Samsung Omnia SGH-i677 W

Despite the Windows 8 suck, windows phone is pretty cool. Fast, reliable and very nice design.

Had already spoken about another phone with windows phone, the Nokia Lumia. This is the Samsung Omnia.

Both phones are quite similar. The two have 1.4 GHz CPUs with the same camera and RAM and Gorilla Glass to protect the display. To compare the specifications of the phones you can access this link from GSMARENA.

A difference in favor of Omnia is the AMOLED display, and maybe this is the reason to be a little more expensive than the Lumia. The price of Omnia revolves around R$700 -800.

The battery is also a bit larger in Omina, 1500 against 1300mAh of Lumia.

If we compare with Android, windows phone phones are more expensive and don't have, still, Chinese models.

The simplicity of the windows phone design follows the standard windows 8. But on the phone the interface makes so much more sense than the desktop version.

Everything is made to be simple. Icons without transparency, borders or shadows. Designed to be fast.

With the new windows phone 7.8 You can put different sized icons on the home screen.

See only if this is not the simplest Dialer you've ever seen…

In the games we have the possibility of connecting to the network of Xbox and save results as well as share them with other users.

There is a Market for windows phone as the Google Android Play. Too bad they don't have as many options. In Samsung phones you also have access to Samsung Zone, with specific applications.

The browser is so, just a screen with a bar at the bottom with the address.

You can download the Facebook application but does not work very well. Is very slow! Lose up to version Android.

In the settings have the simplistic design to the extreme. It's like a text mode.

But I don't care about the design and the functionality. Windows phone, Unlike Android, rarely crashes.

Applications that are not on the home screen are accessible for this list. There is a screen similar to this in windows 8 Desktop, but there is absolutely ridiculous in a big monitor.

5 m pixels camera is sufficient for most applications, and AutoFocus and Flash.

A pity that the battery is not a little bigger, only 1500mAh. With 2000 or 2500 We would have a far more reliable phone. Battery life is next to a day of moderate use.

This seems to be the default windows phone. Phones with simple design and small battery.

The phone is pretty good, a great alternative for those who do not like the typical slowness and unreliability of Android. Compared to the Iphone, windows phone phones are cheaper and simpler with the same guarantee of running an operating system made specifically for the hardware. Too bad both lose to Android in number in number of applications and games on the Market.

Anyone want to buy an Omnia not worth looking for in China. Best buy in a store here in Brazil even as the price difference is small. I leave the link of the price comparison site rocket:
