Are you ready to buy your Samsung Omnia II? Unfortunately we can’t tell you when the smartphone will be available but we do have some screenshots to tease you with. The screens below will show you that new TouchWiz 2.0 does work on top of Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro. And these pictures sure do look real so we assume that Samsung is going to launch the hot smartphone soon.

Samsung has today released the full list of countries that will be getting the Omnia II at some point this month including France, the UK, Germany and Australia. However, the United States failed to make the cut, what gives?

Considering the device was slated for an August 23rd Best Buy release a few days ago we can only point towards some sort of problematic delay as the cause.

American consumers who have been tracking the Omnia II’s every move will be happy to hear that the handset has recently made its way through the FCC.

The Omnia II is a Windows Mobile powered handset that features a touchscreen 3.7-inch AMOLED display, an 800MHz processor, 5MP camera with 720 x 480 video recording and a 7.2Mbps HSPA.

We’re not positive when it will actually be made available for purchase but considering the FCC model is specced for AT&T, I think it’s safe to say we’ll see the phone on said carrier soon enough.

Jeeze, Samsung is really on a roll today, first the Jet then the Omnia II and now the Omnia LITE. This handset is obviously a lesser version of Samsung’s other recently announced (hence the LITE branding) but it still packs a punch nonetheless.

The Omnia LITE features a touchscreen (no word on specs), a 3MP camera, Windows Mobile, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, an Opera web browser and Samsung’s TouchWiz 2.0 UI.

As you can see Samsung didn’t release many details regarding the LITE, presumably letting the Jet and Omnia II take the spotlight, but we will keep you updated as the story unfolds.

If you were bummed about the Samsung Jet’s US availability you have no worries because the almost identical looking Omnia II (pictured above) was just announced. This handset will be the successor to the Omnia and will feature specs identical to what was leaked earlier this month.

Samsung’s Omnia II will feature a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen with resistive touch, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with Samsung’s TouchWiz 2.0 UI, the ability to playback and record 480p video, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, Wi-Fi and up to 48GB of storage.

Now considering Samsung’s original Omnia was on Verizon I think it’s safe to assume the Omnia II will also make its way to the carrier at some point in the near future.

The Pre and the iPhone 3GS are out in the open and in about 10 days they will be selling together. I guess everyone else in the business is considering ideas to try to fight against these two hot phones. That’s why Samsung someone probably leaked the GT-I8000 or the Omnia II to the public. The phone will offer a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, an 8.1 megapixel camera with dual-LEDs and VGA video recording, a 1500mAh battery, HSDPA connectivity, Windows Mobile (dare we say 6.5?) and a custom UI similar to the one on the S8000. With arrival dates and prices still hidden for the public eye will the Omnia 2 sell as good as the Pre or the iPhone 3GS? Will anyone wait for this baby to be officially launched? And just for the record, this is another Samsung phone dubbed as the Omnia 2 and we hope this time it’s the real thing!
