The Omnia 2 i8000 smashes the other devices that we compared in the benchmark, thanks to the 800MHz CPU and well-optimized hardware. Daily operation (program responsiveness, going from screen to screen, etc) does indeed feel fast.
BATTERY
The battery on the Omnia II is 1500mAh. I think it's safe to say that the AMOLED screen is a huge power saver. Even with the CPU turned to "high" the entire time, the battery life on the Omnia was excellent. With moderate use of the device, including several GPS sessions, a good amount of internet browsing, a handful of calls, and even a few video-watching sessions, you'll get a full two days of life from the Omnia. With heavy use, expect a day or a day and a half, and with light usage, you'll go for three or four days. If you're brave and can go without the backlighting, you'll get an extra 20-40% boost in battery life. Without backlighting, you can still see the screen fine indoors, but not outdoors.
BUGS AND WISHES
There are a few major issues with the Omnia II, chief of which is the poor outdoor screen visibility. When you take the Omnia II outdoors, the screen appears to have a milky coating on it, cutting down on the contrast dramatically. Perhaps this is an issue plaguing AMOLED screens in general, or perhaps it's a flaw with just the screen on the Omnia II. Speaking of the screen, while the device has a light sensor to regulate screen brightness, it doesn't work too well. The polling frequency is far too high, and thus there are times when the screen brightness rapidly changes.
The widget interface has been much improved thanks to the nearly endless supply of available widgets. That said, the power user is likely to disable this 20MB-of-RAM-using-hog to get some performance back. The widget interface feels clunky and slow, which is too bad for a device that is normally quite snappy and responsive. Also,
Samsung ought to find a way to hide the top and bottom bars in Windows Mobile as to provide the maximum amount of screen space for the gadgets possible. It's easy to quickly fill up the available space. Thankfully, there are three widget screens you can use.
While the shiny black coating on the Omnia II makes it look sexy, it's also not practical. It's slippery to hold, plus requires frequent cleaning because of fingerprints.
The original Omnia had a terrific camera, almost as good as some standard digital cameras out there. Sadly, the camera on the Omnia II isn't too great both for photos and videos. It low light conditions you get a low of noise, and also the colors reproduction is dull, especially in videos. That's too bad.
