The '''[[Company:Samsung|Samsung]] SGH-i900''', also known as '''Omnia I''' or '''WiTu'''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.witu.ru |title=witu.ru |publisher=witu.ru |access-date=2013-10-04}}</ref> (in Russia only), is a [[Engineering:Smartphone|smartphone]] created by Samsung Mobile. Announced in June 2008, the Omnia was launched in Singapore in mid-June, available in stores on the 20th of June, and in the rest of Asia in July. For some parts of Europe, it was launched in August. It was made available for the United States in December 2008 through [[Company:Verizon Wireless|Verizon Wireless]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Hot-new-phones-coming-to-Verizon-next-month-article-a_3375.html |title=Hot new phones coming to Verizon next month! |publisher=Phonearena.com |access-date=2013-10-04}}</ref> and for Canada in April 2009 through Telus Mobility.

The Omnia was Samsung Mobile's top-of-the-line flagship handset. It runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, but comes other applications preinstalled to make its GUI and its functions distinguishable from others running the same platform:

*Samsung Today Screen 1 (alternative home screen UI)
*Samsung Today Screen 2 (similar to Samsung Today Screen 1)  
*Samsung Touch Wiz UI (alternative application menu with a widget bar and widgets)

All these applications have the ability to be controlled by sliding the finger across the screen. The third Today Screen has gained interest because of its control method. It uses about a fourth of the screen on the left side to hold a bar of widgets that can be scrolled up and down. The rest of the screen is customizable, as widgets can be pulled out of the sidebar and onto the main screen to be expanded for quick use.

==Camera==
The Samsung Omnia has a 5.0-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. Additionally Samsung Omnia supports VGA resolution video recording with about 20 - 25 frame/s. Samsung Omnia's front-facing 3G camera has a resolution of 0.3 megapixels (VGA).

==Korean edition (T*Omnia)==
[[File:Samsung T*OMNIA Main.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
[[Company:SK Telecom|SK Telecom]] and Samsung announced a Korean edition of Samsung Omnia, '''T*Omnia''' or '''SCH-M490'''. '''T''' is a brand name marketed by SK Telecom. The hardware has been upgraded to have a {{convert|3.3|in|mm|adj=on}} Wide VGA (800 x 480) LCD screen and a PXA312 CPU that automatically overclocks up to 806&nbsp;MHz. An S-DMB tuner has replaced the TV-out and FM tuner. The 4 GB version (SCH-M490) is priced at KRW68,000, and the 16&nbsp;GB (SCH-M495) at KRW1,078,000 including 10% VAT.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newswire.co.kr/?job=news&no=372973 |title=삼성전자, 전지전능 T*옴니아 드디어 출시 |language=ko |publisher=Newswire.co.kr |access-date=2013-10-04}}</ref>

==Japanese edition (930SC)==
In Japan, SoftBank Mobile announced that the Samsung Omnia will be sold as '''930SC''' in November 2008. However, it adopted the proprietary operating system instead of Windows Mobile. It has a {{convert|3.3|in|mm|adj=on}} Wide VGA LCD and [[Company:1seg|1seg]] tuner, but [[Engineering:GPS|GPS]] has been excluded. It is also available for SoftBank Mobile's own mobile Internet service.

==North American edition (SCH-i910)==
[[File:Omnia 910.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
The Samsung Omnia has been released under the version name SCH-i910 in North America, with [[Company:Verizon Wireless|Verizon Wireless]] as the network operator. The SCH-i910 has a speaker on the back and has [[Engineering:CDMA2000|CDMA2000]] instead of the GSM radio. The SCH-i910 still runs [[Software:Windows Mobile|Windows Mobile]] 6.1 along with some added software such as Visual Voicemail. Most other features stay the same as the SCH-i900. Most noticeably, the i910 does not include the secondary VGA camera on the front; presumably due to the lack of support for video calls in North America. The North American version of the phone uses the same 624&nbsp;MHz chip used by other versions. This has been confirmed by numerous North American users through the "settings" menu on the Omnia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1465998&page=2&pp=15 |title=Verizon Verizon Samsung Omnia - MSM7500 400mhz CPU instead of Marvell 624mhz CPU = SUCKS - Page 2 |publisher=Howardforums.com |date=2008-11-30 |access-date=2013-10-04}}</ref>
