Samsung Lover, 04 Nov 2008And since this phone is the upgrade version of Samsung F480... moreNope the model names are different even though they look same.

Hectic 2 looks like T*Omnia but the Optical mousepad has a mark. The model name is SCH-W550(4gb for SKT)/SCH-W5500(4gb forKTF)/ SCH-W555(16gb for SKT)

And then Both Heptic 1 & 2 are just TouchWIZ where as T*Omnia is windows mobile.

    And since this phone is the upgrade version of Samsung F480, now, it has 50 kinds of widgets compared to 15 widgets of Samsung F480.

    The international version of this phone isn't released yet outside Korea.

      Hey, this IS NOT OMNIA. This is HAPTIC 2 phone which is known as Samsung F480 outside Korea.Thus, this phone is the upgrade version for Samsung F480 (aka Haptic Phone in Korea).

      Look at the two vids. The Korean guy is comparing Haptic phone versions 1 and 2:

              Thanks DespertaFerro! I guess I'll be getting the HTC Touch HD instead. I really don't know what's going through the heads of the people at Samsung, but they should've just made this version of the Omnia from the start. Or they could've made the T*OMNIA available to other countries. Again this is a lost sales opportunity for Samnsung with this truly remarkable phone. Samnsung boycott anyone??

It's still unclear if it will be possible to change the korean ROM to english ROM, but perhaps impossible... The prior phone samsung released in korea, the Haptic 2 did have the option to change everything to english, but it was a samsung propietary User Interface, no WM. I also wish T*omnia can be switched to english...but that's impossible...

                    I know this phone is exclusive to Korea, but does anyone know if it will have a language option and the ability to switch to English? Also what frequency's or bands will it run on?

                            Before South Korea, the Omnia has been released in Japan. I thought with the same specifications.

I am very sure it will grow it's market share further..... Viva Samsung! But seriously i just hope Samsung uses better material for it's phone. I am not bias , just stating my honest opinion. Have a Omnia and is nothing compare to my nokia e71 in terms of build. the metal trimming of my omnia is peeling, whereas my e71 is real metal, no peeling. you get my point?

                                      What I meant was that... yes, T Omnia is really nice phone, but i wanted to say that except T omnia, most of other phones like KF700
                                      Virgo, Viewty, M4560, Blackjack 1 and 2, korean version of these phones performs worse than 'world' version of phones.
