Rumors have just surfaced that suggest that Samsung’s Omnia II will be hitting Verizon Wireless sometime later this month.

That’s all fine and dandy considering the Omnia II is a beautiful handset but there’s just one problem with this rumor; Verizon’s Omnia II is expected to ship with Windows Mobile 6.1. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that Windows Mobile 6.5 powered devices will be shipping later this month, so why not the Omnia II?

Well, the same rumors say that although a 6.5 update will be in the pipeline it won’t actually be pushed out until some time after the phone goes on sale.

If this is true, what gives?
