Bell Mobility made news when they were announced as a major sponsor of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. They have made nontrivial progress in developing and upgrading their wireless networks to be able to handle enormous video streaming demands.

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.
