14 DAY TRIAL // One of the nicest and highly popular mobile phone that arrived on the market during the ongoing year with Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system on board is the Samsung Omnia II. The phone is currently available in a wide range of markets around the world, runs under the 6.5 version of the platform, brings forth one of the most appealing touchscreen displays on the market, and has just been through a disassembling process that was also caught on video for your viewing pleasure.
The tearing down video comes from the guys over at techblog.gr, those who not too long ago published some interesting photos and videos with Omnia II placed side by side to some other highly popular handsets around, like the iPhone 3GS or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The video can be seen at the bottom of this article, and those interested in the disassembling actions will certainly have what to feast their eye with.
In the meantime, we should say a few words on this beauty, including the fact that, although the phone now runs under Windows Mobile 6.5, it has been initially delivered to the market with the older 6.1 flavor of the platform. However, as soon as Microsoft launched the latest iteration of its mobile client, Samsung also operated an upgrade to it upon its entire Omnia series, thus making it possible for Verizon's users to enjoy the 6.5 goodness on the handset right from the start.
The Samsung Omnia II comes with a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, which makes it more than appealing, though it is the only one feature it sports. Users can also enjoy a 5-megapixel photo snapper with the phone, as well as 8GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot that allow for additional storage space to be included in the equation. The phone also sports Samsung's proprietary UI, which adds some more flavor to Microsoft's platform, turning the Omnia II into a pretty good competitor against more appealing handsets like the iPhone or Motorola DROID.
