The Samsung Omnia is the first Windows Mobile-based DivX Certified phone on the market and the fourth Samsung mobile to achieve DivX Certification. It features 8GB/16GB of internal memory with a micro SD slot, allowing users to keep a media library on the device, and easily enjoy their video on a large 3.2-inch touch screen. It also features a TV-Out feature to play back content from the phone directly on the television screen. This powerful experience and a portable library gives users the choice of how and where to watch their video.

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX Certified devices and the visual quality users expect from DivX.

    DivX is an old and dying codec. It’s always great when phones offer more codec support, so this is good news. I would be excited if they offered H.264 support. If a portable player like the Zune can support H.264, then phones should be able to do it also.

    then have a look at the sony xperia x1 and you may be happier.
    supports vga@30fps in 2 codecs, one being h.264

    divx is better than 99% of the video recording abilities of phones out there now. so if they could all have divx support that would be a HUGE difference. h.264 is quite processor intensive and is a bit of a stretch for most CPU’s in devices.

    only the latest phones can hope to do H.264, so Divx is a welcome upgrade from crapp qvga@15fps.
