OMNIA 2

[Guest Masta92]

Verizon may not have the iPhone 3G S, but the sequel to Samsung's popular iPhone pretender, the Omnia, will be coming to Verizon later this year, Samsung announced at an event on Monday in Manhattan. As for the exact timing of the Omnia 2's launch, that's still up in the air, as Samsung reps said that Verizon had a tight leash on what info could--and couldn't--release at this time.

But here's what we know, and it looks pretty good:

• Network: HSDPA 7.2 Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps; EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz; UMTS 900/1900/2100MHz

• Audio supported: MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, WMDRM, OMA DRM 2.1, plus FM radio
  
• Video supported: DivX, XviD, H.263, H.264, WMV9, MPEG4
  
• A-GPS with Navigation (3D Map)/LBS

Previews of Omnia II from GSMArena

The only thing I like about it is the display. I dont think I'll be getting it though, unless the cookers are going to abandon Omnia and move to Omnia II. Hopefully we'll be able to port the new apps over to Omnia too. Maybe if the WiFi is stable then I might get it, but I already bought two Omnias this year =s.

I like to look of the Omnia Pro (my last phone was the HTC Universal and I do find that I miss my keyboard!) might keep me out of the HTC camp for a while longer.

The only thing I like about it is the display.

You don't like 2 and a half weeks of standby time?

"Up to 430 hours (3G) standby time"

You don't like high quality video recording?

Video recording at 30fps@720x480

Seems like it would have to have a significantly strong processor to be able to do that so hopefully means it should fly through windows (which is a bit clunky currnetly).

I would like to know why they are releasing a 2gb version.. seems silly to go backwards especially in what is essentially a "prestige" pda. Its like offering a ferrari with a 4cyl engine for the posers.

edit: Duh

CPU 800 MHZ

Slightly larger all around. Bit over a centimeter longer and a half centimeter wider.

How about the display in the sunlight? Does it show better than our Omnia? Since I drive a convertible, I cannot see the display of the Omnia and this is the only reason why I would want to move to the iPhone, whose screen is a little better in the sunlight.

[Guest FerdiBorbon]

Above..AMOLED Baby...fix the sunlight problem :D

[Guest forelli]

I will definitely get one, the Omnia II rocks, and please, Omnia freaks, stop comparing phones you can't compare, like Omnia (winmo smartphone) and iPhone (apple gadget). Compare it to the HTC family, it will make more sense! :D

yeah.....:D

u cant compare an Omnia to an iPhone...

Ones good and full of useful features that can be accessed and used daily. The other is an iPhone. ;)

Compare Omnia to other WinMo's at least.

The only thing i liek about the iPhone is its styling and quality of build (oh and the capacitive screen :D)

Laters.

Omnia II rocks!!!!!

[Guest FerdiBorbon]

forgot to say that they have better fixed that annoying 3 second delay ringtone on these new omnias!

[Guest Lord-Y]

It looks like the second version will be just AWESOME ;) So when can we buy it?August? :D

[Guest Slappa]

Y'know what? I honestly like the look of the Omnia I900 to the new one...being purely shallow and all, it just looks cooler :D

(that and the fact that I've got it hacked out to do exactly what I want ;))

[Guest FerdiBorbon]

Slappa i know what you mean ive finally got the custom rom i always wanted and all apps working sweet on my Omnia...but it doesnt mean there is no hope for the Omnia II, i know chefs here will try and tackle it.. and as soon as its out it be awsome for basic use calls txt music vids...thats all i need until the fun fully begins when it gets to the point as our Omnias are at at :D

[Guest Perfectionist]

Bit of a dissapointment after seeing the Omnia HD !! Guess I'm gonna have to wait for the Omnia 3 with WinMo 7 !! :D

[Guest Lord-Y]
