Samsung Omnia 2 This Weekend, Omnia HD August 1st!
| by Rob on July 15th, 2009 |
We thought the Samsung Omnia 2 was going to come in October – and maybe that is true for most of the world – but Singapore is lucky enough to have the launch take place this weekend! To be a month or two ahead of schedule would be a treat so that makes this a doozy!
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!

So what would you get? This one or the HD? I guess this one does not film in HD but if I get a 5mpx camera and Winmo along with AMOLED should be enough!
