i own an omnia as well as an omnia i8000.
the difference between both are as follows....omnia 2 has a higher resolution screen then omnia(4 x to be exact),an amoled screen which supports 16million colour when winmo 6.5 is released(currently limited to 65k),a 3.5mm jack, the cube media which is very interactive as the omnia 2 has graphic acceleration unlike omnia and sound system is very good and clear...touchwiz 2 is already maturing well with the winmo..AND NO STYLUS....why? BECAUSE YOU DONT NEED ONE....omnia 2 is designed to be managed with finger and unlike i phone os u dont need to fingers to zoom in or out....just only 1!!!1 and the new resistive screen with haptic feedback is excellent...very responsive and i would say its almost 90% to a capacitive touchscreen so u wont feel much difference with it...sadly no multi touch like i phone but theres no use for that too..memory is 8GB but expandable...now whether its laggy or not....DEPENDS....u can control the performance of ur cpu...i set it at auto..and the response is good...programme launching is very fast...about 1 second after u press it...but i believe it need a newer ROM cause its like its running vista haha...battery life excellent can last few days with wifi on and intermittent game and song and movie....and movie watching is excellent...whether u should get this phone? well if u want a win mo..this is the best out there...if u want capacitive with greater camera then go for omnia hd...about the accelerometer...unlike omnia u cant set it manually..its automated...which is a good thing trust me.if anyone wants to ask any question about omnia 2 just IM me at shansp3...sorry i dont sell mobile...i got mine from singapore...its cheaper there...dirt cheap haha..

Just to share some comment.
Omnia II can really be a big gun, a killer.
However, it's so sad that they wasted their AMOLED by just offering 65K of color. Besides, the review also stated that they have some problem browsing with flash. This two point seriously stopped me from changing my current 5800 Music Express to Omnia II. Windows Mobile....a bit scarry experience. Start-up time like taking years.
Samsung your gun is still not powerful enough. I'm still a very happy Nokia 5800 ME user. :-p

Omnia II could have been a nice phone but it seems Samsung released it too early - it almost feel like, big boss said go live and developers just stopped typing and they shipped the phone. LOTS of software issues
1. Volume rom settings too low to hear anything
2. Reading in the sun is almost impossible
3. Email just doesn't work - you can at best see your inbox, it lists other email folders but has no way to display the content for them. Even the simple feature to choose which folders to sync is altogether missing
4. Samsung supports does not exist - in USA, they don't honor international support and in other locations, they don't seem to know anything - their website seems to be built by people who just got into the schools - couldn't even get graduates to build it.

Stay away from Samsung

at 117g an a better than average battery life, i would've gotten this phone. However now i use Nokia N79 and quite content with the features.

Im waiting for the future unborn sibling of this Omnia II. Why? Coz of Windows Mobile 7. This phone rocks, theres no doubt. But i would be quite sad to be stuck in a stopgap OS when WM7 comes out later.

but i hope the features stay: 3.7" and all

to fix omnia 2 sunlight visibility issue just turn off the auto backlight and set it manual at 50%. that is bright enough to see clearly in the sun. so it was never something wrong with the amoled screen, it was a software issue.

@Val
Sometimes the installation om the software glitches, so it doesnt really matter if you find an upgrade.

So what you need is to send the phone to a repairshop, let them flash the phone, and reinstall it.
Not just an upgrade, that almost never fix anything thats not an known issue. An upgrade just replaces some lines of code, and if your not extremly lukcy and the problem that is exclusive for your unit, happens to be in the line of code that is upgraded, the upgrade wont do it for you.

You clearly have some issues, that is not an issue with the OS and UI running on Omnia II please have it fixed, and stop posting that issue over and over. You might scare of potential buyers, people might actually think that the auto rotation is not avalible in the browser.

Is there indentification for the incoming call? Because, I only have identification with photo (only My contacts), not by number. So, if someone calls me, on the screen shows only ,,incoming call''.
