Leaked document hints at a release date for the Verizon Wireless Samsung Omnia
A document leaked by VZW E, a well known tipster over at Howard Forums details the training dates of some upcoming Verizon Wireless smartphones. The Blackberry Storm and Touch Diamond were mentioned in a previous leak of training information but this information about the Samsung Omnia is new. Rumored to be coming to Verizon in November, previously leaked documents contained the very broad “coming in November” target release date. According to this new document, the Omnia training is slated to begin November 15th which means we can expect the Omnia to hit the shelves soon there after. The optimistic among us are hoping for a possible release during the last week of November but we will most likely see the phone arrive sometime in December. This is great news for all of you who are anxiously awaiting the Omnia but the document does leave us wondering what happened to the HTC XV6850 a.k.a. Touch Pro, and the Samsung i770 Saga both of which were rumored for a November release along with the Omnia. With no apparent training dates showing up on this document and rumors of delays circulating for both handsets, it looks like we may have to wait a bit before we can get our grubby mitts on the XV6850 or the i770.

The phones are usually avaialble for order 2 weeks after the tests are available for the reps… keyword being usually.
That would be great.

My VZ rep told me that the XV6850 was a 2009 phone and that he would know more Q1 of 09. Be a real bummer for that phone to take so long to come out…

I was eying the 6850 for purchase at the end of the month. Words cannot convey how disgusted I am with Verizon. If it wasn’t for the fact that they have the best coverage (esp. 3G), I would dump them in a heartbeat.

I think your right about the coverage. My company would dump them in a heartbeat if not for the great coverage they provide. I’m afraid they have the great coverage and don’t seem to care about anything else much.

I am up for my New Every Two and Verizon has gone crazy with the Mail-in Rebates again… I hate MIRs!!!! So I am going to go with the Samsung u550 (no MIR) as an upgrade to an LG VX5300. BEWARE… Verizon is using Parago to handle its rebate claims… do a little googling on Parago before you make the leap.
