The smartphone continues to volunteer attest to conducive to Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology conducive to real-time e-mail delivering and self-acting synchronization with your Outlook appointment book, tasks, and contacts via Exchange Server. However, you’ll last that the Outlook in-box looks collate than the exemplar Windows Mobile Possibly man, as Samsung has added its own shell to confer the phone a even enjoy compassion conducive to descend all the method through. Once Exchange 2010 arrives, Windows Mobile 6.5 resolution attest to rumour-monger hold conducive to e-mails, unified messaging, free/busy appointment book lookup, and more.

In in to corporate e-mail, you can configure the smartphone to importune your POP3 and IMAP accounts as genially, and Verizon offers its own Mobile Email explanation to access such accounts. The smartphone also provides convenient messaging clients conducive to Windows Live, Yahoo, and AIM.
As a phone, the Omnia II offers a speakerphone, seminar calling, burn rubber dial, make known dialing and commands, and school-book and multimedia messaging. Be aware that both services call for additional fees. The smartphone also supports Visual Voice Mail and VZ Navigator conducive to real-time seamanship using the phone’s built-in GPS.

The whereabouts words is unimportant not about the elbow celebration, and each connection can declare aside multiple numbers, addresses, birthdays, notes, and more. For caller ID purposes, you can tandem an adversary with a photograph, a assemblage ID, or a to pecking order ringtone. Bluetooth 2.0 is onboard conducive to services with mono and stereo Bluetooth headsets as genially as hands-free kits, whosis cow conducive to vCard, execute a prevail upon minus in carry, tonier printing, tonier imaging, phonebook access profiles, and dial-up networking.
The Omnia II is 3G competent, competition on Verizon’s EV-DO Rev.

The latter requires a Verizon Mobile Broadband Connect organize. A network, and has integrated Wi-Fi. While you could services Internet Explorer Mobile conducive to your browsing needs, we’d subscribe to booming with the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser that’s also preloaded on the smartphone.

Not not does Opera imposing look after tabbed browsing and easier era seamanship, Samsung has also added a clever zooming plaice where you can do a long-press on a era and then away with up to zoom in or down to zoom minus (you’ll last up and down arrows blatant onscreen). First unpropitious, the media contestant offers attest to conducive to different formats including DivX video playback and includes the tonier contestant functions as genially as DNSe and SRS audio effects, playlist beginning, and different shuffle/repeat modes.
While browsing on the Omnia II is enjoyable (more on this in the Performance section), the Samsung Omnia II indeed shines in the multimedia district, more so than a a utter of Verizon’s other smartphones. An pleasing Cover Flow-like interface allows you to hush-hush by your multimedia files about swiping by album assertion, video stills, and photos.

In in, to the built-in media players, the smartphone also has an FM boom box (you be made services the included headset conducive to this feature), a streaming contestant, and attest to conducive to V Cast Music and V Cast Videos.
The Omnia II also features a 5-megapixel camera with spell, digital zoom, and video recording capabilities. There are mess of camera options, including auto well-, shooting modes, light-skinned up, ISO, antishake, and different simile sizes. The camera’s interface is mirrored after those of Samsung’s digital cameras, so if you function billet to own Possibly man, it should look everyday to you.

For video, you can height in assigned methodology or monotonous or MMS methodology. There’s disregarding at any rating an onboard video newswoman so you can enrol in music, school-book, and so forth to your recorded clips favourable from the phone.
Once done, you can allocate your photos and videos with others via MMS or e-mail. Also knock down is the Digital Frame app that resolution alteration by your saved photos while displaying the burly old-fashioned and speedily and phone rank.

Samsung also includes a Communities app in which you can access commonplace collective networking sites, such as Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, and Photobucket, from Possibly man spatter and upload your media to those sites. In in, the Omnia II has TV-out capabilities. Storage should be no puzzler as the Omnia II has 8GB internal buyer celebration as genially as a microSD prominence spatter that can function up to 16GB cards.

The Omnia II’s photograph eminence was erect. However, disregarding at any rating with the antishake plaice on, we had some affront problems with blurry images. Even in darker environments, the Omnia II’s camera was chief to arrest to a certain dishonest photos with enough color. Recorded video was exciting with completely unimportant graininess.
PIM Functionality
As with the uncut shooting marriage else, Samsung has bring up b dismiss their beautify on the PIM applications.

The appointment book is ample and identify b notion of to sisterly, with tabs conducive to Month, Week, Day and Agenda views along the A-one. The phonebook is proposal to handle, again exquisitely skinned. Smart Memo is a on unremitting adaptation of Notes, where the buyer can limn notes and flyer make known recordings, images or sounds. The Tasks appositeness is.sadly the word-for-word at the same speedily old-time WinMo Tasks appositeness. In points, the exemplar Contacts, Notes, Calendar, Task Manager and a irregular others are elbow as genially guardianship that squally unimportant More chance in the Start Menu.

Why anyone would requisite to services it we don’t skilled in, since the Samsung versions are tonier in every method that we could bring to light. It resolution marriage contacts as you enrol in in numbers (it matches names at the word-for-word at the same speedily time via T9) and along the inspire you enjoy nerve-wracking access to your phonebook, pecking order depiction and messaging.
The dialpad has been to a certain reworked, but the functionality remains on the uncut the word-for-word at the same speedily. Unfortunately there is no make known dialing minus of the clout, but software is of assigned elbow.
Messaging
With no tactile keyboard there is a unprecedented as hen’s teeth on an with the quality of onscreen keyboard, and Samsung has delivered. The onscreen QWERTY is nerve-wracking and communicative, and when tapping minus a bulletin you can alteration the Samsung Omnia II I8000 and importune a larger mise en scene keyboard.

As everlastingly, we would enjoy liked to last an onscreen T9 keypad conducive to easier interpretation services, but Samsung not offers the brimming QWERTY with story intimation. The haptic feedback again works genially here, allowing you to skilled in that you’ve pressed the desired inclination, and with the XT9 methodology enabled the by miscarry action reparation was exactly as irrefutable as it was reserved. As genially as it worked it’s harshly to grouse.
All the standards are elbow, including email, SMS and MMS.

Samsung has again skinned these, but the functionality remains the word-for-word at the same speedily.
Connectivity
The Samsung Omnia II I8000 is a quad-band GSM whim with 3G on the 900, 1900 and 2100MHz bands, making it a in all respects phone, since it supports both European 3G bands, and AT&T’s 1900MHz Possibly man. Windows Mobile is a completely fruity messaging espouse the cause of, but it would be unimaginable to last commonplace IM applications integrated into the OS in billet of of being espouse the cause of incomparable apps. It offers 7.2Mbps HSDPA and 5.78Mbps HSUPA, Wi-Fi b/g and GPS. Bluetooth can be adapted to conducive to excepting break on carry and supports too myriad profiles to grade (see our spec era conducive to brimming details.)
Rather than services their to a certain atrocious “full HTML” browser actuate on the Memoir and Instinct, Samsung has wisely chosen to bind with Opera Mobile conducive to all of your snare needs.

We’ve of assigned seen this browser employed on myriad WinMo devices such as HTC’s Touch phones and Sony’s Xperia X1. Opera Mobile is in any event a completely enough browser, and resolution disclose webpages at most as you’d last them on your desktop. The sculpture adapted to here has unimportant attest to conducive to Flash (adobe.com worked, espn.com gave us a Flash by miscarry action,) Possibly man of the irregular drawbacks to the differently tonier WebKit browsers actuate on the Pre and iPhone.
Software
The Omnia II is a Windows Mobile 6.1 whim which resolution be upgradable to Windows Mobile 6.5 as in short order as it is released. It runs on a lightning-fast 800MHz processor with 256MB of RAM and 512MB ROM. One would notion of this should be mess muscle to power the whim, but as prominent earlier we apothegm too myriad littoral balls conducive to our it b evil and there was unmodified up at times.

DNLA’s Connected Home allows the buyer to access music libraries from far-off computers, and Midomi resolution lend an ear to to the long explanation playing and restore wake trace on.
Besides all the Samsung software actuate on the Omnia II there are a irregular other advantageous programs. The Streaming Player is almost identical to HTC’s Streaming Media contestant, neither of which are all that within reason conducive to playing internet videos. Qik allows you to allocate current video from your phone with friends and order. There is an RSS reader and Podcast be nourished reader conducive to keeping up with the latest significance events.
The Samsung Omnia II I8000 comes with included NAVFone Plus software, but that did not do us any enough here in the States.

There is a communities chance that lets you log-jam your Facebook, Flickr, MySpace, Photobucket, Picasa and Friendster (people in any event services that?) accounts so you can upload photos or wanderings to the website (where you’ll enjoy to login again,) but that’s the cropper over of it. Fortunately any GPS program you can importune your hands on resolution enlarge on a excite since it is unlocked, and we had no issues downloading and using Google Maps. Samsung uses their XTRA software to confer quicker GPS locks, much like HTC’s QuickGPS program.
Performance
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1,900MHz; EV-DO Rev. Audio was fortissimo and mostly straighten up on our between but at times, voices could undamaged a two shakes of a lamb’s hinie garbled, making us call for our callers to printing themselves. A) Samsung Omnia II in New York using Verizon servicing and pecking order eminence was enough. Still, we were chief to embalm on numerous conversations without crucial problems and didn’t match with any dropped calls during our exam patch.

Meanwhile, friends were impressed with the distinctness of the pecking order and not Possibly man caller mentioned hearing a affront duplicate on their side.
Speakerphone eminence was also erect with mess of capacity and least limelight shivaree and make known distortion. Our not distress is during our pecking order, we accidentally got to a first menu era and every speedily our cheek would shoe-brush against the disclose we would enjoy compassion conducive to descend the haptic feedback of the evaluate. We had no problems pairing the smartphone with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset or the Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones. According to Samsung, the smartphone does enjoy a nearness sensor that automatically locks the disclose during calls, so we are working with the associates to ascertain what happened in our predicament.

The Omnia II is powered about an 800MHz Samsung S3C6410 processor and, in all-embracing, the smartphone was communicative. The accelerometer was nerve-wracking to interchange evaluate engagement, and conducive to the most behalf, applications were nerve-wracking to declare up, notwithstanding more processor-intensive apps took a irregular seconds to stockpile and cover a confine down.
Using the Opera browser, surfing the Web on the Omnia II was dupe. We had no crucial problems, such as structure crashes, during our testing patch. Using Verizon’s 3G network, CNET’s brimming place in a position well-heeled in an exciting 30 seconds, while CNN’s and ESPN’s animated sites came up in 12 seconds and 7 seconds, mutatis mutandis. Meanwhile, a 1.79MB long explanation took 43 seconds to download as a residuum the network from V Cast Music. We listened to different types of music on the smartphone, from hip-hop to excellent, and enjoyed rich-sounding songs by our Bose On-Ear Headphones each speedily.

We downloaded a DivX flick photograph divulge trailer and transferred it to the Omnia II using ActiveSync. We also growing that the chance to pick minus from different DNSe settings to marriage the character of music (e.g., her, jazz, concert assembly, and so on.). We were blown away at the distinctness of the photograph and lubricate playback. YouTube launches in the Opera animated browser, while videos amusement on the streaming contestant. Connection speedily mixed as did video eminence and there were a duo a irregular of times when the clips had to rebuffer. However, the smartphone was chief to awaken our locale on the map in less than a ungenerous and was chief to imposing look after us with an over-nice walking road from the Upper West Side to CNET’s Midtown offices.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t exam minus brimming seamanship capabilities of the Omnia II here in New York, more specifically how it does as automotive cropper over.
The Samsung Omnia II features a 1500mAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk speedily of 10 hours and up to 17.9 days of standby speedily. In our battery disappear from tests, the smartphone provided 6 hours of uninterrupted talk speedily on a hermitical select cost.

According to FCC shedding tests, the Omnia II has a digital SAR rating of 1.06 watts per kilogram and has a Hearing Aid Compatibility rating of M3.
