omnia2 vs htc hd mini

---

hi guys,
need your input here pls.
i am trying to decide whether to exchange my omnia2 for a hd mini.
is it worth it?

Hi,
I do not know thw ominia2 but HD mini is a very nice phone.
++
- It works well and is very stable. No need to restart every day such other.
- Very responsive in regards to Diamond and Diamond2
- The size is perfect. Diamond had a too small screen, HD2 do not fit in the pocket. The HD mini fit just well in the front pocets of the gean's.
- Most of legacy such (tom tom Collins dic) run fine
- Most of new apps such (need for speed) run fine
- Screen is scrach resistant

--
- Some new apps not, such SlideIT, I hope the next version.... because of special HVGA screen resolution
- It does not have front camera. (I never used it but...)
- Screen is scrach resistant but the front glas is not unbreackable. If the phone fall on concrete or ceramic.... shbriiik the glas explode. (i tested for you)
- No electronic compas like HD2, shame, it would be usefull

I do not see other defaults, I like it realy very much.

Hope it helps

thanks. that was helpful.
anybody who has used omnia2 also? opinions welcome.

IMho : Samsung Omnia II i 8000 its far better then HTC HD Mini, because My friend at My office used Samsung Omnia II i 8000, and the Metatrader 4 Platform is running Well, the resolution is very bright (used AMOLED) and the screens is 3,7' more wide then HTC HD Mini (only 3.2')

The Product quality is more better rather then HTC.

The main advantage of HD mini over Omnia 2 is touch screen response. Omnia's response is very sluggish and fairly inaccurate. Even when compared to an average resistive screen. So the difference in experience is rather far apart. Needless to say, this makes touch typing a real pain.
Another minus point for Omnia is the UI. Not quite intuitive. To the point of being a bit confusing, if you're a first timer on this phone.
Omnia has got a faster processor. But because of its beautifully high resolution big screen, and lower RAM, it makes the phone seem slow.
Overall, the under-powered HD mini feels quicker and more responsive.

I had the same doubt and went for the Mini. The Omnia has a huge AMOLED screen, which is nice to look at, but makes the phone too big for me. And that's where the advantages end. Faster processor? Maybe, but so the HD2 does and the Mini feels smoother because of the software optimization. Then battery life is low, interface just sucks, it lags like hell... To be honest the only reason someone should go for the Omnia 2 instead of for the Mini is because for some reason he/she needs the bigger screen, otherwise I don't see the point

Another reason would be the price. The whole line of Omnia series has been falling. It gets price cuts after price cuts. Making these top brass Omnia's much cheaper than HD mini. If you compare the specs of Omnia 2 and Omnia Pro B7610 on paper, to HD mini, and then take a look at their prices, it's really lop-sided.
