Samsung
Omnia 2 (2GB)

After the HTC Diamond, I upgraded to the Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000), I had wanted the HTC HD2, but it was sold out everywhere
This was a great little phone, with a AMOLED screen and a fantastic camera.

It was available with a 2, 8 or 16 GB's of internal flash memory, this is the 2GB version.
It originally ran Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, but could be upgraded to 6.5, then 6.5.3. It did have a Samsung developed user interface and certain applications, but they could be turned off to use the standard Pocket PC today screen and Windows Mobile apps, doing this made the phone run much faster

Hardware wise it had a 480x800 resistive AMOLED screen, a 800MHz CPU with graphics handled by a GPU, 256MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM for the OS, and an internal flash drive of either 2, 8, or 16 GB for user data. And it had a MicroSD card slot for further storage memory

It had a 5 mega pixel rear camera with dual LED flash, but no front camera

The phone supported 3G, Bluetooth, Wifi, A-GPS (although it wasn't very good), and Micro USB for charging and data transfer



It was larger than my previous HTC Diamond



Volume up and down, on/standby button, and the multifunction camera button are on the sides
The camera button was a 2 stage button for focusing before taking the picture, and there was an additional button just above it which was a back button



The face of the phone includes a home, phone, and hangup buttons, the hangup button was also the power button, rather than the button on the side which was used for turning on and off the screen, it also had MicroUSB and a 3.5mm headphone socket which could be used as a composite TV out port
It did have a plastic cover for the MicroUSB port, but it fell off leaving the rubber behind



Here is the back of the phone, you can see the SIM card and MicroSD card slots



Standard Windows Mobile 6.5 lock screen



Standard Windows Mobile 6.5 Start menu



The games folder, with the standard Solitaire and Bubble Breaker games



The Omnia 2 also included a poor dice rolling game



And a port of Crayon Physics, which was ok




Also it had a driving game called Asphalt 4, which used the phones accelerometer to control the car, which worked well



Here you can see the Samsung UI, this could be turned off and the standard Windows Mobile versions used instead



This is a compass and flashlight app along with the GPSMod Driver app to make the GPS "sort of" work



The about screen, the expansion slot is the MicroSD card slot



Demonstrating the camera by looking at my Asus P550 through the viewfinder



And finally a size comparison with my Huawei P Smart, which is a similar size to my Galaxy S9
