Verizon Wireless Announces the Samsung Omnia
Does it really have Wi-Fi?
Verizon's site mentioned Wi-Fi yesterday, but now has no mention of it. Samsung's site is the same way for the Verizon branded phone. Also, price went up $20 from press release. Did anyone pick up one today who can comment on the Wi-Fi availability?
yea it does have WiFi.
...
It went down on there web site. Even though it will have wi-fi it still needs a data plan to work.
...
Voice Only??
I would like to know if this phone requires you to have a data plan, since I am not very familiar with Verizon's data requirements. I would be interested in this device just on a regular phone plan, not data.
My guess is since it's a Windows Mobile phone it'll require a data plan also.

The Omnia is in Circuit City starting today!!!
Just came from Circuit City store on Rockville Pike in MD. They just put it on display this morning. Really nice. I am considering exchanging my Storm for it since my storm is nothing but bugs and I just came from a prior Win Mobile phone that I loved (Sammy i760).
The keyboard seems so much more responsive that the Storm,. I can type much faster on the omnia and with less mistakes than the storm.

gsm
hopefully a us gsm carrier will launch it so i wont have to purchase an unlocked one and spend a ton of money for this iphone destroyer.
I realize it isn't a Samsung, but you might take a look at the new LG Insight. It is a very similar phone.
What did i say?
I told everyone that the Storm started Verizons new Open Network with there Apps store.
every1 thought i was lieing...

Perhaps they thought you were lying.

Finally!
Now this is the phone to get. Finally! And it comes out earlier than PhoneArena.com originally reported it was scheduled to come out.
But as good as this phone is, it's old news.
Samsung has released a version with a much higher resolution display and digital TV, but it is being sold only in Korea.

yeah this is the phone im getting 🙂
Now hope Windows Mobile is stable enough to be used in this phone!
FireFox Mobile anyone?
Firefox mobile (Fennec) works on Windows Mobile based devices. I bet it would be awesome on this phone. Fennec scored higher then Safari on a page rendering test reported on PhoneArena a while ago, so it should be a very nice phone/browser
