Samsung Omnia coming to AT&T in Q3?

Far be it for AT&T (NYSE: T) to sully their competitive reputation by keeping the iPhone-competing Samsung Omnia from hitting their networks. Word on the street has it that the sleekness from South Korea will be making it’s way to AT&T in the third quarter of 2008 – bringing with it Samsung’s expertise in packing massive features in to ever-slimmer profiles. At just 12.5mm thick, the Samsung Omnia is a pretty face.
With a 3.2-inch touchscreen, Divx certification (with H.263, H.264 support), 5 megapixel camera with face-detection and geo-tagging, quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) radio, HSDPA (7.2Mbps), GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, and FM radio (with RDS), the Samsung Omnia is a fit and well-finished iPhone fighter. And, considering that the Touch Wiz UI-toting touchscreen handset is offered in both 8GB and 16GB variants, there’s more than just a little similarity between the iPhone and Samsung Omnia.
AT&T will most likely be fitting the Samsung Omnia with their AT&T Music, Video, Navigation, and Mobile TV service, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional will be running the show.
We’re looking for AT&T to pick up the Omnia in a couple months, so stay tuned!

Now this is going to be dammnnnnn se>
Now this is going to be dammnnnnn sec’cy
I love my iphone but I hate it for so many reasons as well. For one I can’t go to sites my http://www.ringaholic.com and just download their ringtones on my phone. While with my Nokia I can. I mean iphone sucks that the ringtones cost 2 bucks a piece and sites like Ringaholic are giving them away for free. Anyone can download them … well the work around for iPhone users is that they have to download the free ringtones from Ringaholi.com and the using iTunes convert it into AAC and then change the file extension to m4r and sync it to our iPHones. Well its not that hard but I hope the Omnia won’t be too restrictive like iPHone
Omfg Free Ringtunes, go to hell, no one wants your stupid ringtunes
lol, Zak. Don’t you just “love” it when people post stupid little “ads” in with their comments?
Okay, I just bought this phone.. I LOVE IT!
I gave my iPhone to my sister lol.
It has everything that I was hoping for but the screen quality is not as good as the iPhone but I can certainly live with that.
The feedback I receive from the Touch UI is just as amazing as the iPhone!! I got the 16GB version and I also have an 8GB memory card in it..
Worth the money.
Scottie how much did you u spend on this???from where did you buy it????
I paid 800 dollars for it in Canada.. I got it from this mall called Pacific mall.. they have alot of phones from Asia and Europe.. Once i seen this phone i grabbed it! Obviously cant use 3G but i can still use Fido’s EDGE service and I just love to use the web on this phone.. The camera is just as good as my N95’s
