Samsung Omnia 2 interface walk through
This video is a detailed walk through of Samsung’s UI enhancements to the Samsung Omnia 2, and looks at many of the apps Samsung added to enhance the features and appearance of the device.
At first the impression of the interface is that its rather childish, lacking the cool sophistication of Touchflo3D, but after a while the real truth emergences – the interface is actually designed to be fun to use, and certainly from a media point of view it looks like a pretty desirable device.
See the video below.

There’s no doubt it makes WinMo way more usable. But i don’t get the “fun” idea. Throwing all the different colors that don’t go well together here and there doesn’t make UI “fun”. Well maybe for aesthetically immature teenager it does;) But isn’t WM professional aimed at business people? LG’s S-Class is colourful too. But they use colors in much more subtle and balanced way. Original Omnia UI’s icons were too colorful but it had way more class with general white-tan-blue scheme. Now every menu/app has different set of colors. It’s no fun for me. It’s gaudy.

Wow, that UI is really ugly! How hard is it for them to hire a graphic designer to make things look even half way decent. It’s not that hard.

Touch wiz 2.0 seems to be very good but i also would like to see SPB Mobile shell running on it, must be like hell

Have to agree with the previous comments. Hardware-wise the Omnia 2 is really great. The idea of making everything touch-friendly is nice as well … but the layout and design paradigm. On the one one hand you have the pleasantly looking widget-screen and the start-menu replacement .. and on the other hand this mass of colours on a black background. HTC´s doing much better in the design apartment and I guess TouchFlo 3D 2.5 will go as far as TouchWiz 2.0 does (except the widgets but in my opinion they will also bring something like Sense to Windows mobile). In addition TouchFlo 3D is far more intuitive and faster to use … to make a long story short: I guess I´m gonna wait for the Firestone or Whitestone but at the time the Omnia 2 comes out here I won´t be unfair and give it a try at my local electronic-dealer

Ah,another UI demonstration,I really want to see someone creating/editing word/excel doc’s on those fancy shell’s with their finger,or maybe even showing how usable remote desktop is.
Seems very laggy in certain parts also,wonder if its a lot faster with the shell unloaded.
I like it,but no inbuilt stylus is the deal killer for my use

Ok I have to say maybe the person hasn’t configured it to his liking. but just like how the omnia 1 had different color themes. I am sure omnia 2 also has these configurations. So people try watching theunwired.net review and see what I’m talking about.

I’m not talking about changing WinMo colour scheme. Yes – you could do that on Omnia as you can on any WM device. I mean icon colors, text colors, buttons, title bars in apps, backgrounds. Since Samsung replaces default apps changing their look would require hacking into them and replacing bitmaps and/or color definitions. There is no easy way to do that. Icon/app colors were also impossible to change via some sort of settings menu on first Omnia.

HtC could learn a few tricks from this.

Wow! Even the theme, start menu and settings are skinned! I wonder if turning off the touchwiz will turn off the skinning of the apps…
