Looking at the current crop of new Windows Mobile phone, I dare say that the  Samsung Omnia II aka Samsung Omnia 2 aka Samsug i8000 is the best around.   It has what every Windows Mobile fans want these days.   You will be stunned by its AMOLED display, high-performance graphics that allows for fast gaming and fluid video playback and a very solid construction.    You can expect the price to be much lower than any HTC phones with the same specs.    HTC or is it SIS has been overpricing the phones for too long and companies like Samsung will make them rethink their price structure in the future, I hope.

Watch the video and judge for yourself how good it is.
