iphone 3G is a dumb phone. if possible, get iphone 3GS atleast. Also, there are better phones than these two. like HTC Desire, Samsung B7610 etc. What's your budget and what are the requirements.

[OT] @OP: At what price your are getting the Omnia HD?

@desiibond: I want a smartphone, preferably android, capacitive touch screen, 3.2inch or more (mainly for browsing), good camera and music support, budget the least the better :D

Please don't suggest spica, as it's not available anywhere :(

how much? among the two you mentioned, Samsung Omnia HD I8910 16gb is the better pick (actually, lot better even though the OS is becoming old). Reasons are:

1) Bigger, sharper and better display

2) Better audio quality

3) far better camera

4) superb procressor (Cortex A8 that powers iphone 3GS)

5) out of the box divx support

6) much better talktime

Still Omnia is much better. The capacitive touch on Omnia is definitely good and given then it's AMOLED display, it will be lot better for videos etc and at the same time, consumes less power.

Even w/ andy's latest rom (Hx v5), the UI was still a bit laggy at times, but with the launch of SPB v3.5 for S60v5, accessing apps and stuff is so much easier and convenient.

The only issues still left are music player KS, no mkv/h264 support, no VOIP and no Call recording.
If you can live with these issues, then go for it! Plus you have a shit load of apps for s60v5.

One more thing I would like to mention, the app RoadSync, which comes free with the i8910.

It's a killer app which along with your mail, sync all your phone contacts, calender with Google.

Yep mohit, the omnia OP is talking about belongs to me currently. m using Hxv5 on it and i havent faced any lag issues till now. though SPB shell has added some charm to it. call recording wares are there. but i didnt find any of those any useful. mkv supports suck sometime. can expect it in future through some firmware update. Kastor effects also add to the phone's beauty. if the deal goes on, i'll give him hxv6 on which Andy is currently working. Hope to get something better with it.

and +1 to Roadsync.

still, x10 mini and HD Mini too stand no chance against Omnia HD. What you can do is check with Samsung if you can get warranty extension on Omnia HD, in which case, you can be a bit relaxed.

Dude, its in no way baseless, look at the specs of the Omnia and the Iphone, calling the iPhone dumb is very much an under-statement!

Ranging from the AMOLED Screen to the 8MP camera to the A8 processor the Omnia kicks the Iphone's a$$!
