Samsung WiTu

Samsung will be selling its flagship iPhone-killin’ device i900 Omnia in Russia as the Samsung WiTu. Aside from the name, specs wise the device remain the same, except the fact that the 8GB version of the device won’t be available — Russians will be able to grab the 16GB model, only. In addition, the Samsung WiTu will include widgets for quick access to Russian popular sites – Championat, Gistemeteo, Odnoklassniki.Ru, Yandeks.Probki, RBC-News, Afisha; and will also come pre-loaded with Anglo-Russian and Russian-English dictionaries ABBYY Lingvo.

Finally, to promote the new smartphone, Samsung is running a promotion from September 1st to November 30th giving WiTu buyer free access to the Internet from the Golden WiFi…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Very interesting description of the Samsung i900 Omnia that is renamed WiTu (!!?) to be sold in Russia. Apparently, its price will be 2’000 RUR (8 percent)lower than HTC Diamond and it would be rather good news. What is unclear in the review is whether one can operate the new Samsung WiTu in English, or is it (again) a device that works in Russian only.
