Samsung's Omnia HD and Beat DJ unveiled in massive MWC ad

Samsung has plastered MWC's host city of Barcelona with huge ads depicting its new Ultra Touch handset, alongside the previously unannounced Omnia HD and Beat DJ. We've spotted both of these handsets previously, the former being a dead ringer for the incredibly-specced Acme i8910, and the latter being that M7600 set which sports a Bang & Olufsen amplifier in a Ocean-like form factor. There's nothing else revealed by the ad, but we're obviously expecting to find out a lot more this coming week once the show proper gets underway.

The Ultra Touch and Omnia HD look extremely promising.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 8:37PM]

I have to agree with you.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 4:23PM]

So the Samsung Omnia is getting a resolution that doesn't suck. Sweet.

[electron Posted Feb 14th 2009 4:36PM]

that ultra touch seems like a pretty nice phone... take a P3 and give in a phone and keypad=nice :)

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 8:57PM]

what's a P3?

[electron Posted Feb 14th 2009 10:20PM]

P3 is short for samsung's YP-P3 PMP.. its the update to my P2... it gets pretty good reviews... :D

I think I'll wait for a Sumsang version.

[CheesusCrust Posted Feb 14th 2009 4:49PM]

HD FTW!

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 5:01PM]

BeatDJ? Has that actually got any DJing interfaces or is it just a name to make it sound musical and cool?

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 6:05PM]

From what i have heard it has a DJ application involving the touchscreen, but i wouldn't say it's good enough for real DJs :P

[Android Overlord Posted Feb 14th 2009 5:14PM]

So the acme was actually the new omnia.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 5:35PM]

If Verizon somehow got this Omnia HD and didn't screw up the software, I would probably weep with joy.

[oldmanhorton Posted Feb 14th 2009 6:32PM]

and thats coming from "iLoveApple"
you must go wild when you hear rumors of an HD iPhone

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 7:22PM]

AT&T also false advertises their "fewest dropped calls". Please. GSM sucks. CDMA FTW.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 8:32PM]

It could just be a sticker of a car pasted on it.

That's What He Said!

You two have such cool usernames. :)

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 8:48PM]

Triple fail? The Omnia just got better, there's an even better phone [Samsung Ultra TOUCH S8300] and some Beat DJ thingamabob.
How can THAT be a triple fail?
And you'll never know if it's really false advertising. Nowadays, they use 3D effects to show that it is HD.

[PhoenixFox Posted Feb 14th 2009 8:54PM]

With all the web pages loaded from cache? And paid for third party apps shown as if they were standard?

Oh yeah, completely transparent advertising right there!

[PhoenixFox Posted Feb 14th 2009 8:55PM]

Fucking comment system...

[CJ Posted Feb 14th 2009 10:43PM]

it's not the comment system.

iEye has taken a play from Clak's book, and put apostrophies in his username. Kills the reply code for some reason.

Engadget, Ban this fuck's IP.

[iDavey Posted Feb 14th 2009 9:57PM]

If that Ultra Touch had a full QWERTY and some smartphone OS I'd be even happier

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 14th 2009 10:24PM]

So bad if the new Omnia HD uses Symbian.

[Valicore Posted Feb 14th 2009 11:11PM]

I don't think the handsets look so special, but I like the Catalan advertising!

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 15th 2009 12:44AM]

You mean the car doesn't actually jump out of the screen at you? I thought they were touting some new 3D screen technology.

That Beat is kind of strange-looking. It sort of looks like, well, nothing I've seen or ever wanted to see.

Having been with SE for a few years this was my first Samsung/Touchscreen/WM phone. Luckily, I like researching before I buy and it was a Touch Diamond or Omnia. No regrets on getting the Omnia as there is so much you can do with it. I don't like the Samsung Keyboard but I've got the SPB keyboard and SPB MS now. Much easier and I don't need to use the stylus anymore! Smiley Smiley Smiley
