Samsung Omnia II handled again, huge display delights as usual

Samsung's Omnia II is coming to Spain's Movistar in November, but in the meantime, our esteemed colleagues over at Engadget Spanish have had a chance to spend some quality time with the high-end WinMo 6.5 set. Unlike us, they've found that the TouchWiz 2.0-based interface is smooth as silk, which gives us hope that the firmware has improved significantly since way back in June -- and otherwise, there's not a lot to complain about when you're staring at a dazzling 3.7-inch AMOLED display. They've come away with the conclusion that it's plenty light and comfortable despite clocking in a bit taller and wider than the iPhone, and "light and comfortable" is a pretty good start if 6.5 wants to have a successful (if not brief) run ahead of its flashier successor.

Verizon's stalling on the release of this phone makes me want to throw up.

This person is a WinMo stalwart, those are actually styli, albeit not the most attractive...

And the phone does the same effect too.

Note the cube button, this is different from some earlier/different Omnia II models. It's transparent now. Look a lot better in real life, though it doesn't show well in the picture :)

beautiful shots of that awesome phone with that gorgeous screen! i can't wait to get mine. i wonder if wm 6.5 will come with a black theme (for pop-up menus and all). that battery is going to drain fast if it doesn't and you're not using touchwiz.
