Now they have gone one step further. Bell Mobility has announced a brand new mobile device, the Samsung OMNIA II, will be the Official Smart Phone of the 2010 Olympics.

The OMNIA II has a 3.7 inch touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel camera, built-in WIFI, as well as a free software application that will display real-time events as they unfold during the Olympics. It also sports an impressive collection of Java utilities. Using Java, it allows you to edit photos and videos directly from the device. It also enables access of files in Word, Excell, and PDF formats.

“Our focus for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games is on linking consumers around the world to the Games using Samsung technology in a way that`s not bee done before,” said Paul Brannen, General Manager, Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics Canada. “Samsung will connect fans through its WOW technology, mobile phones and website to enable people to share and celebrate their favourite Olympic `WOW` moments with friends and family.”

Making the OMNIA II the Official Olympic Smart Phone is a logical step for Bell. Developing a video network that fully embraces Internet Video Streaming, as well as supporting a Smart Phone with live feeds from the Olympic events will only bolster Bell’s investments in future technologies.

Smartphones are fast becoming more and more popular. Bell Mobility has recently announced they will be the carrier of the official handset of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The Samsung Omnia II smartphone will be the official device of the Canada games.

The Omnio II features a range of features. Not only will it have Windows Mobile 6.5, but it also comes fully equipped with a 3.7.-inch touchscreen, WiFi captability, and 5 megapixel camera with autofocus capabilities and dual LED flesh features. Additionally, there is a GPS component to the smartphone and a 7.2Mbps UMTS/HSPA.

“As a Premier National Partner and the Exclusive Telecommunications Partner to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Bell is excited to announce the exclusive launch of the Samsung OMNIA II touchscreen smartphone, the Official Mobile Device of the Games,” said Adel Bazerghi, Senior Vice President of Products at Bell Mobility.

The smartphone offers a lot of memory, too. Here, one can expect 16GB of internal memory which can be expanded to three times this amount with the help of a 32 GB microSDHC card.

“Breaking ground in multimedia features and performance, OMNIA II promises an unrivaled all-in-one mobile experience even the most demanding smartphone users will enjoy,” said Paul Brannen, General Manager, Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics Canada

With this decision, Bell becomes the first carrier in North America to provide an HSPA version of the touchscreen smartphone on the company’s HSPA network. Because of the group’s relationship to the Winter Olympic Games, Bell Omnia II owners will be able to download and use an app that allows them to keep track of the various events and their outcomes. Additionally, there is a decal for the Omnia II’s back.
