Samsung's OmniaHD: world's first phone to capture 720p video?

We've no way to confirm at the moment, but if SamsungCentral is to be believed, Samsung's newly announced OmniaHD will soon become the world's first cellphone to record 720p video. Unlike the HTC Touch HD -- which had precisely zero high-def amenities -- it seems the next breed of Omnia may actually live up to its moniker. Other purported specifications include an 8 megapixel camera and a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, though the resolution of the panel is currently unknown. Have we mentioned we can't wait to get our paws around this? Because we can't.

Update: Sammy's sent out a press release for the OmniaHD and, sure enough, this bad boy's boasting 720p video recording. Also confirmed: we can't wait to try this sucker out.

I know T-Mobile is getting the Memoir, but I can't help but hope their getting this one too.

t-mobile will most likely not get this, if any carrier gets this in 2009 it will be verizon wireless or at&t.

This is the commercial version of the leaked acme i8910 right? That was supposed to run Symbian. This looks like Samsung's WinMo Touch Wiz.
Ugh.
