Samsung Omnia gets FCC certification

Samsung Omnia

The Samsung Omnia has received certification from the FCC, clearing the path for its arrival in the U.S. Details are slim but it does confirm that the SGH-i900L model will come with 850/1900MHz GSM/WCDMA connectivity.

The Samsung Omnia is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and a custom user interface called TouchWiz. It also comes with a 3.2-inch wide QVGA (240×400) touchscreen display with an accelerometer to control screen orientation, a small trackpad, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, an FM radio with RDS, a 5MP camera, a 0.4MP front-facing camera, a microSD expansion slot, and a 1440 mAh battery. It remains to be seen if both the 8GB and 16GB models will be offered in the U.S.

There is no word yet on availability, which U.S. carriers might offer it (maybe AT&T based on the 3G band covered?) and pricing.
