Pricing and release info for Verizon’s Samsung Omnia

Exclusive

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!

    spoke like a real pro! :)
    we have to remember that our windows mobile phones, though they do not have multi-touch…
    are way better than iphones!
    they are for the man or woman that wants to do WHATEVER THEY LIKE!
    god just thinking about limitations gets me heated!

    Will it have a landscape keyboard?

    Yes Jumper it will have an accelerometer.I already cancelled my storm order for the Omnia. The only thing I am concerned about is the screen resolution. 240 X400 is kind of low.I don’t understand why Samsung did not incorporate the asian T*Omnia screen at 800X600. Mind bogling but at least VZ omnia runs on 3G and WiFi … Way worth it!

    ronin- the low screen resolution is also what bugs me. I can’t figure out why they would make such a good phone with such a low screen resolution. But I’m still getting it right when it comes out.

    Verizon TS tells me you MUST buy dataplan with Omnia as wifi isdisabled without it. Does anyone know of a way to enable it? VZW are deeks.
