We have received shiny new and improved Samsung I8000 Omnia II with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Samsung TouchWiz 2.0. It feels very fast with 800Mhz CPU, and large AMOLED display with better resolution than previus one. Now there is also an audio 3.5mm jack. We do not like the cover for microUSB socket, and maybe too conventional design.
Enjoy the screen shots of new phone and operating system.
Short specification:
Size: 118 x 60 x 12mm
Weight: 117gr
RAM/ROM: 256MB/8GB
Expansion: microSDHC

@Lord
Sorry, we haven’t tried it with 6.1. Device itself is very fast and responsive and we are looking forward to playing with final version of the OS. However we did not like the navi-key since it is not 5-way, only standard button, it looks cheep on such a great device.
@RobS
It should cost 600-650€ in stores (SIM free)

Actualy, none of the photos is related to operating system. They all are photos of TouchWiz 2.0, a finger friendly layer above Windows Mobile.

@uncle Serge, true, if you are interested in wm6.5 without TouchWiz you can see http://ai.rs/2009/08/htc-mega-wm6-5-screenshots/

Have Samsung solved the issue with the widgets
(that can be dragged & dropped onto the today screen) moving around all over the place. It seems every time you switch on the device that the widgets have randomly moved somewhere else or dsappeared entirely from the screen?

Hi! I have a problem with my Omnia II on WM 6.5,
The Lock Screen will not display my wall paper and its a funny shade of blue.
How do I change it?
Thank you (:
