Review Summary	Despite the new Windows Mobile 5.0 OS and integrated keyboard, the 838 is marred by its sluggish performance which leaves much to ask for.	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.
