Samsung Omnia II UK release date

Okay, so it's confirmed, the Samsung Omnia II mobile phone will be rolling out this August--but not in the UK. The countries that will see the launch of the Omnia II in August are Philippines, Thailand, Netherlands, Turkey, UAE, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Nigeria, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Chile, Columbia, and Australia.

So how about the UK, Germany, and the rest of the countries which are eagerly awaiting the Omnia II phone? Well, it looks like we'll see a September release date, at the latest. Why so late? Maybe because Samsung wants it to coincide with the release of Windows Mobile 6.5. So if Microsoft screws up their Windows Phone release, we probably should expect the Samsung Omnia II later.

But that's okay, I'd rather see the Samsung Omnia II running Windows Mobile 6.5 since I didn't like the TouchWiz 2.0 interface that much on the Samsung Omnia II that I've reviewed. Check out my Samsung Omnia II review and decide for yourself whether you want to import one now or wait until September when it's running Windows Phone.
