Samsung seems to have finally realized that it would be foolish not to use the successful “Omnia” moniker and has decided to use it after all with the Samsung i8910.  The i8910 is now scheduled for a release in Italy as the Omnia HD, although Samsung may still go ahead and release it as the i8910 HD in other markets.  Making the event a bit more special is Samsung’s colloboration with the movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which will be opening the same week, for the release of Omnia HD in Italy.  As we already know, the the i8910 is similar in most features to Samsung Omnia with a few worthy upgrades, the most notable being an 8-megapixel lens instead of 5 megapixels and the use of AMOLED technology instead of TFT for its 3.2-inch touchscreen display.  We still have no idea whether it will be able to record vidoes in 720p, but considering the HD tag that is attached to its name, we are betting it will.

Look for it to land in Italy on April 29 at an undisclosed price.
