Samsung Omnia Soon on AT&T and Verizon

September 7, 2008 in AT&T, Handsets, Samsung, Verizon

The mighty Samsung Omnia was once feared (by Americans) to only be hitting foreign shores due to the i900’s UMTS 2100MHz only support. While Samsung has been rumored supposedly promised a US-destined version that will support the 850/1900Mhz bands required there. Now, with FCC documentation supporting the claims, it appears the Samsung Omnia will not only reach AT&T but also Verizon Wireless!

FCC Documentation outed AT&T’s Samsung Omnia as model number i907 with HSDPA connectivity, making AT&T the obvious suitor. That same document talks about the i910, another Samsung Omnia variant that will have CDMA support. You guessed it - that is the one hitting Verizon Wireless.

As a refresher, the Samsung Omnia is a 5-megapixel multimedia powerhouse that comes with Bluetooth and WiFi, Windows Mobile 6.1 and a ton of media editing options. Given it’s huge potential, we’re welcoming a speedy arrival to American shores.

We’ll keep you posted as official announcements will likely come soon!
