Now Sprint announced the launch of the new Samsung Intrepid (aka Samsung Ace II, Samsung SPH-I350), a bar-type QWERTY mobile phone running the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional.

I am a existing Omnia (910) user on Verizon who was extremely disappointed with Windows Mobile 6.1 and Samsung’s shell. Wound up buying SPB Mobile Shell to acquire a usable interface and had to abandon Exchange electronic mail because of protection restrictions. Fundamentally anytime you tried to location or acquire a call, you had to enter your PIN and I was missing calls as being a outcome. Lastly determined to abandon smartphones for that time getting (economic explanations) and wait for a good Android unit. The Galaxy S (Facinate) really should fit the bill. Disappointed to hear from the GPS concerns. Let me add that Verizon’s 3G assistance was superb through and I sooner or later stopped using WiFi simply because V3G was plenty rapidly enough for me.Interestingly, I’m using the Omnia to be a wireless product all-around the home for checking e mail, Twitter, Facebook and easy browsing. But not being a telephone!
