Users who choose a regional carrier as their wireless service provider many a times find that they do not have a wide variety of cell phones on offer. This is because big cell phone manufacturers like Research in Motion, Nokia, LG, etc. prefer to sign agreements with larger carriers. Now those who wish to buy the Samsung Omnia i910 can head over to the SaskTel store as this cell phone has signed an agreement with the local carrier.
A regional carrier in Canada, Sasktel works in the province of Saskatchewan. Sasktel offers Samsung Omnia, a touchscreen smartphone which runs on Windows Mobile.
SaskTel’s offer for the Samsung Omnia is similar to what Canada’s two national CDMA providers – Telus and Bell’s versions offer. The phone weighs around 125 grams and has dimensions of 112 x 56.9 x 12.5mm. It also possesses a 3.2 inch touchscreen, an accelerometer, Samsung Sharepix, a widgetized homepage, 8GB internal memory, and a memory expansion slot. It includes a 5-megapixel autofocus camera to capture clear-cut images. Windows Mobile 6.1 is loaded into the phone and serves users’ business needs with features like e-mails, contacts, Microsoft Word Power Point and Excel.
The Samsung Omnia via SaskTel is available for a three-year contract for $149.00, a two-year contract costs $357.00 and the price of a one-year contract is $457.00. The phone costs $607 without a contract and a $25.00 one-time activation fee has to be paid by all new customers. Current customers who upgrade their service will have to pay a “service fee.”
