Samsung Omnia II now available from Big Red
It took an awfully long time for it to come to market, but today Verizon Wireless has begun selling the Samsung Omnia II in time for the busy Christmas shopping season. Verizon’s second Windows Mobile 6.5 device after the HTC Imagio, the Omnia II sports a 5 megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory expandable via microSD plus standard smartphone features like Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth and EV-DO Rev. A. connectivity. Of course the Omnia II lacks the Imagio’s global roaming functionality, but honestly, after taking a look at that 3.7″ WVGA AMOLED display, it’s pretty hard to think about anything else. That is unless you can’t afford the $199.99 2-year contract price.
looks like the mighty GIZ says its a fail….again
I checked it out in person to see for myself. The screen is one of the nicest out there, but the dressed up WinMo still didn’t do it for me. I still hoping for the Passion/Dragon soon.
The Swype thing would take some getting use to. You never lift finger per word. Its suppose to make text input on a touchscreen better/faster than hard keys. That remains to be seen. I wasn’t that quick with it trying it cold with any instruction or tips.
