I've been looking at the Samsung Omnia for about 2 months and was able to confirm with an AT&T rep at last week that they were in fact getting this phone. It will be released in September, only because the iPhone is dropping in 2 weeks. It will come in two flavors: 8gb and 16gb. It has GPS, 5mp camera, Samsung's TouchWiz interface. Retail, it's about $800 but with a 2 year contract, it'd be around $500-$600 but the person I spoke said it may be even less because Americans are not used to paying so much for a phone. I hope this helps anyone interested in this phone.

David don't freak out, you are not replying to yourself. I am another David.
It's been rumored that the US/at&t version would be stripped of WiFi, GPS and 3G.

Did your contact comment on this? I hope it's just an ugly rumor.
