I am going to get either the Xperia or the Omnia, the only question is which. I would like opinions from others please.
Thanks in advance.
Personally I'd choose Touch Pro.
it really depend on if you want a keyboard or not as on xperia got one
and higher screen res but lower mpixel cam
but some rumors say that xperia may not get released untill feb 2009
FYI...here's the so called official omnia thread for info:

Thanks for the info galaxys
the camera - Samsung cameras (on phones) are never as good as Sony Ericsson or even LG. Even the G800 with it's so-called 'optical zoom' is rubbish.
Last Christmas I had a LG Viewty, Sony Ericsson K850i and Samsung G800. The K850i camera was much better, even better than the N95 camera.
And yes, I know how to use a camera, and what exposure and focus to use.
The 16 gb version of the Omnia is only being released in the US.
xperia hands down

But Xperia will be produced by HTC. Then we do not know if it will have a great Sony Ericsson's CCD matrix or poor HTC's CMOS matrix. There is no point in this discussion until we see any pictures taken by it.
hm?

What ? Which source mention this ? How do you know that Xperia will be under HTC development? Did SE joined forces with HTC on Xperia platform ?
Check this out about camera and picture quality among these phones : http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=289
Xperia will be availiable in Sweden since mid of October.
I vote for the HD definetly!
the 16 gig omnia was on orange but im not sure if it still is
i have it
the camera is **** hot
Sony the one and only...
when my Uni dies,(not any time soon) i will probably look at the X1 as long as Sony supports this phone it should be pretty good. I'm not a fan of sliders but I have to have a key board the TV out is also a cool feature and who knows maybe a mini Blue-Ray recorder,lol,. Dual expansion slots would've helped since I have a bunch of Memory-sticks collecting dust
i have both omnia n xperia and i must say,omnia kick xperia's ass big time...why u ask?? here's why...
*note:comparison are based on out of box experience.
1)accelerometer based applications + games rules,
2)camera rules,camera features like face detection,smile detection,mutiple scenery mode,lanscape mode,business card scanner,5mp still can zoom in(xperia 3mp but cannot zoom,only can zoom at 2mp settings & below)
3)samsung provide on going official firmware update
4)"end user" provide on going custom firmware update
5)omnia code like *#0002*28346# allow volume cuztomisation.So far there's no such code for xperia volume hack yet.but i could be wrong
6)built in 8gb or 16gb memory.(dun even need a micro sd card anymore)
7)omnia widget is far more useful compare to xperia panel(especially the stupid fish panel)
8)Taking pics with xperia is a pain!! camera shutter speed is too slow.really need a super steady hand to take decent pics or else pics will blurr!!
well, these are my personal experience with both phones.....cheers...sorry for bad english.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
thx al3xband for the comments.. I still struggling between xperia and omnia. Prefer Xperia coz it is from SE, have keyboard but the price too exp. Now wonder if I shall get a white color Omnia from Singtelshop...

The camera on the Tipo is pretty crappy. I recently looked at photos taken on a 3-year-old Nokia phone (S60 Symbian) and my Tipo on a large computer screen. The two phone cameras have nominally exactly the same number of pixels, 2048 x 1536 = 3.15 M, but the pictures from the Nokia were a lot sharper. The Tipo photos looked quite blurry in comparison. All were taken in good daylight. I don't know the exact Nokia model, and I don't have that phone handy. It was priced similarly to the Tipo, but 3 years ago.
The camera on the Tipo is basically only suitable for emergency snapshots when you don't have anything better handy, and even then only in daylight. There's effectively no low-light capability at all, and no flash. You do kinda get what you pay for. Of course, some might like the blur and wonky white balance as an artistic effect
I already know that the tipo has 3mp
I want to know that what is the difference between ion's front camera and tipo's back camera because ion's front camera's picture quality is better then tipo
Price is the main difference... use of better hardware and all that...

Mine would be the Xperia Z, with the serial number on the bottom and bottom of the back removed, the volume rockers on the left side.
The LED notification light should be a wide bar on the bottom middle like on the Xperia ZL to keep it symmetrical,
It should have Samsung Galaxy S4's 5" Super Amoled display with it's spectacular viewing angles and saturated colors and under that, the 3 soft keys and the glass protecting the front and back should be Gorilla Glass 3
It sould also have the Octo-core processor of the international Galaxy S4 and it should also have the Xperia Tablet Z's double tap to wake feature since it has no physical buttons on the front.
It should have the Xperia Z's 13.1MP camera, but it should also be able to take 16:9 pictures in maximum quality, and a front facing camera that can shoot 3MP pictures and 1080p video for Skype and other video chatting equivalents.
It's available in 16, 32 and 64GB, and that memory is ALL available, and not 25% for software.
The plastic hexoskeleton that keeps the glass front and back together should be made of aluminium instead.
It should come pre-rooted with Android 4.2.2 with the latest build of ClockworkMod Recovery pre-installed and HTC Sense, TouchWiz or Xperia UI should be optional in both phone or phablet UI.
And last of all it should have a 3100 mAh non-removable battery with the possibility of wireless charging.
I'd pay anything for a phone like that!
Now tell me what your ideal phone would be.

No reasons, no points, no arguments .. just better.
For someone like me who keeps his tablet and phone functions to 2 separate devices, the Sony Xperia ZR for me is the perfect phone.
- it's beautiful physically, no cheap plastic like Samsung or trying too hard to be chic like Huawei. And it's not just another rectangular block of plastic. From afar, you can tell it's an Xperia, not a Samsung or Apple unit. Makes me stand slightly apart from the me-too crowd going ga-ga over the latest Galaxy or iPhone.
- waterproof up to 1.5m underwater, so you don't need to worry about the occasional spill or sweat in your pocket. Heck, Sony's ad for it even advertises shooting videos underwater.
- the 4.6" screen is big enough for viewing most texts/tweets/chat apps and still is handy enough for one-handed operation.
- 13mp camera! (are you listening, HTC? What's with a lame 4-mp camera on your top-shelf model? No wonder even your chief technology officer resigned!)
- 2gb RAM. Keeping abreast with the latest Samsung and even ahead of the iPhone 5's 1gb-RAM. If you like flashing things and loading up on apps, 2gb RAM is a godsend!
*Now for the fantasy phone: just take the Xperia ZR, bump the battery up to 3,000mAh, at the same time keeping the phone thickness to around 10mm
~put at least a 2-mp front cam on it
~at least 32gb internal mem, with expandable microSD up to 128gb
~put in air gestures so one-handed operation would be even more heavenly
~Corning Glass 3 shatter-proof glass

HTC was probably nearing the deadline and out of panic they slapped a 4MP camera on it and thought of a name that idiots would love to brag about xD
And BTW, 2MB RAM? I prefer 2000MB RAM

My heart perfect Android smartphones
■OS: Android 4.2.2
■CPU: quad core
■RAM: 1 GB
■ROM: 8 GB
■12 MP camera, full HD video recording, 8 MP front camera
■Battery: 3000 mAh
The most important point: the price below $ 200
I think I will agree with Xperia Z as the best smartphone for me. The only thing I'd add to it is a more powerful battery.

Why 1GB if RAM? 2 gigs at least for me
Also "quad core" is kinda vague. I'm thinking a snapdragon 800 would do the trick.
On a side note, there are actually a ton of phones that meet your criteria and then some (1080p screen anybody?) all for around $200. The catch? They're China knockoffs and have the mt6589 processor which, while it is quad core, is nowhere near as powerful as even a s4 pro, which is previous gen itself.

sure, n4 has flaws but notice how i did not say anything about software
i prefer n4 flaws all the way over other phones with lag on the OS, hell no, i can´t stand lag and bloat, if i wanted lag i would buy another nokia, the true king of lag, non nexus android are just amateurs in lag
Hi peeps,
I am not sure about you guys, but I am very happy abt Z3 camera and its features, I came from Z1 and the camera is good too!
I notice some did mention or some of my friends saying Sony camera suck and that the Z3 camera is not as good as samsung s3 or other brands bah bah bah....
But I asked, what Sony phones are you conparing with and what are the camera or display settings of the Z3 phones. Then I reliased the following issues
1) Some are using Xperia Z ultra to compare with Samsung S3. Z ultra only have 8 MP and no ISO settings so if u want to use a mid range camera to fight with a higher range phone who will lose out? Just like I used a 20MP Z3 with the same setting I will surely win...
He also mention the Z ultra camera pic cannot tell the color difference between white and yellowish white but when I took the same pic, with my Z3, he was shocked....
2) Z3 camera by default has set to 8/15 MP for 16:9. So the pic is not the best yet. You need to change the settings....
3) Off the HDR & Display Enhencment settings, u will see a better quality photo on screen and on PC...
4) If you are using matt, anti finger print or privacy screen protectors, please dont even bother to complain abt the screen quality.... You are using a few dollar to cover up 100 dollar stuff...
5) Only a few case is factory defects which need u to send out for repairs... Nothing is perfect just that u are the few unlucky ones to get a defected product...
I agree with you! I also don't have any complain about the camera at all. It performs well without a hitch. Superb quality and detail.
All I disagree with is the screen one. The screen isn't very good with or without a screen protector. Brightness at the expense of screen quality is a bad move.

Sony does not make fkus even after 10 times autofocus, lg g3 first picture is extra
