If you follow the wireless world, you’ll recall many sites reporting the Samsung Omnia that was spotted with Verizon’s logo on it about a month or so ago, but it’s still not officially released and available for sale.
However, BoyGeniusReport has come up with some live shots of the Windows Mobile 6.1 handset, with the picture set in a Verizon retail store, which in the mobile world generally means a mass release is imminent. Commence drooling.
It’s likely as far as feature set to be very similar to the GSM version of the device, which has been for sale in European territories for quite awhile now.
Those features include: a solid 5MP camera, a good sized 240X400 pixels touchscreen display, GPS, Wi-Fi, the latest slick Windows Mobile and other nice stuff. This one has been awaited for a long time now, so expect demands to be high and supplies to possibly be low early on.
No word on pricing, but a $70 rebate has been rumored, so that should help even more people get some Omnia love (and possibly estimate the price around the $200-300 level, minus contract incentives).

If they do sell this for $200 then there will be plenty of hair being ripped out as people try to decide between this phone and the BlackBerry Storm. 5mp camera though, now that may be the deal maker.
