Pricing and release info for Verizon’s Samsung Omnia
You didn’t think we’d keep you in the dark for too long did you? Come on people, you should know your pals at BGR a little better than that by now. It has only been two days since we showed you the first live pics of Samsung’s sexy 5 megapixel touchscreen all dressed up in Verizon threads, but you clearly weren’t going to be satisfied until we gave you some more details. Ok, no problem - you know our ninjas don’t sleep… Those of you who really can’t wait to get your mitts on this puppy will have early online and telesales orders fulfilled on November 26th. For the rest of you who want to check the Omnia out in person before shelling out some cash for it, December 8th is the official in-store date. Woo! As far as pricing goes, you’re looking at a respectable $249.99 after the $70 mail-in rebate. Sure we would have loved to break that $200 mark for the release price but hey, early adopter tax is nothing new to us right? So there you have it, VZW peeps. If touchscreen is your game and the Storm isn’t exactly your cup of tea, the Samsung Omnia might be just what the doctor ordered.
Thanks, krazyVZW!

Still no word on whether or not the Omnia will have Wi-Fi? I know the original one does but there has been some speculation as to the i910.

There has been word on wi-fi. It will have it. It will also have the FM transmitter.
Personally I am gonna look hard at this and Storm. Both have a lot of features I like. See how to OS oon the Storm is moving Dec. 8th.

I wish more companies released decent WM phones. I am quite disappointed with my HTC Touch - from wrinkled plasticy-looking screen, to poor built quality and 20-hours standby time (vs. 200 hours promised in the HTC brochure), I am having second thoughts about buying any HTC product in the future.

I wonder if the Dec 8 date was decided in part to give more time to get the Storm’s fw issues resolved? Enough time to update the firmware at least once to keep Storm users and reviewers happy so they don’t jump ship for the Omnia? With so much riding on the Storm by VZW and BB, I suspect this is a very real possibility…

Does this mean Nov 26th is just an online pre-order date and they won’t ship them out until December
OR
Is Nov 26th when they will also start shipping them out so you could get them right after thanksgiving weeked potentially?

Brad - thanks for your questions, and I was wondering the same. Is the first time that we can order the Omnia online/on the phone on November 26th? Will the Verizon phone sales reps be able to see it in their computer system (when I called the 800 number, they didn’t know anythng about it).
After using my friend’s Samsung Instinct (LOVED it), and trying to use the Blackberry Storm (didn’t like it), I’m really looking forward to the Omnia.
Thanks for the information!

Blackberry is for cracberry addicts
touch pro is for qwerty (isn’t it fun to type!)keyboard and those who like their tech chunky
Omnia is for the true iPhone competitor on VZW
