Italy is the first European country to get Samsung OMNIA
Samsung announced that starting July 22, OMNIA will launch on the Italian market. This is the first European country to get the all-in-one multimedia-friendly smartphone, but others will follow and it will be available through major carriers as well as in open markets before the end of August.

Italians now can already pre-order the OMNIA, taking advantage of a promotion, giving them a free Xbox 360 Arcade. The unsubsidized 8GB variant will cost 499 EUR ($793), which is a pretty good price for a high-end phone, and a bargain for the same phone AND a console. Prices in other countries will vary.

See now, here we have a smart company (unlike Apple and Rogers) Samsung has been able to provide one of the 1st ever ALL in ONE Multimedia phones for a reasonable price...and it doesn't stop there they gladly hook you up with the Xbox Arcade (I'm guessing its an App.) and if its anything like the real Xbox Arcade that means you would be able to download incredible amounts of old, new, and classic arcade games. That being said I hope it comes to the states soon but we all know how slow that usually is. The only good thing about that is that we would probably get a much improved one with maybe one or two Software upgrades. :) *I've been wanting All in One Device since my 1st Candy Bar Nokia phone back in 2000

Coming state-side? hopefully a CDMA version?

Any sign that this phone will come to the U.S soon? Will it work in the U.S market if I buy it from Europe?

It will be the real Xbox 360, so you'll need a TV :)

So a company selling a phone for $800 is smarter then Apple?!?!?!? I have a hard time understanding your logic...

6. (unregistered) posted on 16 Jul 2008, 09:38

do u know what quad band phone is? yes it will work. no CDMA version for now

7. (unregistered) posted on 16 Jul 2008, 09:40

yes becuz for $800 u'll get working gps, 5 mpx camera, divx support, bluetooth, mms and in addition xbox 360.

I'm pretty sure Apple can fill all of your needs of 5 mpx camera, divx support, Bluetooh (Bluetooth I'm guessing) for less than $800. So I think Samsung is not smarter than Apple.

What are you looking at that has a 5 mpx camera? Not the iPhone, that's for sure.

Take your Apple is god crap and shove it in some other forum......can anyone talk about any quality phone in here without mentioning the crApple?

14. (unregistered) posted on 16 Jul 2008, 12:56

REALLY??? no way you are getting an Xbox 360 with a phone Damn thats like going to the Apple store and buying an Iphone and they give you a computer......to bad that will never happen lol......actually thank god that'll never happen HAHAHAHAHAHA ***AND BY THE WAY I WAS THE ONE WHO POSTED THE 1ST COMMENT THIS MORNING AND I DIDNT EVEN PUT DOWN THE IPHONE ALL I SAID was THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT BEING SMART WITH THE OTHER COMPANIES.....i mean come on guys its clear that Apple is on some EGotistical Power trip ever since they sold all those Ipods back in the day..........apple had problems with VZW, and Rogers whats next maybe a Recall for the 3G...oh man the world would be upside down

and before i go, i said "IT IS LIKE GETTING A FREE COMPUTER" just in case all the apple lovers want to come over here and fill this thread with useless information about apples computers....we already waste enough time on the Damn Iphone

There are talks of tis coming to The US under ATT. I just hope all the features make it as well. The article I read says some time late 3r quarter.

and for the iphone worshipper...FYI, the iphone DOES NOT support divx without conversion...we are talking about a media-capable phone WITHOUT conversion (to my knowledge) meaning that it has built in codecs...which is AWESOME =) AND it has a 5mp camera which the iphone DOES NOT have...iphone has a 2mp camera without FLASH...not to mention that in this day and age the iphone doesn't even support expandable memory whereas the omnia supports SDHC memory cards...all in all, the omnia lives up to its name and is MUCH better than the iphone...
