ok

I beg to differ mate.... First things first, the inaccurate typing has nothing to do with Omnia or the Winmo 6.5. You just need to align the screen again... it first comes on once you turn the phone on for the very first time... just realign it and it'll be fine... the calibration you talk about is for the accelerometer. Second, the screen lock settings are totally customizable.. look under power in settings... And lastly you forgot to mention the awesomeness of the AMOLED screen... the phone can actually switch off the backlight of the screen and still be completely visible in an indoors setting... try these and I'm sure you'll have a completely different opinion.

Oh yeah i also forgot to mention, the i910 has fm radio and tv out. very handy with the kids on long trips. Just load copy a movie, without having to re-encode, and hook up the rca.
So there is no reason to think that the i8000 does not.

I usually like the bartenders fast and to the point reviews.
Wow this was a lame review, but I also have to point out how old this phone is.
With all the things lacking on an Iphone, I figure you would point what it does (like the droid).
Besides for the fact that it doesn't mention that it has a 5mp auto focus flash camera, thats why it takes a little time to snap a pick. My i910 has smile detection too, so i figure this one has it in there.
And yes in pocket IE can watch inq videos with the original omnia. I have flashed to 6.5 once so i know this phone does it too. You also fail to understand that a winmo phone gives you freedom, so you can have your phone the way you want to. Just go through the settings.
I also notice you didnt mention office either. My i910 has movie editing software from arcsoft, so i know this one does too. Did you even bother to check out what navigation software is available tom, navngo, and several other providers. The Iphone doesnt do that.
There are all kinds of shells that can run on top of windows, even android.
There is an android release already available. Goes to show you how old this phone is.

But anyways, if you really want a real phone reviews.

The inq doesnt know what is what in the smartphone market.

Totaly agree with every this you say I have this phone & the sms is very very slow the camera takes about 2 seconds to take a phone making most shots indoors almost useless. But I have just release an unofficial rom onto the phone because Samsung is taking forever to release an official one & wow, the camera is mush faster & better quality, the sms is speedy & the touchscreen is dramatically improved. I just wish Silly Samsung had released an official rom updated a few months ago. I no longer trust Samsung to support any device so this will be my last Samsung Phone

The Omnia II was first announced mid last year, but there's always a huge gap between being announced and actually arriving - especially with Samsung.

When it didn't finally arrive at the end of the year, it looks like it only shipped with Windows 6.1 and it's only recently arrived with Windows 6.5 which is probably the reason for the review me thinks.

If this is a delayed review then I'm sure there's a reason for that. Maybe it's new in one market, maybe the article fell down behind the radiator last autumn. Maybe they got sued for trying to publish a negative review. It doesn't make the phone better. Maybe worse.

Having said that, something about the review text doesn't scream professionalism at me, and a bad digitiser is liable to apply to one unit, not the product as a whole. On the other hand, you'd hope that a review unit is tested to exclude such faults. On the other other hand, the review unit may pass through many hands of many reviewers. Maybe the last guy held onto it and they had to send REACT in to collect it. Does the phone have Gizmodo contacts in the address book? I assume they cleaned that guy out tech-at-home-wise.

I have this phone so:
What touch inaccuracy? I can type an SMS in seconds missing by one character at most every 5-10 letters. It's less accurate than "standard" numeric text entry on classic phones, but nowhere near what you said.
As for the other shortcomings: This is a WM 6.5 phone. As such you have access to tons of software which will provide the functionality you want.
I will admit though that out of the box, the phone does have some shortcomings.

..when this phone was released? It was released in JULY 2009. In mobile phone terms, this phone is already middle-aged. Why you're reviewing it as if it's just been released defies logic.
