Video: Bell Samsung Omnia II Unboxed
We first heard about the Omnia II at the Samsung Reclaim launch and we have finally got our hands on the recently released Bell Samsung Omnia II (this is also the device that’s been hailed as the “Official Mobile Device of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games”).
We’ve done a quick unboxing and am impressed so far, especially as this is the first device in Canada to run Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. The Omnia II uses Samsung’s customizable TouchWiz UI and at first glance this looks to be an incredible piece of technology. The of specs and features are longer than a kid’s Christmas list. You’ll see the Omnia II has a 800Mhz processor, has internal memory of 16 GB and can hold up to 32 GB with a microSDHC card. The 3.7-inch AMOLED display is massive and has a resolution is 480×800. Overall dimensions are 118 x 59.6 x 12.3mm and if that’s not good enough the device only weighs in at 123 grams. The battery life will probably last about 10 hours as it comes with a 1500 mAh battery.
Other features are the 5 megapixel camera with dual flash that also the capability of taking DVD quality videos, plus it has a front-facing camera for video calling, WiFi, Opera Mobile 9.5 Browser, GPS, Email, Text, picture, and video messaging, MP3 player, 3.5mm headset jack, Microsoft Office Mobile, QWERTY keyboard option, Bluetooth 2.0.
Check out the unboxing here and we’ll have a review up shortly:
This is available at Bell on the following price plans:
3-year contract: $199.95
2-year contract: $399.95
1-year contract: $499.95
No contract: $549.95

All this cutting edge technology seems lost in translation Mobile Syrup. With all due respect I think you need a proof reader the grammar in this article is very confusing.
Fascinating phone nonetheless mmm Amoled and 800MHZ processor? That’s faster than my desktop maybe time to buy me an xmas pressie LOL!
So many advances forward videophone huge screen did I say in Amoled? It’s a wonder everyone isn’t climbing over each other to get to the cash register with one of these puppies.

Dying for this phone to come out, now I’m dying for the review. Bell reps don’t know a lot about it, yet.
The unit I tried in the store didn’t swipe or switch portrait/landscape very fast; must be a sensitivity adjustment.
This phone was supposed to come with a maps program; looks like Bell has deleted it.
Mobile 6.5 Pro was supposed to come with Voice Command/TellMe, but it looks like Bell has deleted that, too.
I don’t know how the manufacturers can bring a “state-of-the-art” smartphone to market and not include handsfree Bluetooth voice-dialing. And, I don’t know how reviewers can review a phone and not mention this particular capability.
Looking forward to your review on the Omnia II (it has the potential to be an iphone killer, but it looks like Bell has muted its impact)
