Samsung Android Phone Revealed?
Samsung’s first Android phone was revealed earlier today at a Samsung dealer show in Amsterdam. The upcoming handset is believed to include a capacitive touchscreen, 528MHz processor, and some substantial internal storage with microSD expansion available.
The Samsung Android phone will also (supposedly) have quad-band GSM, and will be available in UMTS 900 and UMTS 2100 for the US and European markets.
Samsung have yet to make an official public announcement regarding this handset.

I think this platform could be a really good thing for Samsung. I have seen some of their recent phones and I haven’t been too impressed with the UI.
This will give them the chance to concentrate on the hardware and leave the rest up to the Android community.

I thought UMTS 900/950 (along with 2100) was European, not US.
US is 800/850 + 1900, isn’t it?

looks like someone has taken android software and loaded it into the omnia (http://uk.samsungmobile.com/mobile-phone/SamsungOmnia-overview) or a very similar phone… i dont think samsung will launch an android based phone just yet… you should note the android is popular already as a transfer OS, as its easier to move around than the windows based platform.

Good information. Currently I just got a Samsung Omnia SCH-i910 within the mail from ebay, and it at this time would seem that it is at stock settings for the Verizon Network. I strategy to utilize this cell phone on Metro PCS. I also desire to place Windows Mobile 6.5 on right here, but I’m not positive which order I must do this in. Must I bring it to Metro PCS as is and have it activated, after which afterwards flash the ROM with 6.five? Or really should I modify the ROM 1st after which it carry it to Metro PCS? I’ve been searching around and I’m unable to find the response to this.
