Extremely detailed Samsung Omnia 2 review

August 26, 2009 | By Surur

Kenneth let us know via the comments section of a very detailed review of the Samsung Omnia 2 he has published on his blog, freshgear.wordpress.com. I count about 40 screen shots, 5 YouTube videos showing the various applications in action and many products shots and camera pictures form the camera.

Kenneth concludes:

Conclusion

Pro:

Superb wonderful bright screen

Excellent Camera

Built in many useful software; Namecard reader, call filter, video editor, Midomi…

Built-in Memory (2GB/8GB/16GB)

Very fast processor

Cons:

I would prefer a D-pad at the bottom for easy navigation

Would prefer to have the stylus built-in rather than an external one

Touch Wiz UI not as “smooth” as HTC Touch Flo

Even though it comes with 800Mhz processor, there are times it felt laggy.

Personally I believe just the application bundle and its integration with the smartphone is worth the price of entry.

If you are thinking of buying a Samsung Omnia 2, or even if you are not (the review may change your mind) you need to read this review here.

The Omnia 2 doesn't need a built-in stylus, as WinMo 6.5 optimized for finger use will be out next month and the Omnia 2 will be able to get the update.

I think it is better than HTC offerings because of better hardware – Processor, AMOLED Screen and battery life. I think Touch Wiz is better than TouchFlo too.

I have the Omnia 2 and just bought the HTC Hero and the Omnia 2 is a much better cellphone.

I have used my Omnia 2 for business for the last 6 months and I hate it! It is a Windows based phone alright! It freezes way too often. The battery doesn't even last me 8 hours during the day. Active sync is totally unreliable, It sends out error messages requiring a complete re synch and all the work done on the cell that day is lost. The stylus gave up after a couple of months and I have been unable to get a replacement. Reception in my area is very sporadic, and once the signal is lost, I have to re-boot the phone to get it back. Re-boots take up to 6 minutes. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!

Total garbage!!
