you liveupdates.
The i8910 offers three on-screen text-input choices: an alphanumeric keyboard in portrait or landscape screenorientation, a Qwerty keyboard in landscape only, or handwriting recognition.We found the keys larger than average for a touchscreen phone and easy to useat top speed, with no delay. The predictive text worked well in thealphanumeric keyboard mode, but there's no predictive text when using theQwerty keyboard. We really missed this feature, which makes fast, error-free typingsignificantly easier on a soft keyboard.
Megapixel megastar
The back of the i8910 sports the large lens of an 8-megapixel camera, withan LED photo light. We were impressed by the photo quality, even without theLED light in low light conditions. But the LED light proved way too harsh insome shots, wiping out detail. Shutter lag is moderate, with about a secondand a half between pressing the button and taking a photo. But looking atphotos could sometimes be a slow process, as the photo viewer took a second or two toload the 8-megapixel image.
There's plenty of room for the bigimages and videos thanks to the 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, and there's room for up to32GB more in the microSD memory card slot. You can also pack that space full ofmusic. The i8910 supports heaps of formats, including MP3, AAC and WMA. You canlisten to music on your own headphones too, thanks to the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Ifit's all too much effort, there's also a good old-fashioned FM radio to keepyou entertained.
Conclusion
The Samsung i8910 HD shows Nokia how to make a fun, usable,attractive touchscreen phone sporting the Symbian S60 operating system. Withoutthe Ovi Store, it won't be as easy to get apps onto this phone as it is with the N97,but that downside is far outweighed by the i8910's gorgeous 94mm (3.7-inch) AMOLEDscreen and responsive capacitive touchscreen. The i8910's support formultitasking occasionally makes it sluggish, but that's a trade-off you may bewilling to make in exchange for the ability to keep so many balls in the air.
That great screen, huge memory ofup to 48GB, 3.5mm headphone jack and support for a wide range of file formatsmake the i8910 an excellent entertainment phone. And, with unmatched videorecording and speedy upload speeds, you can keep everyoneelse entertained with your own movies too.
Last week saw my departure from safe waters into the world of hardware modding, in an attempt to get round the problems in Samsung's latest firmware for its i8910 HD flagship, ending with me installing firmware 3.17. In this followup article, I talk about what came next, some of the issues I faced, how I tried to overcome them and what I've had to learn to live without.
I then worked through the install steps needed and ended up with HX 3.17 firmware installed and working, with the following two major benefits (over and above the i8910's usual charms - masses of RAM, 3.7" OLED screen, HD camcorder, loud speakers, etc):
The pre-focus works really well, letting you film close up and in crisp focus! The raw sound after flashing the HX 3.17 firmware had lots of hiss - it was effectively the raw capture from the i8910 HD's microphone, so I also took a moment to download HyperX's 'Noise suppression' patch, which chops out all the hiss, at the expense of 'gating' the audio slightly, an effect which isn't ideal, though you do have to know what you're listening for in order to spot it.
Podcatcher is meant for Symbian^3 though, and so relies on Music player to pick up the shows and handle the playing. Now, the HX firmware has a speed trick up its sleeve for music - to keep refreshes fast, it only looks in \Music on each disk - and, curiously, even if you tell Podcatcher to put its podcasts inside '\Music' the shows still don't show up on the i8910 HD with this firmware. So Music player's out. Which leaves using File manager as your way in to play podcasts - they're all handily sorted by podcast name, so it's not too much of a bother, thankfully. It's just a little weird to have to keep going to File manager when I want to play a downloaded podcast!
Next up was the people's champion in the Symbian world, Gravity, now far more than a Twitter client. And it works superbly here, again using that responsive, huge OLED screen to good effect. More to the point, text entry on the i8910 HD's virtual QWERTY keyboard was excellent, for entering tweets and status updates. There's no auto-correction, sadly - blame Symbian for this omission - but the screen's large enough that mistakes are quite rare.
BBC iPlayer recognised the i8910 HD as usual and, as usual, allowed streaming access to the BBC's stored programmes. I guess asking HyperX to spoof the necessary certificates for DRM-locked downloads was asking too much - and I'm also guessing the phone would have had to have pretended to 'be' something different?
My regular secure database (i.e. where I keep PINs and passwords) is Hand Safe Pro, as regular readers will know. Yet this depends, crucially, on syncing the desktop and mobile versions over Nokia's PC Suite. What on earth would happen over syncing a (ahem) modified i8910 HD over the Samsung PC Studio link? With my heart in my mouth I installed the Handy Safe Pro desktop client and hit 'Sync' - and it worked first time - these guys at Epocware are real pros....
The other sync issue (and apologies to Windows users, who may want to skip this paragraph) proved to be a slightly tougher nut to crack - how to sync my Mac's Address book and iCal to the i8910 HD. With Nokia phones, this is trivial, in that Nokia's programmers knock up iSync plugins for every phone - you just download the one you want and hey, you're syncing with your Mac. Samsung do no such thing, but thankfully a third party, Nova Media, has jumped in to fill the gap: "iSync plugins for Mac OS X". These are commercial but not expensive - for just less than 10 you get three licenses for three different phones (from a variety of manufacturers, so you'll probably keep two 'activations' in hand for future non-Nokia phones on various platforms). 0852c4b9a8
