Samsung has released a new Omnia handset!

A successor to the highly successful Omnia, the Omnia II is one of the most anticipated handset to be launched this year.

Featuring bleedy edge technology like an Ultra Brilliant AMOLED display, the Samsung Omnia II promises exceptional vividness and resolution even in direct sunlight!

Having second thoughts about touch screen handsets due to their unfriendly interface? Fear not, the new Omnia II has a Touch optimised user interface that will allow you experience a seamless user interface that you surpass even your highest expectations.

Also included in the beatiful package of a handset is a 5 megapixel camera to allow you to capture those precious moments without carrying an extra camera. More space in your handbags ladies!

With cheap data rates now in Singapore, being online from your mobile phone is now the “in” thing. Don’t be left behind the times! The Omnia II offers fast internet access, allowing you to be on Facebook and Twitter away from your computer.

Have you ever felt lost walking in the middle of town? I have. Luckily I had a phone with me. The Omnia II includes GPS to help you navigate around the ever changing landscape of Singapore, be it along the Singapore River, or up north in the bustling town of Woodlands.

The Omnia II also offers a complete Microsoft Office Mobile suite, for you to work on the go. You can now view and edit those documents while on the cab to a meeting. With push email, you will never miss something important again.

This was when I rediscovered the difference between acceptable and great.

For the record, I’m using Bose speakers which has done a great job outputting music from the crappier onboard solution. But the addition of a Creative soundcard really made my day when it came to the quality of audio output from songs and movies. Technologies and dedicated processing to use and improve the inherent audio quality is what distingushes a soundchip that just plays, and a soundchip that outplays. Crystal clear treble and deep bass when coupled with a good set of speakers will no doubt bring your music to life and increase the enjoyment many folds. All for a cheap investment of less than S$100, depending on your preference. Just a good midrange one will do, I recommend Creative Xi-Fi solutions.

Well oh well. Looks like this was sure to happen soon. She “could not work in front of a computer as she needed to lie in the dark”, and ended up being caught on Facebook by her employer. FACE THE SACK.

ZURICH (Reuters) – A Swiss insurance worker lost her job after surfing popular social network site Facebook while off sick, her employer said on Friday.

The woman said she could not work in front of a computer as she needed to lie in the dark but was then seen to be active on Facebook, which insurer Nationale Suisse said in a statement had destroyed its trust in the employee.

“This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract,” it said.

The unnamed woman told the 20 Minuten daily she had been surfing Facebook in bed on her iPhone and accused her employer of spying on her and other employees by sending a mysterious friend request which allows access to personal online activity.

Nationale Suisse rejected the accusation of spying and said the employee’s Facebook activity had been stumbled across by a colleague in November, before use of the social network site was blocked in the company.
