Samsung Omnia II Pro Reviews

reghardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Omnia II is a jump ahead of its predecessor and very definitely in the Premier League of Windows Mobile devices. Although the Connected Home option needs work, the media playing facilities are all very good with browsing and camera also scoring well. Messaging and social networking are OK, but perhaps not in the very first rank, and if only that gorgeous OLED screen was just a tad more sensitive, we might have been able to love this phone. As it is, we just like it an awful lot.

An overburdened processor and some seriously strange UI choices have taken a device that should be just the thing for taking calls, listening to tunes, and taking the occasional picture or ten and made it a jittery, laggy, $200-on-contract whale. Of course, it's your call, but we think you deserve better than this.

The Samsung Omnia II is an excellent upgrade from the original Omnia and definitely one of the best Windows Mobile phones available. The crash we experienced was disturbing, however, even though it happened only once. We was also disappointed with both the phone's sluggishness and the unresponsiveness of the touchscreen - issues we had with the previous version, as well. Most Verizon customers will probably pick the Motorola Droid over the Omnia II, but Windows Mobile loyalists will find a lot to like about this multimedia powerhouse.

The Omnia is one of the best Windows Mobile phones we've seen yet. Most of the time, it's fast, responsive, and you certainly can't argue with its mile-long features list. It has all the connectivity options you could dream of, and professionals are perfectly catered for. Virtually anything you can do on your home PC can also be done on the Omnia.

Samsung's second take at the Omnia adds tons of features to this Windows Mobile and TouchWiz-based device. The Omnia II earns high marks in calling and camera performance, but comes up short in a few other areas.

Overall, the Omnia II impresses with its neat design, bright screen, good multimedia features and well rounded connectivity options. However, its sluggish processor lets the side down and with more and more speedy Snapdragon based phones appearing on the market, that’s quite a major issue in our book.

The new Samsung SCH-i920 Omnia II for Verizon is a Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone that looks for all the world like one of Samsung's TouchWiz feature phones. It sports a fantastic 5mp camera, and has a nice design, too.

HTC set a standard for Windows Mobile customization with TouchFLO, and last year Samsung made their entry into the market with the TouchWiz UI touting Omnia. The Omnia II I8000 is now here, and a 2 has been added to the end of TouchWiz as well. This new Omnia is bigger and badder, with just about everything getting a refresh...

Announced in June, the Samsung Omnia II is now available from Verizon Wireless for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. The successor to the Samsung Omnia has been hotly anticipated for months, but in that time several excellent touch-screen smartphones have come to Verizon, such as the Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris, making us wonder if Samsung waited too long to release the device...

Samsung's top tier of Omnia devices is populated by some seriously heavy-hitters - first the 720p video recording Omnia HD and now the Omnia II - with its best-in-the-business display, WM 6.5, zippy processor and preloaded software galore, it will certainly win the hearts and minds of Windows Mobile fans...

On the surface, the Samsung Omnia II ($200 with a two-year contract from Verizon; price as of 12/1/09) seems to be the Windows Mobile phone that fans have been waiting for. With its gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED touch display, attractive design, and impressive specs, this phone is a real head-turner. Unfortunately, the Omnia II's performance disappoints. The TouchWiz 2.0 user interface seems to bog down the phone's speed; in one instance, our review unit crashed and had to be restarted.

The Omnia II is frustrating from the second you pick it up to the moment you lay it back on your desk, defeated and distraught. There was so much potential here, so much obvious potential. Through a series of bizarre decisions and grating software design, Samsung has managed to squander it...
