“When BGR and others were reporting about how Apple sold through all of their pre-orders, I dont remember some outcry about how those were all going to fake people.”

Because, I don’t know, maybe they were going to wind up in the hands of real people?

Plus, Apple’s rollout equals 125,000 orders per country. Samsung’s is 40,000 orders per country.

Step away from the I-Hate-Apple Kool-Aid, people.

I think there are going to be 2 million disappointed people, when they finally realize they don’t have an app store (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Symbian, WebOS, WinMo, etc.), to enhance the functionality of their device.

Hopefully, the days of proprietary OSes will soon come to an end.

So um…specs sound awesome but what’s with the tiny ass 3.1″ screen? What a waste of bezel…

I hate apple fan boys…anyways I wonder how well the omnia II will do. They both are great phones but I want a omnia II so bad!!!!

Terry is tied with Keith for most-unattractive names… evvvvvvvvva!

Also (and this should concern fanbois), anyone notice the number of truly ugly people with iPhones? Every ugly person I see has one. For some reason, attractive people all have Curves and Bolds…..

If this comes to VZW, I will pause an extra few moments before I buy my pre.

Oh My God, You guys fight over the smallest things, The Jet is NOT Windows Mobile, BUT the Omnia II is!

By: Jeremiah

IT IS NOT WINDOWS MOBILE. That’s reserved for the Omnia family. It is simply TouchWiz, like the Behold, Eternity, Memoir, etc., except with the newer 2.0 version.

It’s big feature is having smartphone features like multi-tasking and Exchange support–without actually having a smartphone OS.

Gosh darn it. I foroget Boy Genius runs retarded comments where ‘Reply’ doesn’t actually reply to the comment you’re trying to reply to.

Samsung touchwiz is actually rather nice if you don’t do the smartphone thing.

No comment on WinMo Vs Not WinMo. Someone google that crap already.

If you read the spec its clearly NOT a win device

Nice phone and Nice specs but too bad the software sucks.

By: ANM

ANM — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:49:18 +0000

As far as I can tell from that website, they are trying to obfuscate the fact that it is WinMo. Everything in the specs point to A Touchwiz skin over Windows Mobile. How did you determine definitely from that site that it was absolutely not Min Mo?

The iPhone is only successful because the gangsters at ATT are blocking all other devices that are any better but where they don’t make so much money.

Please, let’s do someclass action lawsuit!

How’s VZW getting the phone when it’s GSM? Duh!

By: Chuong

Chuong — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:16:52 +0000

This is not a WM phone. It’s a feature phone with Samsung proprietary OS + TouchWiz 2.0 UI on top. It’s similar to the T-Mobile US branded Samsung Behold (T919) and Memoir (T929) except these two have TouchWiz 1.0 UI.

The Omnia II isn’t WinMo…it’s going to run Symbian

It’s also, apparently, not a platform but “smarter than smartphone”. In other words, there isn’t an app for that.

@Chris,

No, it is NOT WinMo. Not even close. Go to jet.samsungmobile.com

It is NOT WinMo.

WinMo…No WinMo..WinMo..No WinMo… Is it or isnt it??? If its just TouchWiz 2.0, Sammy would have ZERO reason to slap a resistive touchscreen on that beautiful AMOLED.

Sure, Terry, those sales will be to Martians not ‘real people’.

“The painfully obvious point about pre-orders that Boy Genius somehow forget to mention…1 million iPhones were sold this weekend to actual people. The supposed 2 million pre-orders is to phone companies globally not to individual users.”

When BGR and others were reporting about how Apple sold through all of their pre-orders, I dont remember some outcry about how those were all going to fake people.

And #2 how do you know who the pre-order are going to anyway?

“When this sells 1 million in one weekend to individuals then I’ll be impressed but we all know that ain’t happening.”

So in other words you’re so pissed off at some company other than Apple, having a lot of interest in there device, you got to try to move the measuring stick so that you can try to make Apple look good.

“As a dumbphone this isn’t bad at all but it’s a pale shadow compared to the iPhone 3 GS and its capabilities + application library.”

Translation: I’m just a mindless Apple drone. Dont think different from me!

Keyword: skin. This is WINMO. Its just skinned, just like HTC does with its interface. I’m guessing they improved on alot of things with the interface.

Its still has WINMO. Period.
