Samsung seeks to reinforce its leadership in the smartphone market and build on the success of the Omnia I (I900), which sold more than 2.5 million units worldwide last year.

Does anybody know yet which network the other 4 Omnia’s are going to? Any rumors about going to AT&T… Maybe…
We don’t know yet which of the other 3 are going. The OmniaPRO B7320 however, is the equivalent of Samsung Jack that is already available in AT&T. We’ve play around with it before and it’s pretty slick. (It’s a smartphone, not pocketpc, hence no touchscreen. Just FYI.)
