Since we posted a first take of Samsung's Omnia 2 back in June, a lot of readers have been asking when Verizon would actually begin selling it. Well, according the good folks over at The Boy Genius Report, who have "trusted mole" at Best Buy Mobile, the much-anticipated iPhone pretender will be launching on August 23 along with several other featurephones from different carriers.
Here the complete list that leaked:
Omnia 2 (Verizon)
Global AirCard G2 (Verizon)
Samsung Rogue (Verizon)
LG Chocolate Touch (Verizon)
Samsung u450 Intensity (Verizon)
Samsung Gravity 2 (T-Mobile)
Samsung Solstice (AT&T)
LG Xenon (AT&T)
BlackBerry Tour (new shipment--Sprint)
With no iPhone 3GS on the immediate horizon for Verizon, the Omnia 2 is high on a lot of Verizon customers' phone upgrade lists.
Expect full coverage, including a review around the phone's launch date.
