Verizon Samsung Omnia II slated for December 2

Verizon will be launching the Samsung Omnia II on December 2nd. The Samsung Omnia has been very successful worldwide due to great specifications it had. With a large on-board memory,5 megapixel camera and the almost finger friendly UI the Samsung Omnia was a leader in the Windows Phone line up at that time.

Since then Microsoft has come out with Windows Mobile 6.5 which allows the operating system to be more finger friendly compared to the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system. This now allows the standard Windows Phone applications and menu structure to be used in a finger friendly operation besides just the manufactures User Interfaces.

The Samsung Omnia II will be $199.99 on contract after a $100.00 rebate.  The Omnia II will have a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED screen, 8GB of internal memory (some previous omnia ‘s even had 16 GB), 5 mega pixel camera and of course it will be running the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. Samsung will have his own widget gallery available to have easy access on the Widget Tool Bar to your favorite social media places and other favorite places. Samsung will also have a 3D cube UI which we haven’t seen much about yet.

This is a Windows Phone we really want to get our hands on. As I hear many people say now,the Motorola Droid or the Samsung Omnia II ??
