After launching its Symbian based Omnia HD in India , Samsung has launched the Omnia II in India. Though it is called Omnia II-GT I8000 it is the little brother of Omnia HD in terms of specs and also the price. Omnia HD is priced at INR 32K where as Omnia II is priced around INR 28K in India. Latest technology and easy to use messaging platform are two things, which Samsung Omnia II boasts of. Unlike Omnia HD, its runs Windows Mobile 6.1, which can be a turn-off for people who do not like WinMo as an Operating System.

A couple of University of Waterloo students have put together a company called Allerta which will be making a cool little smartphone accessory that will keep you apprised of e-mail, SMS, and call alerts via Bluetooth while masquerading as a normal watch. I was a little dubious about these concept renderings of the product (they look like something even I could cook up in Pov-Ray ), but after seeing this picture from a year ago posted in the comments, outlining some of the features and use cases, inPulse started to look a lot more real. Considering the university is right next door to RIM, it’s no surprise that the inPulse will work with BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ), but hopefully it will work other smartphones as advertised back in 2008; Android and Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) (Symbian) phones were explicitly mentioned. After a quick call, I was told more information would be made available this week, so stay tuned. P.S.: Shoutout to Ronen for spotting the Flickr link

If any of you are waiting for the next Nseries device with xenon flash – I’m 99% sure it ain’t gonna happen this year – or even early next year. Personally I’m not expecting a REAL upgrade to the N82 at all. If any of you are waiting for the Nokia’s current imaging flagship – the N86 – to drop in price then now is a good time to price around. Amazon.com is selling the N86 for $399.99 , although I’m not sure how long the deal will last

There’s a special edition of the Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) N97 mini, which looks even more like the Samsung Giorgio Armani Windows Mobile 6.5 phone . It’s the RAOUL-branded device and it’s available in just 1000 units in Singapore. The price is S$1138 (about $815) and that money buys you the brown-ish N97 mini emblazoned with RAOUL’s signature stripes on an additional backcover and accessorised with a calf-skin leather pouch and matching leather dangler. Plus, the phone ships with the Fashion Asia widget pre-installed, and it also comes encased in leather-wrapped RAOUL box. In addition, if you order by October 29th, you’ll also get a S$50 Nokia and S$50 RAOUL vouchers… Additional details are available from Nokia Singapore’s website from where you can also push the button, if you desire so

Following on recently available pre-orders, the fabled Sony Ericsson Idou has just landed on British shores as the Sony Ericsson ( NYSE: SNE ) Satio! The touchscreen Sony Ericsson Satio is the Swedish-Japanese phone maker’s first Symbian S60 5th Edition smartphone and it oozes high-end sex appeal. We had a chance to put hands-on the Satio back when it was known as the Sony Ericsson Idou , and it’s one helluva device – especially since it runs the so-old-it-hurts Sybmain platform. Vodafone ( NYSE: VOD ) UK is the only carrier to offer the Sony Ericsson Satio at the moment, but Orange has the Satio tagged as “coming soon.” Underneath that high-resolution 3.5-inch touchscreen lies all the high-end smartphone bits that we’d expect to see from a 12.1-megapixel cameraphone monster – DNLA-compatible WiFi, GPS, and 3G data. The glossy-black finish highlights the 12.1-megapixel camera (with Xenon flash) while the 3.5-inch touchscreen plays video with aplomb.

Okay, that was an exaggeration. But really, the first statement that caught my eyes as they rolled over the specs for this iPhone charger called iPa was the line “Super Capacity – 3000mAh, make your iPhone as a whole day parter.” Though it took me a long while to recover from the initial blow that the name delivered (who would think of calling it “iPa”?!), it took me even longer to understand the above ………

Nokia finally admits that the lens cover on the Nokia N97 have been mounted to close to the lens glass which makes it it easy to scratch the lens on the Nokia N97. If you are one of those “few” that have this problem, try the following tip: If you’re an N97 user and you’ve noticed the image quality on your device is affected by this, then this is what you should do: 1: Take a soft cloth and clean the lens. 2: If that doesn’t work, get in touch with your nearest Nokia Care Point where the Nokia Care Point staff can then determine whether or not the lens and or the lens cover mechanism needs replacing under the device warranty
