There are a number of versions available, depending on where it's released.
But the most common are the European version GT- i8000 Omnia 2 and the Omnia 2 i920 released in other parts like USA (Verizon), other versions are available in other parts of the world. You'd have to google it.
any omnia owner should buy spb mobile shell for their phone. I wish samsung would use it as their default shell instead of the crappy touchwiz 2.0 interface.
@despotovski01 This phone is too Laggy. Dont buy it. I have it, and is a bad phone. Ths screen scratchs too easy, the performance is too low compared with an iphone 3gs. The 800mhz processor is really to slow. Buy an iphone, but if you need a windows phone, buy an htc hd2, this is a fast phone. If you prefer a android phone, go for htc evo 4g. i prefer iphone 4 or iphone 3gs. Sorry my english. Good luck
@despotovski01 its a little bit laggy unlike the iphone thats really smooth and fast but I personally like this phone since it has lots of features and its fun to use.
can you choose the order of the widgets? I don't use Facebooh or CNN news so I don't even need them at all.... and I'd prefer the Caledar widget to be one of the firsts in the order...
hello i have tmobile usa im going to buy this phone from ebay unlocked for tmobile. if i buy it do i need the data plan for the phone?? can i just use it for calling and texting?? i dont wanna have to pay for the data plan let me know thanks
You'll do yourself a disservice if you don't have a data package and you'll end paying more if you accidentally use data outside your allowance.
I have an Omnia II (i8000) and I am mostly running custom roms and being able to use internet is a great asset to this phone. There are a lot of sources for free apps so you don't have to spend a lot of money besides your monthly bill!
HELLO CAN YOU UPLOAD A VIDEO OF THE Samsung Omnia II i8000 WHITE VERSION I WANT TO BUY IT BUT IN PICTURES THE Samsung Omnia II i8000 WHITE IT LOOKS PRETTY UGLY IT SAYS THAT IS THE CERAMIC WHITE LIKE PS3(JAPANESE VERSION) AND IN PS3 LOOKS FANTASTICBUT... I SEARCHED ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT I FOUND NOTHING ABOUT A VIDEO DEMONSTRATING THE WHITE VERSION OF Samsung Omnia II i8000 YOU KNOW A REAL VIDEO AND NOT JUST PHOTOS AN UNBOXING
@mikendog i find it amusing how you laugh at stupid ppl? do you have no life?
is it because im fucking your mom at this very moment =), or because your some bum in a internet cafe trying to watch porn=). I find retards who try really hard to insult someone yet fail in the end, VERY amusing, like YOU. So go back to your internet cafe and shove a "dog" up your ass. mikendog.

Guys as of now the iphone3gs is still the best most customizable mobile device out there. Dont know a year or so down the line but as of now it is, once u actually experience the smoothness and all the things u can do to and with the iphone once u jailbrake, then u wont be so open to the idea of going to just any other mobile device, it would take a lot to switch if u knew how much the iphone its capable of. Not stock but once u actually jailbrake there is a whole other world out there.
This two phone what you want to choose from, are not in the same category.
The LG KP500 is a much more cheaper device, which has a closed OS, and it has just the necessary (ordinary) functions. It doesn't have a 3G, or an AF camera, and it also doesn't have HSPDA.
The Omnia II is much more expensive, but a full High-Tech PDA, which has WM 6.1. It has almost everything - 3G, HSDPA/HSUPA, 5MP AF camera.
I've finally decided and bought this phone. I had trouble deciding between this and nokia n900 and there are very few sites that compares both of them
im sorry i know its hard, because for 4 months now i've been researching phones and looking for the right one and i have no idea! some people say they are good and others say that its bad! its soo annoying that i cant make my mind up about getting the right one!im thinking of getting the nokia n97 mini or nokia 5530!? maybe. lol good luck and i hope you make the right decision! : ) x
(to be honest i dont like the omnia or the cookie)
thats because the iphone really cant do anything. this phone is wayyy better than the iphone. all of them. if u disagree, tell me how the iphone is better
I heard an iphone can even make your bed after u wake up and i heard this samsung has an amazing 8 mp camera but cant make your bed :(.This is the diference i think betwen them if u understand what i mean xD.
the Verizon Omnia 2 actually is way faster. I don't know if for some reason they put less ram on that version. I have one it's amazing. You can (if you want) run the droids software on the Omnia 2 and it is just as fast (or at least almost as fast) as it is on the actual Droid obviously you have to use the Droids on screen keyboard to type though. I might post a video on how to.
Hey i see that ur omnia was really slow at respondin to taps etc and even mine is kinda slow like urs...But online i haven't found anyone complaining abt it. Does this mean something is wrong with mine? or i have missed something...please help me out..
Good phone. The Samsung Omnia 2 will be my next phone. I definitely need it for using Twitter and surfing the net on the go as well as checking my Email.
Ok sim wantin to get the omnia. 1 or 2. the thing is i wanna know.. do you have to have internet installed. like if you have pix messagin you have internet as well. cause i dont wanna pay the extra bill.. and do you have to have the internet to use the wifi. please answer my ???. i would appreciate it Thanks
Samsung is giving you the future today by selling OLED displays. I mean OLED aren't really mainstream in the TV panels yet because of prohibitive cost infrastructure.
So, I wouldn't be to upset at the Omnia II price tag. If Samsung with Verizon sell the phone for around 250 with a 2 year contract 100 dollar rebate, I'll sell my soul to Verizon.
You can adjust the speed setting to maximum in order to decrease lag on the Omnia 2. However, the side effect of incresed speed will be battery life. So pick your poison. Obvioulsy, I will choose a shorter battery life for less lag.
where did u buy the phone and how did you get it on at&t? and when the hell is it comming to america? can anyone tell me whem the fuck verizon is getting this phone????
they should work on the touch screen response. i have the omnia 1 and i thought they would've fixed that with the omnia 2. guess not. overall 7/10 and im being very modest with that.
Spec for spec this thing should be killing the HTC TP2 and Imagio, but when you SEE how they run in demos here on the net......the Samsung is ridiculously laggy. I couldn't stand that. The HTC's are about as good as resistive is gonna get. Closest thing to capacitive response.
I would have gotten this phone if it wasn't 7 times more expensive than my iphone 3G 8gb.
this phone needs more apps to compete with the iphone. apps will make or break. I had a pocket pc back in 1999 and only stopped using it when i got my iphone because the pocket pc (now windows mobile) has thousands and thousands and thousands of apps.
The only thing that Microsoft Know to do... is copy the ideas of everything.... but I don't care, the problem is that they do it very very bad!... except Xbox 360...
even though the omnia HD has a slightly slower processor i still think im going to get the HD, if i see these 2 next to eachother i always go for the HD. But this phone is really good to
I'm on the market for a new phone... I want to get the Nokia N97, but i've heard that it's not a good phone. My dad has a Iphone and i hate it :P the Samsung Omnia looks like it lags allot so i don't want that.... Anyone got any sugesstions? I want a deecent phone that i can use as a MP3, Browser and a camera. Of coure calling and txting :D.
Samsung OMNIA II could be the choice for you with its 800MHz processor but it might come very expensive. I bought Samsung Jet last night, similar hardware to OMNIA II including 800MHz processor and runs like a bullet. really fast phone and does all you want. I highly recommend it and its much cheaper.
maybe this phone is so laggy because its not in u.s yet..its out only over seas at the time im sure once this hits verizon it will be fine...this still seems hands down better then iphone..just need to work on that laggyness
Just wanna say how I appreciate your objectiveness ;). I'm here watching your touch phone reviews and constantly saying to myself: ooh, that's way better on the Iphone, and ooh that rocks on the Touch HD. I know that I couldn't be as objective as you.
wow 420$? where you buying from in the phil??im going to mindano in november, you can use with at&t in usa, although call them and ask about 1900 3g bands being used in your area
haha in my country Singapore its already selling like a month ago its selling at i think around USD 550 without contract? i dunno yeah around that price i think
its not laggy i bought the phone if u place tooooooo many widgets it will other than that its fine! fantastic video quality rich colours and good sound playback... BUT WHAT I NEED TO NOE IS HOW DO I CHANGE THAT OTHER TWO HOMESCREEN WITH THE GI JOE WALLPAPERS ITS!!!!!! CAN ANY ONE HELP ME??
This looks like a Singapore model from M1. They offer the Omnia II with the GI Joe stuff and there's this Channel Newsasia widget that Brandon didn't show.
"We have MySpace and Youtube and those two are the same as the Facebook widget. They just link to the website, which is kind of...kind of blocked."
"It's a little bit slow. Right now, I'm over 3G (actually 3G+), so it should be fast, but it's not."
LMAO
Anyway, I can't believe the Youtube widget is actually a link. Google offers a Youtube app for Windows Mobile now, so why the hell didn't Samsung just make a widget for that? The widget icon even looks like the Youtube app icon!
O My God Why are the widgets so MASSIVE the unit converter should be a small widget & when u click on it it should open up, WHY does Samsung create MASSIVE widgets they should create ones like Android / SPB Mobile shell 3, Samsung needs to get in the real world & sort them selfs out, this is my next phone but with Widgets 5 times the size they need to be I will be very disappointed..
with this hardware and its 800MHz processor, dedicated graphics accelerator its suppose to be one of the fastest mobiles out there!!!but this shows how the OS+samsung UI FAIL. probably the UI since other wm devices like HTC's are much more responsive nice review.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
HTC+Qualcomm is most garbage out there, the only reason to buy HTC is XDA Developer. HTC stick since 3 generations on that crappy MSM72XX, HTC is pure shit.
HTC is pure shit?!then i don,t know what else left...we should wait for some new manufacturers anyway i was talking about the lagness of THIS specific phone and i still think HTC's Thouchflow3D is far superior than this crap and the new sense UI which HTC is gonna import it to WM is gonna rock. I still think this OS+UI killed this great hardware samsung built.
For your information if you missed the topic, this video is about Widgets and does not represent the whole UI.Check out the Software Review and u will see the Software is no way laggy and Touchflo is BS. HTC doesn´t even have Widgets, just wether and stocks, not really customizable. BTW you can change the software but not the Hardware and HTC is real piece of shit especially at Mutlimedia like video playback and gaming, which tortures the Hardware.
Yeah what are they doing with that processor? I expected it to fly but its slow. Hmmmm Im really looking a new phone soon and I doubt this will be it. Looking forward to next video
why don´t u get the idea,that the laggyness might be caused by the widget appz itself? isn´t it it obviuos that it will lag, if the connection to the online service is lame?
Have you ever used Mobile Shell 3? It runs with lots of widgets across 3 screens on my Touch HD (a slower device) and stays smooth. Who said anything about online widgets? We are talking about just using the device in general not the updating of online information on the widgets
This video is about the TouchWiz UI which is what I commented on. You are right, on the next video it shows a software tour and the phone is nippy but this video on THE TOUCHWIZ UI is slow and laggy. After seeing the full review I am impressed by this phone I just feel that TouchWiz is to slow and the widgets much to big. The hero sufferes the same problem. When I said "who's talking about ONLINE widgets" that was aimed at your slow server comment which has nothing to do with my original post
it looks like the screen isn't that sensitive, takes quite a bit of effort to drag the widget to the centre. call me old fashion, i still prefer all the widgets line up on the home screen and double tap to activate the function
Im actually excited to see the HTC Hero software tour, my cell phone contract ends in september and i'm still trying to descide between the HTC Touch Diamond 2(it comes out in August in the US), the HTC Hero or maybe even the Palm Pre
it looks a little laggy sometimes and the touch screen doesnt seem as good as the iphone. doesnt flow as well in my point. but i dont really know.... :)
it should be better in the future with 6.5. but don't you think it should still be faster and more responsive than it is now, especially since 6.1 is pretty much "perfected" already? It just seems so unresponsive compared to their other phones.

Spec for spec this thing should be killing the HTC TP2 and Imagio, but when you SEE how they run in demos here on the net......the Samsung is ridiculously laggy. I couldn't stand that. The HTC's are about as good as resistive is gonna get. Closest thing to capacitive response.
Sammy's UI is far from impressive IMHO.

I would have gotten this phone if it wasn't 7 times more expensive than my iphone 3G 8gb.
this phone needs more apps to compete with the iphone. apps will make or break. I had a pocket pc back in 1999 and only stopped using it when i got my iphone because the pocket pc (now windows mobile) has thousands and thousands and thousands of apps.

the touch pro 2 is rumored to be coming out this week, you could pick that up and try it out in-store.
also the storm 2 is supposedly arriving the first week of october so you may want to play with it then too

Samsung OMNIA II could be the choice for you with its 800MHz processor but it might come very expensive. I bought Samsung Jet last night, similar hardware to OMNIA II including 800MHz processor and runs like a bullet. really fast phone and does all you want. I highly recommend it and its much cheaper.

Just wanna say how I appreciate your objectiveness ;). I'm here watching your touch phone reviews and constantly saying to myself: ooh, that's way better on the Iphone, and ooh that rocks on the Touch HD. I know that I couldn't be as objective as you.

"We have MySpace and Youtube and those two are the same as the Facebook widget. They just link to the website, which is kind of...kind of blocked."
"It's a little bit slow. Right now, I'm over 3G (actually 3G+), so it should be fast, but it's not."
LMAO
Anyway, I can't believe the Youtube widget is actually a link. Google offers a Youtube app for Windows Mobile now, so why the hell didn't Samsung just make a widget for that? The widget icon even looks like the Youtube app icon!

O My God Why are the widgets so MASSIVE the unit converter should be a small widget & when u click on it it should open up, WHY does Samsung create MASSIVE widgets they should create ones like Android / SPB Mobile shell 3, Samsung needs to get in the real world & sort them selfs out, this is my next phone but with Widgets 5 times the size they need to be I will be very disappointed..

with this hardware and its 800MHz processor, dedicated graphics accelerator its suppose to be one of the fastest mobiles out there!!!but this shows how the OS+samsung UI FAIL. probably the UI since other wm devices like HTC's are much more responsive nice review.

HTC is pure shit?!then i don,t know what else left...we should wait for some new manufacturers anyway i was talking about the lagness of THIS specific phone and i still think HTC's Thouchflow3D is far superior than this crap and the new sense UI which HTC is gonna import it to WM is gonna rock. I still think this OS+UI killed this great hardware samsung built.
DonKino6 2 years ago
For your information if you missed the topic, this video is about Widgets and does not represent the whole UI.Check out the Software Review and u will see the Software is no way laggy and Touchflo is BS. HTC doesn´t even have Widgets, just wether and stocks, not really customizable. BTW you can change the software but not the Hardware and HTC is real piece of shit especially at Mutlimedia like video playback and gaming, which tortures the Hardware.

Yeah what are they doing with that processor? I expected it to fly but its slow. Hmmmm Im really looking a new phone soon and I doubt this will be it. Looking forward to next video

why don´t u get the idea,that the laggyness might be caused by the widget appz itself? isn´t it it obviuos that it will lag, if the connection to the online service is lame?

Have you ever used Mobile Shell 3? It runs with lots of widgets across 3 screens on my Touch HD (a slower device) and stays smooth. Who said anything about online widgets? We are talking about just using the device in general not the updating of online information on the widgets

This video is about the TouchWiz UI which is what I commented on. You are right, on the next video it shows a software tour and the phone is nippy but this video on THE TOUCHWIZ UI is slow and laggy. After seeing the full review I am impressed by this phone I just feel that TouchWiz is to slow and the widgets much to big. The hero sufferes the same problem. When I said "who's talking about ONLINE widgets" that was aimed at your slow server comment which has nothing to do with my original post

yeah maybe it's lil bit laggy...
but i think that because the touchwiz is heavy. and it run under winmo.

it should be better in the future with 6.5. but don't you think it should still be faster and more responsive than it is now, especially since 6.1 is pretty much "perfected" already? It just seems so unresponsive compared to their other phones.
