It seems we have some fresh news on the successor of the popular Samsung Omnia smartphone. From what we’re hearing the upcoming device will be known both as the Omnia2 and i8000. Specs wise, two very important improvements are mentioned:
- 8.1 megapixel camera with dual-flash LED and ability to record video in VGA resolution at 30 fps
- 3.7-inch AMOLED WVGA (480×800 pixels) touchscreen with 16 million colors
Moreover, the TouchWiz UI will keep running the show on top of Windows Mobile, but will get a refresh.
As for the announcement date, Samsung will have a press event is on June 15th and maybe we hear something on Omnia2 then. This is not to say we have any inside info, quite the contrary, it’s just that the original Omnia is on the market for quite some time and deserves to get a “second chance.”

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
