After Samsung announced its new Samsung Omnia II touch screen smartphone back in July, Verizon has now begun selling it just in time for the Christmas holiday season. Samsung Omnia II is the 2nd Windows Mobile 6.5 OS device for Verizon after the HTC Imagio. The Omnia II features a large 3.7-inch AMOLED display with WVGA resolution, TouchWiz 2.0 UI and 3D effects.

It also features a 5 megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory expandable via microSD plus standard features like Wi-Fi 3G on Verizon’s EV-DO network, stereo Bluetooth, access to social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Verizon will also be loading the device with its proprietary apps for mobile music, video, navigation, ringtones, and other services.

Verizon is offering the Samsung Omnia II for a $200 price tag after rebates and a new two-year contract.
