The M8800 is not really competing with the omnia as there’s no mention of an OS, so it can’t be a smart phone. I would prefer a 5MP windows mobile phone than an 8MP with no OS.

hope they put samsung own os so it won't conflict with wm6.1 hehe

The Samsung Pixon (m8800) launches with Orange UK in November. Its NOT a competitor to the Omnia, as it doesnt run windows.
Think it of it a more a cross between the tocco and the Innov8 (i8510)

the device is not windows mobile but the samsung touch wiz software

The INNOV8 is for sale in portugal, and I played with it already... Only the camera is good, them it's just another phote with Wi-Fi.. And the Symbian on it isn't that great...

You need to remember that as long as your happy with your phone it shouldnt matter. Im slowly getting happyish with my i900 (IT needs ALOT of tweaking). Igo 8 and tomto m working great also. as for thos who mention Samsung i8510 INNOV8 etc. Bare in mind the i8510 is not REALY better etc becase it has symbian o/s and NO touch screen!!

look at apple... they have released iPhone, made sure that everyone is happy with it, made it clear with its limitations to the market, continued developing and making sure it is as great as it can be, then they released iPhone 3G one year later (perfect timing for any one changing their phones) and DISCONTINUED old iphone so they can concentrate on this one... they release clear rom images with release notes and official updates... they make sure that everybody knows about the bugs and fixes and continue enhancing...

Yes, well, in my opinion, Apple aren't that perfect.  I bought the 3G as soon as it came out as Steve Jobs announced it had 3G and built in GPS.  I thought great, the two things my 1st gen iPhone didn't have.  

Advertising built-in GPS on the iPhone is one thing, but  six months since it's release (ok, 4 months) we're still waiting for some sort of useful Sat Nav software it.  All it's good for at the moment is to pin-point your current location and tell you where the nearest coffee bar is, and it even needs network access to download the Google maps too.  I say a big sarcastic "whoopee doo".

All the new Windows Mobile devices with built-in GPS either have some sort of Sat Nav pre-installed, or have a choice on which one to purchase, TomTom, CoPilot, Garmin etc.  At least with those, you know exactly what you're getting, and don't have to wait all this time to actually make full use of some of its advertised features.  Plus, the maps are pre-installed, so can be used in those locations where network signal is low, and no need to download constantly when on the move.

I personally feel a bit cheated by Apple because of this. OK, they're constantly ironing out those little bugs, but come on Steve Jobs, let TomTom release that iPhone version we all know they've got working, and let us use this device to it's full potential, i.e  the same potential some of these new Windows Mobile devices, such as the Omnia, can do out of the box.

Well I agree to what one of you said about being satisfied with what you have bought. I have both the innov8 and Omnia.  They were only purchased for the fact that the Hardware specs and OS Implementation is way superior to Nokia or HTC. It's always a healthy things to compare your phones  and buy only when your satisfied with what it delivers.

TBH in the size of sensor it will have will make the 8mp shooter worse than the 5 in the omnia, saturation of the small sensors occurs over 5mp so an 8mp sensor is a waste of time in a phone. Other than that can't say i'm that bothered.
