Omnia 2 coming soon with big VZ

[brandogg]

If this comes to Verizon any time soon, I will be pissed - that or I will steal one of my family member's upgrades and get the Omnia 2. Even if the only difference was the screen, I'll be pissed.

In all honesty the screen is what has me bug eyed. It's the one thing that can't be fixed with a cooked rom that drives me bonkers. I love my Omnia but I've added amoled WVGA to my list of must haves on my next device. I personally think Samsung nailed it with wide screens. vgs is too wide for my taste

I think the polygon looks butt ugly though. I never use the 4 way because it's redundant and cumberson why keep it AND make it ugly?

Also want to point out there is a OmniaII vid on youtube and the UI looks sluggish....nothing Adrynalyn can't fix though. Now I gotta hope he gets one too!!

I don't think this will be an issue, by the time VZW picks up on it, we will be past our NE2 and have plenty of time to save. To be fair though with Samsung/VZW history, it will most likely be pretty fairly priced....just look how cheap the Omnia came out, the lowest priced PPC at the time, and that was the cream of the crop for VZW!!!

Personally, I don't use the 4 way much either, but that is one thing I really like about the design, I think it is unique and adds character to the device.

As for sluggish, being as it is a pre-market version I don't think the vids are too indicative of it's true potential. The device can be tweaked like we do now, is upgradable to true 6.5 when it is out, and once we get ROMs cooking, I have a feeling it will even leave the Omnia wanting!!

this is gonna be a big phone to contain the new screen. i measured out an iphone of one the guys at work, and this phone should be right in that size range.

oink, oink

I'm going to disagree with you here. it's a WVGA screen and it's only .2 inches larger the the iphone the Iphones screen is huge. The W form factor lets you get more screen without the size increase. I think it's going to be the best screen possible for a device that is supposed to be small. I really really hope this thing gets a nice battery though. around the 4000ma range. that seems exessive but it would make me happy!

I know apple has been working on a screen with a solar pannel behind it to help charge the phone. I really think that's going to be the next Ultimate phone...the phone that doesn't need to be charged, now to see who gets there first.

Agreed! with the new flexible solar cells and such from Konarka and others it is inevitable
