The Samsung Omnia II (i8000) is now available at Verizon in the United States and it’s a beauty. Major features that I like are its 3.7″ AMOLED screen, 5 Megapixel digital camera with editing capabilities on board and the snappy Opera 9.5 internet browser. Samsung were on a winning formula with the first Omnia, so with these enhancements and more, I’m anticipating that it will remain being one of Samsung’s mobile flagships.
Features of Samsung Omnia II (i8000):
- 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED display
- Swype technology
- Samsung TouchQiz 2.0 interface
- Windows Mobile 6.5
- 5 MegaPixel digital camera with flash, autofocus
- Video recording and editing capabilities
- Opera 9.5 enhanced browser
- MicroSD card (expandable to 16GB)
- 8GB of built-in internal memory
- 3G Network compatible (Verizon)
Besides HTC, I believe that Samsung is the other major player who is helping keep Windows Mobile alive in the wake of the iPhone. Microsoft needs to be sending some generous gifts to these two for Christmas!
