According to a recent post on Microsoft Austria, users in the country will be able to enjoy the first Windows Mobile 6.5-powered mobile phone in September this year, and the device will be none other than the Samsung Omnia II. At the same time, the post also points towards A1 as the carrier to have the handset, thus also the first in the country to offer WM 6.5 on a smartphone.

However, the Omnia II is powered by an 800MHz CPU with dedicated graphics chip, which makes it one of the speediest WinMo devices.

It is also a champ at storage with up to 16GB of internal storage and support for up to 32GB microSD cards. Other than that, the phone also supports super fast 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 HSUPA plus Wi-Fi make the big touchscreen with WVGA resolution a fast portal to the Internet. The camera is no wimp either – 5MP with autofocus and D1 video recording is top of the line for Windows Mobile handsets, as well as impressive storage space up to 48GB.

GPS, DivX/XviD support out of the box, not to mention the 3D games and fancy 3D interface round of the Samsung Omnia II to be a geek’s dream. The 3.5 mm audio jack and microUSB, which was recently picked as Europe’s standard charger plug, are also greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, there is NO any information about pricing in the press release. Anyway, we respectfully envy the geeks of Austria and hope carriers in other countries will pick up the Samsung Omnia II soon.
