phoneArena has cobbled together all the details it could dig up on a trio of Samsungs apparently destined for AT&T, and needless to say, we're not looking at your average anonymous midrange flips here (and kudos to that, by the way). First up is the
A767 "Sangria," which apparently borrows the
i620 and
i640's style but drops Windows Mobile to turn it into a strictly consumer device that's targeted for launch in late October. Next up, the
A867 (cutesy name unknown) sorta looks like the mighty
Omnia from its FCC filing, but it probably isn't for a couple very good reason: first, the FCC filing makes no mention of WiFi, and second, Samsung's smartphones start with "i." Finally, that
i907 Mirage -- you know, the one everyone thought (hoped) might actually be the Omnia -- is said to actually be AT&T's version of the
i780, featuring Windows Mobile Professional, triband HSDPA, a 2-megapixel cam, and that optical mouse Samsung has been featuring on its higher-end devices as of late. Pretty exciting stuff, eh?

Uhg, you guys (including phonearena), completely missed this on the A867:

MediaFLO and AGPS!!!!!!!!!
I'm guessing they figured they already have a touchscreen WinMo phone coming with the Fuze and the Omnia would be too close to the iPhone for Apple's sake, so they're getting an Omnia minus Windows Mobile but with MediaFLO.
why did they take out the omnia? i understand it might hurt the iphone 3g sales but i sure would have loved to have an omnia with us 3g
