The wait is almost over for Verizon’s Samsung Omnia II. It may no longer be the first to launch in North America (that distinct honor now belongs to Bell), but we can finally say with some confidence that Verizon’s version of the Samsung Omnia II isn’t that far off. No, seriously: we’ve managed to get a peek at the carrier’s launch pack for the phone, and the big details here are that it’ll be launching in all channels (meaning telesales, online, and in-store) on December 2 for $199.99 on contract after a $100 mail-in rebate. That pricing puts it solidly in the upper echelon of Verizon’s offerings these days, yes — but when you consider that it’s got a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 8GB of internal storage plus microSD expansion, 5 megapixel cam, and WinMo 6.5 Professional (allaying earlier concerns that 6.1 would be on shipping units), we think they can justify the outlay. Especially if you can resist the pull of a Droid Eris for a Benjamin cheaper once you set foot in the store, of course.

So what we got here are a series of screenshot pictures of the long-awaited Samsung Omnia 2. For all of you U.S. who are still waiting for the device, well, lets wait for the official word from Samsung while enjoying these screenshot made my our folks from ai.rs blog.

What makes these screenshots interesting is the fact that Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro is combined with the TouchWiz 2.0… well, the result? pretty good, in my opinion. Check out more screenshots after the break

It seems that Samsung will enter the mobile app world. This can be seen thru its TouchWiz User Interface that will be available to the developers. This chance, Samsung will work with Google, Yahoo as well as AccuWeather for offering TouchWiz Widgets or rich connected mobile apps to the customers.
So later, we well see the new apps for TouchWiz phones of Samsung come from the developers. The developer will get access to code samples, device emulation, FAQ’s and content for sale submission easily via storefront of Samsung Rich Connected Application.
