The bad: Plastic surface is very prone to smudges; external stylus can be annoying; threaded SMS unavailable; certain parts of custom UI can be slow at times.
The bottom line: Though some may shun Windows Mobile because of other newer operating systems out there, there's no denying that the Omnia II presents great value-for-money compared with most other touchscreen smartphones.

Window 6.5 First Day
Nov 17, 2009Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Battery performance is better
Cons: SMS thread wording too small and Email list font to large
Opinion:
After lots of complaint about my battery life, finally it comes the resolution. I turn on IM all the time and mail polling hourly. With Windows mobile 6.1 only lasted 4 hours but now it has been 24hours since, even with 1 hour of GPS on.
SMS threading that everyone missed from Omnia I is now in but not sure why the font is so small. Clicking into eMail list, the font is so huge that yo can hardly figure out who send you the eMail unless to tilt. Nevertheless the tilting in this case work seemlessly.
One bug thou. IM when after prolong run, when trying to type, the keypad goes off after every character and the icon to activate input style will also disappear for 5 seconds.
As of now, the upgrade is still worth while, at least my battery is now running longer.
Good performance device

Pros: Connectivity, screen brightness, hot plugable SD and speaker.
Cons: Battery drain off fast
Opinion:
I don't really concern about threaded sms because it slows down the device.
Bluetooth connect to my Plantronics headset is instance, WIFI connecting is fast, GPRS connect is slow on Singtel network. I normally have BT and GPRS permanently on, with about 60 mins calls plus reading ebooks for 2 hours the battery flat within 10 hours.
When browsing maps from Mightly Mind DigiMap 7, the graphic accelerator can't display well. I have not try to set performance to HIGH perhaps it helps to display maps without empty rectangular patch.
A minor tweak need to be done in order to get the speaker sound loud enough for outdoor.
