Everyone wants a piece of the Chinese mobile market and Samsung is not an exception. They’ve prepared a version of the Omnia II device marked as i8180, specially customized for the consumers in the “world’s fastest growing economy.”
And by special version we mean WAPI (China’s flavor of WiFi), TD-SCDMA radio (instead of HSPA/EV-DO) and CMMB (China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting) support. Rest of the specs are pretty much the same as far as I’ve understood, meaning that the glorious 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen stays on board, which is cool.
Exact release date is unknown at the moment and the same goes for pricing…

Dusan Belic
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.
