Samsung's T*Omnia: all that and double the i900 Omnia's resolution

Like the i900 Omnia, eh? We sure did. Well here's its prettier, smarter cousin tagged the T*Omnia. For the most part, it's the same quad-band, WinMo 6.1 candybar with 7.2Mbps HSDPA data, WiFi, GPS, 5 megapixel cam, and nifty TouchWiz UI we've seen for months. But this hometown Korean version bumps the display to a WVGA, 800 x 480 pixels (up from 400 x 240) while slapping in a DMB digital television tuner to ensure it's non-Stateside status for eternity... at least with this specific configuration. Perhaps Verizon would be so kind as to make use of that display?

800x480 is 4x the resolution of 400x240!

Won't DMB work here in the U.S. come February? Or what is that new digital TV thing? And will phones here ever have that?

The 'new digital TV thing' was actually adopted by the FCC in the mid-1990's (1995/6). Its only new to you. :) And in the USA, its called ATSC, and it would be nice if Samsung had the guts to put this phone out with an ATSC tuner. That way we could ignore the SOB cost of streaming video and paying the carrier for data bandwidth consumption.

Great development ... Samsung should have included this in the beginning though.

I'd buy it unlocked if it had triband 3G.
