Samsung Omnia II and the case of the musical guided tour

Samsung's Omnia II and its gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED screen is still without a Verizon release date, but don't let that stop you from enjoying Italian site HDBlog's ten-minute guided tour of the device. Hard to tell exactly how crisp is from the footage, and we also couldn't help but note a good bit of interface lag, especially when using the new cube menu. We're hopeful that'll get remedied before launch, and all in all, it's looking good, and the hardware definitely has some style. Grab some popcorn, video is after the break.

It's very important to keep the Carabinieri on speed dial, especially if you live in Palermo or Sicily.

As much as i can see from this video it's very very slow, especially when you move around screens.

I was looking into getting this phone when my contract is up, but this looks dog slow. Everything reacts a sec or so after you do it? No thanks, guess I'll have to get a dumb crackberry or something because Verizon doesn't offer a lot in a true "smart phone," web device, etc.

When watching the video, all I could think of is "Itsa me Mario!"

Beautiful screeen, btw!

How come Samsung is the only brand offering OLED screens? They are so much brighter and use less energy, they dont even cost so much anymore, they even include them in the mid-range prices (I'm waiting for my samsung jet this week).

Where's the release date. Phonearena.com is pointing to July, but shouldn't we have a release date by now then?

I'm sure he's being sarcastic...even fanboys will admit Apple didn't invent or revolutionise copy & paste, MMS, no stylus (IMO this just proves he's kidding), and compass.

So this is not the one with the hardware keyboard.

Would have been great if it was fast and smooth.
