Samsung’s WinMo-powered Omnia II (GT-i8000) clears FCC, eyes AT&T – 1381th Edition
Filed under: Handsets, Samsung, ATT, Rogers Wireless, Windows Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA
There’s no doubt that Samsung’s Omnia II is one of the most coveted Windows Mobile smartphones out at the moment — we mean, who can really resist a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 7.2Mbps HSPA, a 5 megapixel camera and 720 x 480 movie recording? For Americans, however, there seemed to be little hope that GSM fans would ever see a version catering specifically to their needs (read: dual-band 850 / 1,900MHz 3G “needs”)… until now. On this fine Friday, the cool cats over at the FCC have shown that there actually is a GT-i8000 headed to America with support for AT&T 3G bands, though obviously little else is known about when it’ll make its expected splash. Better hurry, Samsung — the competition’s heating up over here.
