Samsung T*Omnia announced in Korea via SK Telecom
The improved Samsung Omnia isn’t a Japanese thing any more. The Korean electronics giant is bringing the same device to the home market under the name “T*Omnia.” As with the Japanese version, this Omnia will also come with a better 3.3-inch WVGA (480×800 pixels) touchscreen and a mobile TV receiver. However, for the Korean market it’s satellite DMB rather than one-seg receiver that is used in Japan. Korean SK Telecom will be selling device in two flavors: SCH-M490 with 4GB and SCH-M495 with 16GB of internal memory. Rest of the specs are unchanged and include 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and image stabilizer, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, and Bluetooth support. Windows Mobile 6.1 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI is running the show. Now Samsung if you could bring this baby to Europe and North America, we would love you. Forget mobile TV, we don’t need that at the moment, or at least prepare two Omnias: one with and the other one without mobile TV receiver.
