This isn't the first time that Samsung has tried to take on the current touch-screen king, Apple. The two previous attempts, the Armani and F480, failed to make any real dent in the iPhone market. But those two phones were nothing like the i900 Omnia, a quad-band candy bar with a 3.2 inch display and a camera that, at 5 megapixels, is simply overpowered when compared to today's similar touch-screen handsets.

The Omnia's specs reads off like a geek's wishlist of smartphone features: Windows Mobile 6.1. Accelerometer. HSDPA 850/1900. 16 gigabytes of storage. 624 mhz processor. Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP. 5 megapixel camera with image stabilization, autofocus, and flash. GPS. TV out. 1440 mAh battery that provides 5 hours and 50 min of battery life. And it keeps going, and going, and going...

The bottom line is simple: the i900 Omnia can do pretty much anything you want it to. It has the distinct advantage over its predecessors with the inclusion of the Windows Mobile operating system, and a ridiculous feature set to boot. But will it make a dent in the iPhone market?
