White Samsung Omnia… The oPhone

August 12, 2008 in AT&T, Handsets, Samsung, Sprint

The Samsung Omnia is, at the moment, only available in Singapore. A few MobileRoar forum members have been discussing the potential of the phone coming to the United States and trust us… you should start praying it does.

Not only does it feature set and specs blow mostly everything else completely out of the water… but its got the looks to boot. And, with the release of the White Samsung Omnia it looks a lot like another device we know:

It looks so much like the iPhone that it should be called the oPhone. And no, not oPhone has in OmniaPhone copying the iPhone. We mean oPhone as in when you see it you’ll make your O face (*cough* Office Space *cough*). If it weren’t for the iPhone App Store it wouldn’t even be a question of preference.

The problem is that because of the specs on this bad boy, AT&T would make the most sense. AT&T has the iPhone locked up in the states through 2009. So will they release a phone that cannabolizes iPhone sales? We hope so. Unless they have some sort of allegiance and/or contract to/with Apple.

So let me get this straight: you can’t chew bubble gum in Sinagpore but its the only place in the world where you can easily purchase/use a Samsung Omnia? Hmmm…

UPDATE: TheUnwired is now reporting that the Samsung Omnia i900 is now getting its first ROM updates which, we unhappily don’t need because we can’t buy the Omnia in the first place! Those that can, and have it, we would appreciate your input!
