This new Omnia II is without a doubt, the most awesome phone I have ever used. It is such a dramatic improvement over the previous Omnia and all other phones I have tried, including, Palm and Blackberry. The screen resolution is AMAZING and with my SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Diary everything is at my fingertips. I LOVE this phone and would recommend to my business collegues in a heartbeat.

I’ve had this phone for almost a week now and I love it. Being a windows mobile phone makes it even better.
The main reason I only give this phone 4 stars is because of 2 things.
1)The headphone jack is on side instead of the top, so if you plan on using it to listen to music, you will want to get headphones with a 90 degree plug on them.
2)The Touch pro interface is not very good.I found the whole widget setup to be fairly unimpressive and the 3d cube thing is an absolute joke (you can just push the buttons at the bottom instead of spending time trying to get the cube to spin to the side that you want).
Normally the interface problem would have been a deal breaker, but you are in luck. I downloaded the SPB Mobile shell replacement and installed that and it’s is incredible. Not only does it make the phone much more functional, but it also makes it look incredible, is easier to edit and add/remove shortcuts, and it reduces the amount of memory needed by quite a bit once you turn off the samsung widget plus interface (under Start>settings>Display settings>Items on Today).
So far everyone at work has been impressed with the phone including a big time mac fan. A couple people have even said the are considering this phone over the Droid after seeing it.
