Samsung Pixon coming to the US with AT&T-compatible 3G
Well it’s no Innov8 but we’re still pretty amazed that Samsung is actually going to be bringing its 8 megapixel to the US with some 3G love. No, seriously! The FCC just did its thing, and by that we mean it let us all know about a handset way ahead of schedule – the Samsung M8800L. The L variant is basically identical to its European counterpart but it sports the coveted 850 and 1900 MHz WCDMA bands that we hope for with each new high-end handset announcement and typically don’t see. In other words, it looks like AT&T will soon be getting it’s 8 megapixels on and we can all look forward to some tempting subsidized pricing. Initial rumors pointed to T-Mobile as being a potential carrier for this beast of a camera phone but unless a third version is in the works, it’s unfortunately not looking overly likely.

Wait, wasn’t the Omnia a WinMo phone with TouchWiz installed on it?
the omina has WinMo with the touchwiz UI.
the pixon has straight up touchwiz.
I have a question that is off of this subjet a bit! I like the Omnia and the AT&T version the Eternity. Since I don’t have a problem with AT&T, can anyone tell me if it is possible to install WinMo on the Eternity? Please help if you can.
Good news, it will be releasing with att & t-mobile!
The T Mobile G2 is coming in the Spring. A T Mobile rep confirmed it to me this morning. They will also be getting the Samsung 929 as well. I wish they would get the Iphone soon. T Mobile Europe has it.
Hey, just because it makes it through the FCC with US 3G freqs does not mean that it is destined for the states. The Omnia went through the FCC with US 3G freqs and was destined for Central America. Been disappointed before, hope it doesnt happen this time.
I came across this phone by mistake doing some research on another samsung.
I am also curious to see what this phone looks like in person.
The release date has not yet been set according to the salesman at the store but just sometime in the spring.
when is this phone coming out
