Despite the lagged period between production and retail, the Samsung Omnia II is still a solid piece of hardware. Setting that beside the latest Google ace, the Nexus One, we wonder in what areas is the Samsung Omnia II better than Nexus One?
What does Samsung Omnia II do better than Nexus One?
Or at least, what does Samsung Omnia II has that Nexus One does not. Here is a list:
- Hardware Buttons: The 2 additional hardware buttons and the 4 actions that comes with it allows Omnia II users to set shortcuts to a variety of actions.
- File Explorer: A component of Windows Mobile that some love and some hates. Nonetheless, it gives users window to the files on their device.
- Task Switcher: Switching between tasks is a natural action on Windows systems, same applies for Windows Mobile. While multi-tasking is also available on the Nexus One, it doesn’t quite work the same as a switching between applications.
- Items on Today screen: Samsung Omnia II has a more customized today screen listing providing information including schedule, tasks, incoming messages/calls, and more.
- Touch Experience: Some actual user have laid down the claim that he’s struggling with the hard-surface capacitive touchscreen on the Nexus One. The resistive touchscreen on the Samsung Omnia II provides a naturally soft-to-touch experience (touchscreen Analysis included in video.)

It looks to me like the Omnia II has a more accurate screen, but the Nexus One seems to be more responsive.
The main difference between the touchscreen is the hardness. Nexus One’s capacitive screen is much harder than the resistive screen that’s the main cause of the accuracy and sensitivity.
Can you show us a comparison on surfing websites on both of these phones? Thanks!
Windows Mobile forever.

It’s better split hardware and operating systems for better comparison.
Before I flashed ROM; WM 6.5.3, I was disappointed with slow performance on Omnia II i920. Now I am happy with fast performance after flashing ROM.
But, applications on windows mobiles still very few attractive.
