Samsung Omnia II could be the first phone with Windows Mobile 6.5.

No, its not a rumour. Samsung Omnia II announced at the same time as the Samsung Jet in one recent unpacked events that, Samsung Omnia II will be the first fone to run with Windows Mobile 6.5.

Also, the press release of A1 network(one of the Austrian Mobile Provider) will bring out the phone “Exclusively”.

It was expected that, Windows Mobile 6.5 will be out in the quarter 4 of the same year, but as per Microsoft Austria, the new Samsung phone, along with windows mobile 6.5 will be out by the end of september.

The phone will be exclusively out in Austria only, that doesnt mean that in all other world regions, it will be exclusive as well. It is predicted that, In India and other Asian countries, Samsung Omnia II with Win Mob 6.5, will come at the beginning of 2010.

Now, we have our eyes on windows mobile6.5 updates, lets see will this be some what really new, or some boring updates, as they did with window mobile 6.1

According a Mobile-Review forum poster, and insider has leaked the purported specs of the new Sony Ericsson device.

Apparently the device will feature:
-8.1mpx auto focus, VGA @ 30fps (MP4 HQ)
-3.5´ WVGA OLED (increased from 3.0 from X1)
-GPS, aGPS
-3.5 mm headphone jack
-Accelerometer
-Faster processor
-512 RAM
-Custom Windows Mobile 6.5 (SE engineers customized Win6.5 which runs very. very speedy. in par with iPhone and better in some cases)
-XPERIA Panels are modified with plenty of innovative features (PS3 remote play being one of them)
-Upgrading to Windows Mobile 7 is supported by Xperia panels

If these specs are accurate the device would seem to be rather feature pack and correct much of the issues people had with the original Xperia. In fact, one could say the only thing holding back this device is its rather 90’s looks.

Good enough to give Sony Ericsson a second chance ? Let is know in the comments.

Samsung has just announced the Samsung Omnia 930SC, to be released end of November on the Softbank network in Japan, and not only does this device rectify one of the greatest issues with the Omnia (the low resolution 240×400 screen) by boosting it to the new Windows Mobile high-end 800×480, but also adds a One-Seg TV tuner which can record up to 48 hours of TV onto the 8 GB internal storage.
