Anyone already pick up the Omnia II?

Still trying to decide if it's worth it seeing as I'm no where near my upgrade date.

I am no where near my upgrade date either, but I will be stopping by the mall on my way home from work to check it out and see how it feels anyway

Re: Anyone already pick up the Omnia II?

Was just playing with it in the store. Seems pretty good. The swype keyboard is pretty accurate, I was surprised. And it seems Samsung got the problem with the moving widgets solved in Touchwiz 2.0. It seems you can only move the widgets when the widget tray is open, but when it is closed they are locked in place. The one I was playing with had a low battery so I couldn't check out the camera, but from what I read it is more or less the same thing as the one in our omnia, but the video is better. I was able to disable the touch wiz and widgets and see the WinMo 6.5 interface there ready to go, so that was nice. You can the only thing that didn't change was the settings menus. Even with the widgets off and the touchwiz disabled I still didn't see the standard WM menus. The cube seems fairly useless to me..much like the carousel in Mobile shell. But on the whole I liked the phone, but they are pricing it a bit high, but what are you going to do...

Re: Anyone already pick up the Omnia II?

I wonder how much program memory is used off the shelf? I was playing with a Tilt 2 the other day and with nothing running in the background, it only had like 40mb program memory available out of like 256! I just don't think I can go back to a phone with a ROM that the provider has cluster****ed up! The problem is that knowing VZ/Sammy, we'll be stuck with the stock ROM for a while. Plus i'm so used to having the startmenu/close buttons on the bottom (where they should be!) that I feel it would be a step backwards.
