OM-nia
To say that the new Samsung Omnia is my ‘every wish’ is an understatement; it is my only wish.
Everyone’s gone ga-ga over the iPhone 3G but I’m still hesitant to jump into the bandwagon. Sure, it’s a pretty little thing but it doesn’t quite pack a punch unlike the Samsung Omnia.
If there was any sign of love at first sight, this would be it. The slick screen that seem to reflect all the properties of light, the minimalist design that maximizes its functions (a very beautiful oxymoron, I may add), and all of the features I look for in a phone (Windows Mobile, 3G, Bluetooth, 5MP camera, WIFI) is neatly packaged into this – shall I say it? – love machine.
Describing how the Omnia has affected me would be to admit that I am quite infatuated by it. Aside from the giddyness, the heart beating faster, the endless thoughts, and the knowledge of the incomparable loneliness if I lived one more day without it, I have come to see the Omnia as that tranquil place amidst the busy streets of Singapore.
I heard somewhere that Omnia means everything in Latin and wish in Arabic. To me, however, the first thought that came to mind was “OM”, the word that is set to induce some form of relaxation preparing oneself for meditation. It’s not that hard to imagine, really, because the Omnia has everything I need to give me that peace of mind; it can hook me up to the Internet if I want to update my blog (or Twitter, or even Facebook) and help me get to my destination (via GoThere.sg) if I do find myself lost in the streets of this sunny island.
The Omnia has definitely become synonymous to love in the short span of time that its existence became known to me (roughly fifteen minutes) and you’d be blind not to see it.
Now if only I could get my hands on one.
