Samsung can’t seem to wait to unleash their Samsung Omnia II on the masses, having the handset pop up on their site. When available, the Samsung Omnia II will be under the Verizon Wireless stable, and we do know that the Samsung Omnia II will come with a rather hefty 1,500mAh battery – hopefully to power a ton of apps and features within. Other included items comprise of a stylus, a kind of microphone adapter and a rather strange D-pad which looks like a warped smile. Anyone waiting eagerly for this? Samsung Cell Phone news

You may remember the i8000 being one of the handsets announced at the global Samsung Unpacked event back in June, where it was definately the star of the show.  Now, along with several HTCs, the Windows Mobile 6.1 based Samsung Omnia II i8000 is about to get a boost from the introduction of Windows Mobile 6.5 in early October, so it’s worth us revisiting this already great mobile phone to see just how much of a benefit this will be.

First of all, here’s a reminder of the exciting Samsung Omnia II i8000’s features:

• A 3.7″ AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 480×800.
• A 5 megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash, autofocus and the ability to shoot video at 30fps at a resolution of 720×480.
• Assisted GPS with geo-tagging.
• It’s a 3G phone with HSDPA, HSUPA and Wi-Fi.
• A 3.5mm socket compliments the music player and the video player supports DivX and XviD formats, making it a great multimedia mobile.

This next statement may come as a surprise – it doesn’t matter that the Omnia II runs 6.5, as Samsung have done such an astonishing job with TouchWiz 2 that unless you’re digging very deep into the settings, Windows Mobile is totally obscured!  Forget early versions of HTC’s TouchFLO or Sony Ericsson’s Panels interface, TouchWiz 2 has three widget-enabled Today screens, its own menu grid and even converts options such as changing the volume into easy text and graphical buttons!
