The Droid isn't the only Verizon-serviced phone making waves, nor is Android the only platform in town. Come December 2nd, Verizon will release the Samsung Omnia II, and despite earlier speculation, it will run Windows Mobile 6.5 rather than old 6.1 code.
Available in black with red accents, the Omnia II will ship with a 3.7-inch touchscreen and a virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swipe technology. It will also come with full HTML web browsing capabilities with the Opera 9.5 enhanced browser.
Other features include one-touch access to social networking sites via shortcut widgets, a 5MP camera with flash, auto-focus, and camcorder capabilities, integrated support for Divx and Xvid movie files, 8GB of internal memory expandable up to 16GB vai microSD, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Verizon and Samsung will price the handset at $200 after a $100 mail-in-rebate (in the form of a debit card) and new two-year customer contract.

This seems like a nice model and the price is quite affordable. I wonder how the VoIP version will be because mine got old. I can't wait to browse through its applications.

Lets just hope the Omnia II doesn't repeat the first Omnia's mistakes. It was a gorgeous phone with good ideas, but had them implemented poorly. It was the most irritating phone I had ever used, a real exercise in frustration. Most notable problem with it? Accidently zooming in on things when you never wanted to zoom. Happened way more often than you would want. I like Verizon, I want them to have good phones ><
