Samsung Omnia W (model GT-I8350T) with support for WCDMA and HSPA over the 850MHz spectrum has been caught while getting FCC’s seal of approval. If there were no for the Samsung Focus Flash, we would tell you this baby is heading to AT&T. However, we can’t do that given the similarities between the two devices — i.e. they are pretty much identical. Hence, our next bet has something to do with Canada, where we think Bell or Rogers could pick this one up and offer it to their customers. Needless to say, we have nothing confirmed on this front, but it’s kinda safe to bet every major carrier will want to take part in Microsoft’s mobile game and have a Windows Phone device in its portfolio. We’ll definitely keep following this story and let you know as soon as we hear something new. In the meantime, you are free to check out FCC’s Omnia W listing from here.
