Samsung Omnia II's Swype lets you text without lifting a finger

Consumer Reports News: December 11, 2009 11:27 AM

Mike Gikas demonstrates the Omnia II's Swype feature.

After seeing numerous blog posts about the new Swype feature on the new Samsung Omnia II mobile phone from Verizon, I wanted to see it in action for myself. I asked Mike Gikas, a Senior Electronics editor here at Consumer Reports and a fellow mobile phone enthusiast, what he thought about Swype. (Video after the jump.)
