Firstly, the screen of the Samsung Omnia2 I8000 is an impressive 3.7 inch in size. It is an AMOLED resistive touchscreen that can display up to 16M colours. It’s a shame that the screen isn’t a capacitive one although it looks fantastic. The resolution of the screen is high at an impressive 480×800 pixels and the TouchWiz UI is included with the phone. It also comes with an accelerometer for auto rotate and a handwriting recognition function. The downside to this impressive hardware is that the phone is quite large and weighs 123g.
Although the Windows Mobile OS has some major problems and is difficult to use there are some advantages. Firstly, if you’re a power user then the OS provides a greater number of features although the Android OS isn’t far behind. The operating system allows you to use your phone in a similar way that you would a computer although this isn’t to everyone’s taste.
Connectivity options are hugely important for any modern phone. The Samsung Omnia2 I8000 comes with 3G technology, WiFi support and EDGE. It also has Bluetooth technology and a microUSB port. The inbuilt memory depends on the model that you buy but it can be expanded up to 32GB using the micro SD slot.

The main camera supports video capture at up to 30fps and there is a secondary camera included for making video calls. Other features include an FM radio, geo tagging and an MP3 player.
Overall, the Samsung Omnia2 I8000 is a great phone for a number of different reasons. Even though it is over a year old it can still stand up to many modern smartphones in regard to features and quality.
