We thought the Samsung Omnia 2 was going to come in October - but Singapore is lucky enough to rock this 3g mobile phone this weekend! We want this cell phone now, damn you Singapore, damn you and your fancy phone.
The Omnia 2 is a Windows Mobile device that packs a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen with WVGA resolution, Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA, HSUPA and GPS, 5MP camera and advanced video and multimedia features. The recommended retail price seems to be 440 euro before all the discounts and extras so it could be quite reasonably priced for the package.
And that ain’t all… the Samsung Omnia HD will be launching on August 1st for 540 Euros, amping up all of the multimedia specs to pretty ridiculous levels. A short production run was done in May but stopped quickly to fix some minor issues… hopefully they’re all ironed out!
The only issue here in both of these cases is you have to deal with WinMo which most phone fans don’t exactly enjoy, but the Omnia series might just be good enough to roll with the punches!

still no update on the US release date?

Er, the Samsung i8910 “Omnia HD” that I have here – from the “short production run in May” – runs Symbian.
Please correct this post?
(Unless the re-release / relaunch on 1st August 2009 is suddenly running Windows Mobile!)
IMHO, Samsung could have shipped Omnia 2 as exactly the same hardware as Omnia HD but with WinMo installed… but there already too long/confusing line-up of phones would be more confusing!
