Samsung Omnia II goes to Austria with WinMo 6.5 out-of-the-box - read the full textMicrosoft couldn't help themselves but brag that the Samsung Omnia II running Windows Mobile 6.5 will be available through Mobilkom Austria exclusively starting late September. They will be the first Austrian mobile operator to get the new OS. It's yet unclear if the other countries will be as...

Does 65k colours make any difference 2 de 256k or 16million? I personally could'nt see much difference. I agree with the guy saying that S60 touch (v5) is still a toddler and WinMo is better than even Apple and BlackBerry combined. I would even opt for Android or Palm's WebOS. Btw this phone is the bomb. Go Sammy!

This seems to be a good one. Could be my next mobile phone. but its a tough decision between omnia HD and omnia II. I personally have more liking toward omnia HD, but this one is also a beast :).

I had an Omnia which failed to work after multiple efforts by myself and Vodafone. Now have a Storm which is passable but not free of faults and frustration by any means. This new Omnia looks very tempting, but I hate the use of a stylus, but like the file handling and compatibility with my computer. Really not sure now whether to go Omnia again or wait for Storm 2. Advice welcomed especially if others have experience of either or both devices.

Wish this phone was out now, No other handset really compares!
Samsung Jet is great, but its not a smart phone
Nokia n97 Is a joke! it's an QWERT N95
Samsung i8910, Is brilliant but only available on Orange, (which is a no no for me, Can't get signal at work or at home!) Symbian 5th Edition is very young, It needs a lot of development I am afraid that in 6 months, it will be negletted by Samsung and will not have firmware updates.

I just wish that Samsung put there 12MP camera in this little beauty!
