    Samsung Omnia II Has Biggest Ever Phone AMOLED Display, Coming to Verizon

    Samsung's dropping a whole lotta Omnia, if you haven't noticed. Verizon's getting the Omnia II (Sammy's leaving when and for how much for Verizon to announce), which has the biggest AMOLED display yet in in a phone—3.7 inches at WVGA resolution. It's going to have TouchWiz 2.0 as well, meaning it's got more widget power, with what Samsung calls "smart unlock," so you can directly access apps from the lock screen.

    Oh, and it'll be updateable to Windows Mobile 6.5 from the WM 6.1 it ships with.

    All-in-one Redefined: Omnia II (I8000)
    The Omnia II is designed for the smartphone user who demands an enhanced and convenient multimedia experience featuring Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.

    Featuring the world's largest 3.7-inch AMOLED display with crystal-clear WVGA resolution, the Omnia II offers unbeatable screen clarity, even under the day light.

    Complete with larger icons and a simpler structure, Omnia II's user interface has been deeply customized to provide touch-optimized usability. Also, innovative TouchWiz 2.0 User Interface and 3D effects make enjoying multimedia and multi tasking convenient and fun. Advanced R Touch (Resistive Touch) enables faster, more accurate touch response for a touch experience that's 100% user friendly.

    The much enhanced display and user interface make it even more pleasurable to enjoy the rich multimedia functions of the Omnia II, including its DVD-like(480p) video recording/playback, smooth internet browsing as well as interactive 3D games. Users can also access and download content speedily while on the move thanks to the Omnia II's HSUPA 5.76Mbps, HSDPA 7.2Mbps and Wi-Fi capabilities.
