Samsung T*Omnia due in US by end of November?

This is the one phone Windows Mobile users have been waiting for and will probably give the iPhone some substantial competition. I have seen and handled the phone and it is nice. The camera for one is 5 megapixels and better than my old digital camera!

This will also make running medical programs like Epocrates a lot nicer with the large screen, so hopefully the unit will be available by the end of the month. This is a great phone, not to mention the storage capabilities as well, 4GB or 16GB. BD

Samsung has only just introduced the T*Omnia in its home country but may already be enroute to the US within a matter of weeks, a claim from BusinessWeek. The company is reportedly in talks to bring the Windows Mobile touchscreen phone with an unspecified US carrier by the end of November, though whether it represents the fully-upgraded T*Omnia or its lower-resolution, lower-capacity ancestor is unknown.

From a prior post:

If you like the iPhone, there’s a new Windows Mobile phone, rumored to be coming out from AT&T around September or so. It will have the nice increased real estate for the screen, what we all want and like. In addition, the camera on the unit is 5 megapixels and that’s better than my regular digital camera! 8 GB storage and of course room for more with an expansion SD card. It is out in Europe this month, so exactly when it hits the states is still really not known for sure.

Some other nice features are GPS, FM radio, TV-out and there will be no keyboard, all onscreen with a 3.5 inch touch screen. These are the specs right now for the international market and it will be unlocked.

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

It will also have a “Mouse”. I can see this being a real potential tool for healthcare with the larger screen and basically it is designed for conferencing with the camera. A bigger screen for using Outlook is wonderful. To view images and health records on a larger screen is huge. Sure there are times when you want a larger unit when in the office by using a Tablet PC, but for being on the go, this sure looks to have all the elements set. HTC is also due to have a phone out soon to compete.
