Windows Phone Thoughts: Samsung Announces T*OMNIA

"Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leading producer of mobile phones, today announced the Korean market launch of “T*OMNIA”, the Korean version of “Samsung OMNIA”. Samsung OMNIA, renamed as “T*OMNIA”, will be available from mid-November under exclusive deal with SK telecom, the largest mobile operator in Korea. Compared the original Samsung OMNIA, “T*OMNIA” equipped upgraded 3.3” WVGA touch screen (480x800) and added Satellite DMB function, an essential feature for Korean users who would like to enjoy Mobile TV and internet with their mobile phones any time, anywhere."

Our friends at Akihabara News have just reported on the T*OMNIA, which was announced today and includes everything you love about the Omnia, plus more. The former is a little larger, but with that, the display has been beefed up to 3.3" and 480 x 800. There's also a DMB TV tuner. It all sounds good, eh? The catch is it will only be available in Korea, so the rest of us will have to stick with the standard Omnia for the time being or, perhaps, some other device.
