As you all might’ve aware, this year’s Mobile World Congress have unveiled some great phones with great specs and features. Those phones are the Sony Ericsson Idou, Samsung Omnia HD, and Nokia 5630 XpressMusic.

Sony Ericsson Idou has made some noises in the Mobile World Congress with its 12.1 megapixel camera. Sony Ericsson claimed the Sony Ericsson Idou as the first ‘Entertainment Unlimited’ phone, which combine Walkman series features and Cyber-Shot series features. Meanwhile, the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD is the successor of the famous Samsung Omnia. Samsung T929 Memoir  is the long rumored 8 megapixel cameraphone from Samsung. Lastly, the Nokia 5630 XM, which is the first phone in XpressMusic series to have N-Gage gaming system.

I know, I know…All of them are so darn attractive. So which one will you choose? Is it Sony ericsson Idou or Samsung Omnia HD or Samsung Memoir or Nokia 5630 XpressMusic? The comparison is made to help you decide which phone that you want in 2009. Let’s checkout the comparison between those phones under, shall we ?

Display

In this area, the Samsung Omnia HD has the biggest screen (3.7 inches of OLED Touchscreen, 16M colors) compared to SE Idou, Samsung Memoir and Nokia 5630 XpressMusic. The second position goes to the Idou, with 3.5 inches of TFT Touchscreen, 16M colors, while the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic is the only phone in this comparison that doesn’t feature a touchscreen. Nokia 5630 XpressMusic only uses 2.2 inches TFT, 16M colors. Winner: Samsung Omnia HD

Dimensions and Weight

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic is the slimmest and lightest phones compared to Idou (111 x 54 x 15 mm (approximately); 133 g) and Omnia HD (123 x 58 x 12.9 mm; 149 g). The Nokia 5630 dimension is 112 x 46 x 12 mm and weigh at 83 g. It is clear that the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic won the aspect.

Network

Sony Ericsson Idou and Nokia 5630 XM can work for HSDPA 900/2100 (Dual Band HSDPA), and Omnia HD can work for Triple Band HSDPA (900 / 1900 / 2100). And all of those phones except Omnia HD support HSCSD. So I guess the winner for this aspect goes to the Omnia HD

3G, HSDPA and HSUPA?

Yes, Sony Ericsson Idou, Samsung Omnia HD and Nokia 5630 XpressMusic is definitely phones for web lovers. First of all, the three phones support HSUPA. All of them also support HSDPA, but in different speed. The Sony Ericsson Idou uses HSDPA 3.6 Mbps, Omnia HD uses HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, and Nokia 5630 XpressMusic uses HSDPA 10.2 Mbps. Therefore the winner goes to the Nokia 5640 XpressMusic

Camera

Yap. No question about the winner in this part. The Sony Ericsson Idou is a superstar here. It got 12.1 Megapixel camera along with some nice features such as autofocus, xenon flash, face and smile detection, geo-tagging etc. But let’s check what the other competitor have… The Samsung Omnia HD features 8 megapixel camera along with more or less the same features with the Idou, and Nokia 5630 XpressMusic is left behind with a 3.15 megapixel camera.

Wi-Fi and Music

All of them has Wi-Fi… But what about the music part? can the XpressMusic fight with unlimited entertainment? Let’s check it out! Both Omnia HD and Nokia 5630 XM have a standard audio jack and stereo speakers and unfortunately Sony Ericsson Idou doesn’t. Surprisingly, Omnia HD have tied with the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic. Of course, it’s a personal opinion

Storage

There’s not much information about Sony Ericsson Idou’s storage till now (dont worry, I’ll update it), all I know is that Idou will have a MicroSD (TransFlash) card slot. Meanwhile, Samsung Omnia HD comes with 8/16 GB of internal memory and MicroSD (TransFlash) card slot that support up to 16 GB. Lastly the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic have 150 MB of internal memory and MicroSD (TransFlash) card slot that support up to 16 GB. Ok, so the winner goes to the Samsung Omnia HD…

Battery

Just like the storage information, the battery information of the Sony Ericsson Idou has not come to surface as well. Omnia HD’s battery information is also still blurred. All I can tell your right now is the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic battery that has Up to 400 h of standby time and up to 7 h of talktime. No winner for the moment.

Price

Well, for many people (including me), one of the most important aspect of a cell phone is its price .  But unfortunately, we still searching for the info. Please be patient and as soon as the information is available, you’ll see it here . But my prediction is (from cheap to expensive): Nokia 5630 XM, Samsung Omnia HD, Sony Ericsson Idou.

Design, Features, Performance

Well, everyone has their own taste, I know. And therefore I’m gonna use the voting result from our folks at GSMarena to capture people’s first impression about these phones.

Sony Ericsson Idou

• Design: 8.5
• Features: 8.5
• Performance: 8.5

Samsung Omnia HD

• Design: 8.5
• Features: 8.6
• Performance: 8.6

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic

• Design: 7.5
• Features: 7.9
• Performance: 7.9

So there it is, the comparison between Sony Ericsson Idou vs Samsung Omnia HD vs Nokia 5630 XpressMusic. Which one is your fave? If you ask me, I would say that I will go for Omnia HD. Lots of features, nice (even though not best) camera, and nice music features. Internet connectivity is decent enough too…

The new variant of XpressMusic has arrived. The Nokia 5630 XM is more than just a music phone. With the same vein as the 5800 XM, the Nokia 5630XM features will shock you. Keep on reading guys I will unveil some Nokia 5630XM interesting features… Prepare your seat, since the features you’ll see is almost too good to be true

You can store up to 3000 songs and music to it’s 4GB microSD MC (the Nokia 5630XM supports up to 16GB), and also can enjoy Comes with Music services and features in available countries. What’s interesting is the ’say and play’ feature (first debuted on the 5320 XpressMusic last year), letting you speak the name of an artist of track to automatically play it. Plus, the Nokia 5630 comes loaded with a 3.5mm headphone connector, stereo Bluetooth, FM stereo and Internet radio to wrap up its music credentials.

And here’s where the story becomes interesting… The Nokia 5630 XpressMusic will pack Symbian S60 OS and also HSDPA connectivity features, which will give tou the best internet experience (for example, widgets, Ovi share and Nokia Messaging) .

And if that’s not enough, Nokia also put N-Gage gaming system on the Nokia 5630XM (Note that its the 2nd device outside N-series who get the system, the first one is Nokia 6210). The Nokia 5630XM is the slimmest and lightest N-gage device available to date. It’s only 12mm thin and 83gr weight, wow.

Another smart addition to the features is the home screen, which features a new Contacts Bar that has a definite widget feel to it – smartly animated, you can scroll through icons for up to 20 contacts and interact with them directly from the home screen.

It doesn’t shirk its responsibilities imaging wise, delivering digital shots via a 3.2 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and 4x zoom, and recording video, both of which can be uploaded and shared online via Flickr and Share on Ovi. And this is where another of the 5630’s more subtle skills steps into the limelight – as well as being HSDPA enabled, it’s also HSUPA enabled, meaning it can upload data over your network at speeds of up to 2mbps (following in the footsteps of the 6260 slide, Nokia’s first HSUPA phone last November) and making video and photo sharing on the move a significantly faster and more engaging option.

It will go on sale in selected countries in the second quarter of 2009 for around 199 Euros (before the usual taxes and subsidies).

So basically, it’s a music phone featuring gaming phone with a touch of smartphone. Wow. A dream phone for me
