Description

Samsung Omnia II I8000 runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and sports a very large, 3.7-inch AMOLED WVGA resolution touchscreen. The TouchWiz 2.0 interface is again on board in order to disguise the OS and what’s cooler, users will be able to enjoy Samsung’s vision of a 3D cube interface, as with the Samsung Jet. The Omnia II offers video recording in DVD quality, as well as HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity.

This device is also known as Samsung GT-I8000

Cons

  • The touchscreen uses resistive technology, which is not responsive
  • Thick body (0.47 inches)

Samsung Omnia 2
Phone owned for

The physical design of the phone is all anybody needs.You have access to all of the main functions of the phone from the main screen. You have 3 screens which you can swipe through and customisable with wigits. The Samsung software tends to be slow and clunky but luckily you can switch this off and opt to the "Windows Default" mode which has a cleaner look, is faster and easier to use than any parts of the Samsung software.Working in the Mobile Phone industry I can easily say that the camera quality is excellent and the AmoLED display is amazing. In my opinion, no other phone on the market compares to this.The application store and Windows Market place is really quite limited in terms of Apps which is a disappointment in comparison to Apple and Andriod but if you aren't strung by a desperate need for Apps and want a solid all-rounder this is the phone to buy. On specifications it is higher than the HTC Desire.

ugly phone
Phone owned for

just a copycat i think, samsung jet is better and you will just burn your money here. design is copied. even if it has larger screen, the samsung jet is i think still better. just look at the editors rating too, it says that jet is better. so don't waste money for this phone, just get the samsung jet, it is rated 9 out of 10.

Pretty good functions but the design
Phone owned for

Omnia is talked by many people in Korea by name "Jeon-Ji-Jeon-Neung".
Because it has many functions and it is one of the first Phone that has GPS and touch screen.
I like SAMSUNG and Omnia
but I hope samsung to spend more money on design like apple and LG.
Down below the "Call" and "Exit / Off" button which I don't like.
Sorry for my terrible English . I'm from Korean.
