Samsung Omnia 2

Samsung is gearing toward launching its flagship Windows phone, Omnia 2, to more markets. After making it available in countries like Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam (in July), the all-touchscreen phone is heading to 20 more countries — including Australia, China, the UAE, Netherlands and Turkey.

Those not familiar should know the Omnia 2 comes with a huge 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, tri-band HSPA (900/1900/2100 MHz), WiFi, GPS, 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, and 800 MHz ARM processor. Samsung’s TouchWIZ UI is running the show on top of Windows Mobile 6.1, and will be upgradable to 6.5, once it’s released…

    I just had an online chat with a rep from Verizon (forgot to copy the text) Sad

    I simply asked when she thought the Omnia II was going to be released. She looked into it and just said “soon”. We talked a little more and I found that she herself was looking forward to the release of the Omnia II. After a little flattering Wink, she told me to hold on while she checked with someone at a “higher level”. When she came back she said that I should definitely check back on Friday.

    So, I’m thinking that at the very least(hopefully) on Friday we should have a date for the Verizon release. wait for updates at http://www.samsung-omnia.org
