omnia Samsung Omnia goes Verizon
Samsung’s Omnia has just been announced by Verizon – their press release claims that the device will be available all over the US on the 8th:

Just in time for the holidays, the Samsung Omnia™ will be available for order online at www.verizonwireless.com and in business sales channels beginning Nov. 26. The Samsung Omnia’s advanced touch screen, customizable user interface and Windows Mobile 6.1 capabilities are powered by the nation’s most reliable wireless network ensuring that customers can browse the Web and access their e-mails quickly and reliably. It will be available through all sales channels including Verizon Wireless Communications Stores on Dec. 8.

Pricing-wise, the box will go for 250$ after a mail-in rebate:

Verizon Wireless has priced the Samsung Omnia for $249.99 after a $70 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement. Customers will receive the rebate in the form of a debit card; upon receipt, customers may use the card as cash anywhere debit cards are accepted.

Talking about specs: this is the European version of the Omnia, and not the Korean T|Omnia. This means that you have to get by with a 400×240 screen…which is not exactly impressive by today’s standards.

The device hasn’t hit Verizon’s web site yet…

P.S. Use the zip code 60001 to get past Verizon’s ZIP barrier
