Bell announced today that it will be the exclusive Canadian carrier for the Samsung OMNIA II. It has also designated the handset as “the Official Mobile Device of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.”
OMNIA II buyers will also be able to download Samsung’s Wireless Olympic Works (WOW) communications platform, a comprehensive free application designed to provide real-time information to users’ phones and to keep fans connected during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

It will come with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band HSPA connectivity, a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, 16GB of internal storage, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, a 5MP camera with auto-focus and dual LED flash, a microSDHC card slot (support cards up to 32GB), and a 1500mAh battery.
