Quietly, amidst the multiple HTC Touch Pro 2 releases, Samsung refreshed its Omnia line with a slew of new Windows Mobile devices. The Samsung Omnia II is a black-slab, touchscreen device hone that sports a 5-megapixel camera and a hefty 8 gigabytes of storage memory. Verizon picked it up late…
Samsung has announced the pricing and and hopefully the final U.S. price will be lower. Toss in potential service provider contractual discounts and the prices may fall further. Both the Omnia Pro and Omnia II will initially ship with Windows Mobile 6.1 but upgradeable to Windows Mobile…
A burning question of late has been when, oh when, will the Samsung Omnia II finally hit Verizon. We'd heard of a November launch, but Engadget Thanks, John!…
Okay folks we have some info that regarding the much anticipated Samsung Omnia II on Verizon, which has been evidently arriving for what seems like months now. We're hearing from our source: Verizon is waiting for Samsung to officially launch it first. Verizon is looking to launch…
Well, look at that. The Samsung Omnia II has been spotted going through the FCC, and it's sporting AT&T's flavor of 3G. Whether the carrier actually picks up the Omnia is a whole 'nother matter. But an unlocked Omnia II running on AT&T's network is certainly better than no Omnia II in the U…
Whoopsie. It appears Samsung just spilled a few more beans as to the existence of the Omnia II on Verizon.We'd already seen an inventory sheet from Best Buy showing the phone on the Big V. The Boy Genius Report now says the Aug. 23 date listed there is an in-stock date and not an actual laun…
The headline and picture just about say it all here. It appears the Samsung Omnia II, apparently slated for Verizon, should be at Best Buy on or about Aug. 23. No word on pricing, or when the Omnia II would be available through other outlets. We're gonna be rabble rousers here for a sec…
It's not quite the same as actually being there, but we can get a good feel from this video from hdblog of the latest from Samsung of just why we want AMOLED screens on our phones. And all we have to say is this: The Omnia Pro and Omnia II need to come to the U.S. soonest and, if properly ma…
We've taken a look at the Samsung Omnia II from Verizon and felt it was less than stellar. In the full review we only briefly touched on the 5-megapixel camera. We've had the chance to tinker with the camera, and it may very well be the Omnia II's strongest feature. Follow the break for more on…
Verizon has released a software upgrade for the Samsung Omnia II . The upgrade contains a handful of enhancements including Windows Mobile AKU Update to 5.0.93, Qualcomm updates, Widgetplus updates, and Facebook app updates. You can find the Upgrade Too here with step by step instructions.…
Who's up for some quality time with the Bell version of the Samsung Omnia II? Howard Chui , but we do like having different UIs to choose from. Peep the video after the break.…
That's right, you can look, but you still can't touch. What you see here reportedly is "a final build" of the Samsung Omnia II's software, along with its TouchWiz interface. And for the most part it looks like what Dieter got his hands on earlier this month. And still no word on when the Omnia I…
Let it never be said will be available on the Bell network for $349.95 on the standard 3-year deal or $549.95 outright. This coincides with Bell launching its HSDPA network, so you'll have fast data speeds to go along with the Omnia II's fast processor. Huzzah.…
Looking at the Samsung Omnia II, it's easy to forget that in fact it's a Windows phone But the folks at Engadget Spain can do more than just imagine how great it is, having gotten a hands-on with the phone.Siga leyendo para más!…
Yeahhhhhh. So that Samsung Omnia II we saw make its way through the FCC probably isn't destined for AT&T after all. See, while the one tested by the feds indeed has AT&T's flavor of GSM, the general consensus now is that it's headed to Latin America. Perhaps the I8000L model number and, well…
The upcoming Samsung Omnia II is tossing another nugget onto the Windows Mobile 6.5 rumor pile. Microsoft Austria makes it known that the Omnia II will be available on the Austrian A1 carrier at the end of September.So does that mean Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released globally at the end…
Well, it's not a mighty re-flash of the whole ROM, nor does it bring any new features to the table and in fact, it actually looks kind of dangerous to apply .Yeah, not exactly thrilling, though we suppose if you have been experiencing poor call performance, you may want to look into this lil'…
Ever care to see how an expensive smartphone is made less valuable? Well, look no further as this video from TechBlog shows how it's done on the popular and feature-packed Samsung Omnia II. To what end? We're not sure, but dang, them there phone guts are sure getting teeny, aren't they? Oh…
The Samsung Omnia II is a more-than solid piece of hardware. It's the UI that drives us batty. But that's no matter to the folks at MoDaCo, who are hard at work loading HTC's Sense UI onto that gorgeous AMOLED screen. It's still a work in progress, but work that we're glad is being done.…
A reminder, folks, that as of today the Samsung Omnia II is available online and stores. Plunking down $199.99 and another two years of your wireless life get you that 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen , a 5MP camera, a zippy 800MHz processor, and Sammy's custom TouchWiz interface.…
Well, look at that. You're going to have to wait a few more hours before you can pick up the Samsung Omnia II on Verizon, but one has made its way to the front of a Verizon store and into the hands of YouTuber bcwatson57. The video's a little blurry, so we can't get a great feel for the AMOLED s…
Now that the cat's out of the bag, Verizon Wireless has officially announced that the Samsung Omnia II , will be available Dec. 2 for $199.99 after rebate and contract. But you already knew that. And in case you forgot, that $200 gets you a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, an 800MHz processor,…
Been wondering what the Verizon Samsung Omnia II would look like in your hand? We can't quite make that happen yet, but we can do the next best thing: Show it to you in someone else's. And, so, here are 3.7 inches of AMOLED goodness, teasing you until launch on Dec. 2.…
Yeah, you read that right. Not the iPhone. Not the Pre. Not a BlackBerry. Not that newfangled Droid. A Windows Mobile phone is the official phone of the 2010 Winter Olympics. And not just any phone, the Samsung Omnia II with its AMOLED screen and 800MHz processor, Windows Mobile 6.5 and all…
Here's a rumor that comes from a Phone Area tipster who has a reliable source, so, um, that makes it, like, fourth-hand twice removed or something. Anyway, the reported rumor is that the Samsung Omnia II will be released on Verizon on Nov. 1.Will that be the case? Will the mid-October launch…
Turns out the Verizon version of the much anticipated Omnia II was also at CTIA recently and users will be able to easily grab these through Samsung's own distribution system.Now can they just release it already? Seems done to us.More pics after the jump from LisaG in the MobileTechReview…
How badly do you want an unlocked, GSM Samsung Omnia II? Enough to drop $1,000 on it on Amazon? Granted, this is right up there with the tip-top of Windows Mobile hardware, but dayum.Thanks, again, Jeremy!…
Here's a YouTube video of the Samsung Omnia II being put through its paces, nearly Charlie Chaplin-style. Our 30-second impression: Despite the overkill on pastels and the insipid sounds that come with every tap on the screen — and we're sure those are two things you can change — the UI loo…
You've seen the specs of the recently announced Samsung Omnia II, now watch the phone in action, courtesy of MobileBurn.Even if you're not a fan of the TouchWiz interface, you've gotta appreciate just how smooth it is on that phone. And we're willing to bet that's not even a production ROM yet.…
Not that we really need another reason to believe the HTC Touch Pro 2 are coming to Verizon, but here you go. Both phones have appeared in Verizon's inventory system. That's all we get, however. No word on actual availability or pricing.Via Phone Arena…
Swung by the Samsung booth at CES . Once you're able to navigate the dizzying maze of television screens -- and we're talking hundreds here -- you can finally find some Windows phones. Tucked in the back and a little to the left. And it was there that we found the European version of the O…
One of the things missing from the announcement of Samsung's new Omnia line was actual specs. So, we're taking care of that after the break.Samsung UK Omnia II EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900; UMTS 900/1900/2100HSDPA 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA 5.76Mbps3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen at 480x800Windows…
After reading a lot of reviews and watching a bunch of videos I narrowed my choices two just two phones. The Omnia II and the HTC HD2 But I can't just decide. So similar but so different. I guess this thread is biased towards the Omnia II but I want to listen to both sides. ,HTC HD2 may not…
For texting that is...Franklin Page, a 24 year old Seattle, Wa. resident recently set the Guinness World Record for the fastest text message on touch screen. Page did so with the help of Swype running on a Samsung Omnia II.It took Page 35.54 seconds to text the phrase, "The razor-toothed pi…

Oh, hello Samsung Omnia 2, how are you? We're really digging the AMOLED screen , which is plenty responsive. The 800x480 is quite nice too, but the rich and deep colors are the real show here. You can take a look at Sammy's cube interface in the quick vid above, but it's more flash than subs…
Any speculation about the Omnia II being available for AT&T in the US?…
I have Samsung Omnia II from VZW and I have installed the Spb mobile shell on it. Does anyone know how to access the "Cube" without actually removing the shell out?…
Want a Samsung Omnia Pro? Sorry, you can't have one yet. Well, at least not without importing it at a pretty penny and giving up U.S. 3G in the process. For us, that's a dealbreaker. For others, a small price to pay for that 800MHz processor and 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen running Windows Mob…
Now take this with a big ol' grain of salt, but Verizon reportedly may get the latest and greatest er the second-most recently launched um the Palm Treo 800w ... wait for it ... in February 2010.That's according to a PhoneArena tipster called "SnapDude," and even PA admits that this is far…
I'd like to get the HD2. I'm just getting back to Windows Mobile after a "BlackBerry Bold absence". ;) So again, no HD2 on AT&T I keep reading everywhere. Where does one get this gorgeous device. I'm big into screen quality, and AMLOED looks like it might be an LED backlit IPS LCD. Let's do this…
Unlike LG, who seem to have hidden their Windows Phone from the world in turn for Android, Samsung did have their Omnia 7 on display. Samsung is in the same position as LG too: New high-end Android phone . Still, Samsung at least managed to get six of their Euro-Windows Phones on display…
I will admit we have gotten a little excited about the TP2 coming out I will be glad when it doesn't dominate the news any more. To say this site is bias towards HTC I don't think that is fair we discuss all devices and the Omnia 2 wont get left out in the cold. Just as soon as there is news…
You almost have to feel sorry for the companies that dare place their proprietary software onto a Windows phone these days. For if it is good software, the hounds are let loose to rip it out and .cab it for all others to use within moments. The latest victim would be Swype, the new fangled…

One of the more anticipated Windows phones of the past year has been the HTC HD2. Unlike it's predecessor, the Touch HD, which never made it to the U.S. market, the HD2 is scheduled for release on an as-yet-unannounced U.S. carrier in early 2010, and T-Mobile appears to be the leading candid…
