Samsung Omnia HD Vs Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition

The Samsung Tocco Ultra and the Samsung Omnia HD are two of the latest proffers from the leading mobile manufacturer, each also known by their models names as the S8300 and i8910 respectively.

Touch Screen

The Tocco Ultra has a 2.8 inch OLED touch screen which has a high resolution of 240X400 pixels for display of crisp and vibrant images. The Samsung Omnia HD on the other hand is endowed with a wider touch screen measuring 3.7 inches. The OMOLED screen also has a higher resolution of 360X640 pixels.

So, it can be said that the Omnia HD mobile phone offers better quality images. The touch screen of the Samsung Tocco Ultra uses the Touch Wiz interface and provides tactile feedback- the phone vibrates when touched. But the screen is not responsive enough. The touch screen of the Samsung Omnia HD is capacitive rather that resistive, so the screen is much more responsive to finger flicks.

Since the screen of the Omnia HD is wider than that of the its rival its virtual keyboard is bigger and more finger friendly than the virtual key board of the Tocco Ultra Edition.

The Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra however scores a point over the i8910 by proffering a slider keypad. This keypad is meant to cater to customers who are not comfortable with the absence of physical keys. The Omnia HD being a wholly touch operated phone does not have this advantage.

Camera

The Tocco Ultra has an 8 Mega pixel camera. The handset has to be slid open to reveal the lens, which is an odd feature. The camera has an auto focus feature to allow people with the shakiest hands to click the perfect snap. The Samsung Omnia HD also sports an 8 Mega pixel camera which is transfused with a plethora of features like auto focus, face detection and geo tagging which lets you tag pictures by location.

It is also superior because it is equipped with business card recognition. It has smile and blink shot technologies which make it click snaps only when the subject is smiling and not when he is blinking. Cameras of both phones lack the zoom attribute. The Samsung Tocco Ultra has an LED photo light. The Samsung Omnia HD has only a single LED flash and no dual LED flash as was expected by photography fanatics.

Other Features

The Omnia HD has a very superlative ability to record 720p HD video. It hence tantamounts to a mobile camcorder. With a video resolution of 1280X720 pixels the phone can record 24 frames per second. There are myriad video editing possibilities in the phone. The S8300 Tocco Ultra has the usual mobile phone video recording capabilities and is equipped with a second video call camera in its front.

Both phones have GPRS, Wi Fi technology and HSDPA for augmenting mobile internet experience. Both have music player and FM radio facets too.

The Samsung i8910 Omnia HD is a great choice if you want a hi-tech smart phone. The Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra is apt for those who just want a functional mobile smart phone.

The Top 3 Places to Purchase an International SIM Card

I am not going to use this article to convince you to buy an International SIM Card. I am already assuming that you know the benefits of purchasing one- the fact that you will save a fortune, the fact that people can easily keep in touch with you and the fact that you will be contactable on the same number no matter where you are in the world.

I assume you already know this. I assume you are looking for information on where you can purchase an International SIM card. You have 3 options:

• From a telecommunications store- This option is good if you live near a telecommunications store. You can go in and try out the SIM card and test it yourself to see how it works. The problem is that not everyone lives near a sore that sells these International SIM cards so this may not be an option for you.
• Over the telephone- Some International SIM card dealers give you the opportunity to buy your card over the telephone. This has its advantages as you can ask the dealer any questions you may have. The main concern with this way of getting hold of your SIM is that you are subject to the dealer's bias. They are not giving you an unbiased opinion and will promote their product at the expense of others products in the market.
• Over the internet- In my opinion, the best way to purchase your International SIM card is over the internet. You can easily do Google searches to see what others say about the SIM, and you can compare different SIM cards against each other quite easily and conveniently. This is the best way to work out which card is for you.
