OMNIA | |
The Samsung OMNIA SCH-i910 looks exactly as the GSM version, with the Widgets on the homescreen and optical mouse between the send and end keys. From the few listed specs it seems to be the same when it comes to features, too. Instead of GSM it is a CDMA/EV-DO phone but also runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS and features 5-megapixel camera, 8GB internal memory plus microSD slot, 128MB RAM and GPS (for VZ Navigator). As there is a main menu button on the bottom of the home screen we guess that the Verizon OMNIA will have the same personalized interface as the original.
If you are keen on Windows Mobile but don’t like the OMNIA, don’t worry, Verizon Wireless will spread some HTC magic as well. The CDMA version of the Touch Pro appears as the PCD Raphael C XV6850. We guess that stands for Raphael CDMA (Raphael is the internal name of the Pro) and the carrier will call it Verizon Wireless XV6850, the successor of the XV6800. Features include EV-DO Rev. A support, Windows Mobile 6.1, 3.2MP camera, Wi-Fi, microSD slot and VZ Navigator. We hope we’ll see the TouchFlo 3D interface as well, although it is not shown on the picture.
The third new Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional smartphone is the Samsung Saga SCH-i770. This is the VZW variant of the Epix and will replace the i760 as a CDMA/GSM hybrid (it is quad-band GSM for global roaming). Saga features EV-DO Rev. A, WI-Fi, Bluetooth, microSD and 2MP camera.

I think I'm going to be torn between the Storm and Omnia. From the pictures and specs, I'm loving the Storm so far but Verizon's plans for Blackberry aren't cheap. The Omnia is also looking pretty good too...

it WILL have TouchFlo interface, you will have to activate the feature, i recently had a meeting with an HTC rep and she confirmed that information.

Really, you're laughing your ass off? That's crazy to me. There's nothing remotely clever about that or funny...wow.

November 17 is the release? I thought it was the 21st. I am dying for it to become available. I am a little torn between the Saga (it isn't attractive, but I love the Epix....I almost switched networks for the Blackjack II...only because I liked how customizable it was right out of the box, and not after 3rd party applications). Let me know if it really is coming out on the 17th. That will make my day! You can write to me at anna.opal1203@comcast.net. Thanks...

oh...sorry. I just noticed the date of your post. I am assuming that the 21st, which is posted all over the place, is correct.

Amazing - Verizon goes from no good smart phones to 3 of the best (Storm, Omnia, and Touch Pro) in one month. Now I got to decide which one to get!

Are we really supposed to get all excited for these yet. For all we know, couldn't this memo be from 3 months ago and things have since been significantly delayed? It wouldn't surprise me if the Onmia, Touch Pro and i770 all weren't available in November.

I must be dreaming and if so i do not wanna wake up! Verizon is really stepping up to the plate with this line up. Having the best network in the states and now with the best phones out, plus the storm still to come, who can resist not being part of the big red family? It's a no brainer!!!

Well, I can get better smartphones (Fuze a.k.a. Touch Pro, iPhone 3G, or nearly any unlocked GSM/UMTS/W-CDMA smartphone) from AT&T or get either the Diamond, Touch Pro, or 2009 Google Android phone from Sprint with cheaper plans, with slightly better coverage in my area vs. Verizon. I could also go with T-Mobile for their new upcoming Samsung touchscreen device, G1, or any unlocked quad-band GSM smartphone for much cheaper than VZW (and T-Mobile in my area matches Sprint and Verizon for coverage). Those are the reasons why I can resist the Big Red family, by not being a mindless drone and realizing the offerings and coverage of all carriers around me.

Are you freaking kidding me!? You named all these cool smart phones from other companies, but honestly what's a good phone with out the network? Don't try to make it look like t-mobile, sprint or even worse at&t can even come close to the best network in VERIZON. The BIG RED baby is the answer! ;)

except when you travel anywhere and that sprint coverage goes to crap... and att coverage as far as that high speed stuff goes, because god know you want a smartphone thats faster than dial up, absolutely sucks!! T-mobile from what i know from friends isnt a horrible company but they are limited due to availability of high speed(3g)... they just got in the game kind of late but they seem to take care of their customers.... I have had sprint service and my best friend/roommate had att until about six months ago... Your reference to being a mindless drone is just insane jealously... it angers you that so many people like verizon and it is simply because verizon has great customer service and coverage.. if their is a problem they take care of it.. everytime so yes many of us are loyal
