Samsung Omnia II gets broken down, screenshot by screenshot

The overwhelming mediocrity of Windows Mobile 6.5 gives us pause before saying something sensational like “it’s a great time to be a WinMo fan,” but we’ve got to admit, manufacturers are really stepping up their game to deliver these days — one need look no further than the mighty HD2 to see that. The Omnia II’s looking pretty solid, too, especially if you like your phones served up keyboard-free, and ai.rs blog has compiled a comprehensive screenshot gallery showing just how deep the TouchWiz integration really goes. Build quality is said to be top-notch, and it’s pretty hard to argue with a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display — so as we go into 2010, it looks like we might be gearing up for an epic TouchFLO / TouchWiz showdown in the WinMo octagon. Who doesn’t like a good fight?

HTC HD2 fulfills its unboxing obligations on video

You’ve already seen the HD2 that HTC would have you see, but now it’s time to take the obligatory journey to the world of unboxings. Seen here in “not-yet-final” packaging, the WinMo 6.5-packin’ handset looks sexier than ever, even in that still-to-be-tweaked green box. Hop on past the break and mash play if you’re looking to get all sorts of jealous this morning.

HTC’s HD2 continues to impress, reveals multi-touch web browsing

We’ve seen plenty about HTC’s hot HD2, gone hands-on and sized it up next to everyone’s most/least favorite smartphone, but there’s one thing we haven’t seen yet: multi-touch in IE. The video embedded below from Techblog.gr is in a language you may not quite understand, but certainly everyone can grok the snappy UI performance and the pinch zooming demonstrated at the 2:20 mark. It does look a wee bit unresponsive at this point, but HTC still has time to make things perfect before releasing it here — though to be honest we’d rather just have it now.

Acer neoTouch S200 reviewed, not recommended

After what seemed like a full lifetime of waiting, Acer’s recently-launched neoTouch S200 is finally making its way into some reviewing hands. The fine young cannibals over at Phone Arena have just given it the head to toe treatment, and we have to say, we’re glad they’ve done the dirty work for us. This WinMo 6.5 handset, according to their impressions, seems to be a not fully baked affair — sluggishness and random crashing are both reported, as is a rather serious sounding call quality issue. The battery also seems to be inadequate for a workday, coming in at around five hours. Overall, the phone suffers from software optimization problems more than hardware issues. The one ray of light in all this is of course that 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, which can multitask and handle several things at once without flinching — but it’s rather hard to get pumped about it in the face of all that sadness. Hit the read link for the full, exhaustive review.

HTC Tilt2 now available on AT&T

Those looking for a slightly more QWERTY-equipped WinMo 6.5 device for AT&T than the HTC Pure need look no further than its stablemate, the Tilt2, now that it’s officially available to all comers. The carrier’s second model to use Microsoft’s latest and greatest cut of Windows Mobile stays pretty true to its Touch Pro2 roots, offering an industrial-strength full duplex speakerphone, 3.2 megapixel cam, WVGA tilt-up display, and of course, that five-row QWERTY keyboard that makes banging out long emails and extended MMS tirades just a little more tolerable. Interest parties should come bearing gifts and plenty of cash, because it’ll run $349.99 on contract before a $50 mail-in rebate.
