The Pre and the iPhone 3GS are out in the open and in about 10 days they will be selling together. I guess everyone else in the business is considering ideas to try to fight against these two hot phones. That’s why Samsung someone probably leaked the GT-I8000 or the Omnia II to the public. The phone will offer a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, an 8.1 megapixel camera with dual-LEDs and VGA video recording, a 1500mAh battery, HSDPA connectivity, Windows Mobile (dare we say 6.5?) and a custom UI similar to the one on the S8000. With arrival dates and prices still hidden for the public eye will the Omnia 2 sell as good as the Pre or the iPhone 3GS? Will anyone wait for this baby to be officially launched? And just for the record, this is another Samsung phone dubbed as the Omnia 2 and we hope this time it’s the real thing!
