    Wow,Samsung invested all their money in manufacturing new phones with the same design and a few specs changed...isn't that great? NO ! They fell off just like Nokia ,in fact they are copying Nokia's style..."selling crappy phones to stupid ppl who buy them"

      This is never going to happen. That phone looks so similar to Preston and plus Omnias can never be so small in size, i mean just look at it...it's so handy and small, just seems as if the back button has been changed in Preston. This is a tricky video and it has to be a rumor, if Samsung is launching this version of Omnia then this is a serious upset.

              To anyone who buys this phone including me, the first thin you need to do is disable the horrible touchwiz inferface & install Spb Mobile Shell 3.

              Will it be upgradable to win mobile 6.5....

                      Samsungs current touchwiz is the most pathetic, stupid & annoying interface you can get on a phone the widgets are HUGE why are they so Massive they need to be same size as the widgets on Android & spb Mobile Shell 3.

                      Lets hope this is a new version or This Is Not What Everyone Wants....

                        Ok that was completely unnecessary for Gsmarena to post that last line about how excited they are that the Apple conference is about to start - as if no other phone is important. Gsmarena, you are close to losing a viewer due to stuff like that.

                                How many phones will Samsung release :O
                                I think they should only launch few but good phones instead of spamming them.

                                  Does it have an AMOLED- or TFT-display? They say both in the preview.

                                  Anyway, overall, this phone is far inferior to Omnia HD. And even if it wouldn't be, then WinMo would ruin it anyway.

                                      This is goin to teach all the Phone makers a lesson to Rethink wat the new generation of mobile technology the younger generation is lookin for and trash their old phones into the bin and come up with something like this.. Way to Go SamSung...

                                        I had a Samsung T929 Memoir 2 months ago and i'm not gonna get a Sasmung touchscreen again. Can't stand Sasmsung touch interface, it's slow, choppy and sometimes totally unresponsive unless you press very carefully on a widget and drag it slowly with the patience of Gandhi. Using the choppy and slow Samsung Touchwiz interface is like using a laptop infected with a trojan virus.

                                        Please Samsung just get rid of the Touchwiz interface, it's crap, slow, choppy and far from a finished software.
