SAMSUNG OMNiA ii
Bell
Latest Smartphone with Windows technology
The new Samsung Omnia ii from Bell is the latest Smartphone with windows technology.
It's very similar in style to other recent Samsung releases, the phone fits well in the hand, with easy thumb access to most of the features, which have a decent response time.
The screen is a 3.7-inch OLed, which looks fantastic compared to comparable LCd screens, giving great vivid colour. Samsung is once again using cutting edge technology on the Omnia ii.
The camera is a 5 mega pixel camera, with a dual Led effort rather than a single. it will have a better throw and more even light distribution for photography, which will be up to Samsung's usual high standards.
Unlike recent Windows mobile phones, the Omnia ii brings a front-facing video camera for video calling, it's a phone that's designed towards giving the user full business functionality. With windows 6.5 technology giving the user access to Microsoft Office and Adobe pdf reader this phone truly allows you to leave your laptop at home and still have access to all the tools you need to do business.
