It has been announced by Verizon Wireless that the Samsung Omnia II will be available for the Christmas shopping season.
Features include:
Currently it is running a 2 year contract at $199.99.
The other day we profiled Swype here on Crenk, letting you know that it would be preloaded on the Samsung Omnia II. Now, I discovered that the popular video streaming service Qik will have an app that will come as standard on the second incarnation of Samsung’s Omnia smart phone.
Until recently, Ustream was the go-to service for streaming video. Celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher use it to broadcast live to their fans. By making this app standard on the phone, allowing people to easily stream video onto the web or other people’s phone, the balance may shift.
I think this is a good idea – and an addition that will improve the overall appeal of the phone.
The only other phones with Qik pre-loaded is the Nokia S-60 based phones. If the Omnia II is anywhere near as popular as the first version, Qik could be seeing some serious user numbers heading their way.
