The improved Samsung Omnia isn’t a Japanese thing any more. The Korean electronics giant is bringing the same device to the home market under the name “T*Omnia.”
As with the Japanese version, this Omnia will also come with a better 3.3-inch WVGA (480×800 pixels) touchscreen and a mobile TV receiver. However, for the Korean market it’s satellite DMB rather than one-seg receiver that is used in Japan.
Korean SK Telecom will be selling device in two flavors: SCH-M490 with 4GB and SCH-M495 with 16GB of internal memory.
Rest of the specs are unchanged and include 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and image stabilizer, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, and Bluetooth support. Windows Mobile 6.1 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI is running the show.
Now Samsung if you could bring this baby to Europe and North America, we would love you. Forget mobile TV, we don’t need that at the moment, or at least prepare two Omnias: one with and the other one without mobile TV receiver. That would work!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. 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.
