The other big winners in this move are of course the people of Canada. Bell, the official carrier of the Winter Olympics, will be offering fast, reliable mobile connections to anyone traveling to Canada for the Games (as long as, of course, they can afford the roaming fees). Canadians will enjoy Bell’s offerings more easily, and it’s likely many more GSM hot phones will be available very soon.

The Omnia II will come bundled with content relevant to the Winter Olympics, so this is definitely the phone to have during the Games. There’s much to enjoy after the Games, though, what with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a very large (3.7 inches) touchscreen display, DVD quality video recording and playback, a 5-MP camera, and memory that’s expandable to up to 48 GB.

The games aren’t until February next year, but people can get the Omnia II by Christmas if they’re lucky.

In addition to the already existing variety of Omnia handsets (not including of course, the non-Windows Samsung i8910 Omnia HD – that lost the “Omnia” for fear of misunderstanding) we now have the official announcement of the Omnia II or I8000, Omnia LITE or B7300, the Omnia PRO or B7610 and last, but in no ways least, the Omnia PRO or B7330. All models will offer the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, making them “Windows Phones”, as contrasting to the older Windows Mobile handsets. News Source: www.pocket-lint.com
