Windows Mobile powered Samsung Omnia II - an official cellphone of 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada
November 01, 2009 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

Canada is a fantastic country - it is "a Scandinavia of America" and amazing place to live and visit. We are happy for Canadians that they got 2010 Winter Olympics that will take place in Vancouver, Canada. Canada is a great country and they deserve these Olympics, but do they deserve Samsung Omnia II only, or maybe something better?



Well, Canadian wireless carrier "Bell Canada" is the official carrier of these 2010 Winter Olympics and Samsung Omnia II is the official cellphone of these Olympics!

Now, don't get us wrong: Samsung Omnia II is a great phone but unfortunately it has no multitouch so it is automatically losing with HTC HD2. Unfortunately Samsung engineers still have old mentality and they think that nicely formed cursor button is more important than multitouch. Phone makers should understand at last: multitouch is a must-have feature and all things happen in software on the screen and not in hardware buttons...

More information from Bell Canada follows.
