The Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade is now available for the Samsung i760. WM 6.1 include enhancements such as an improved version of Internet Explorer, threaded SMS messages, and support for YouTube videos.
Hmmm - I guess Samsung added that nifty YouTube feature - it wasn’t included in the Sprint Mogul/Touch ROM upgrades..!
The ROM update is available here.
Steve Jobs is supposed to be unveiling the new 3G iPhone today, so Samsung has chosen a very interesting time to announce their latest Windows Mobile creation - the i900 Omnia.
At first glance, I didn’t think this device ran WM (due to the proprietary-looking interface on the screen) but looking to the top of the screen set me straight. The i900 will run WM 6.1 and does not have a hardware keyboard. It’s 12.5mm thick and has a platinum-looking finish. It features a 3.2″ WQVGA touchscreen, 5MP camera, GPS, FM radio, WiFi, and can handle a 16GB storage card.
The Omnia is quad-band GSM, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. It will be released abroad first. No word yet on a U.S. release date.
If you’re a Sprint customer and you find yourself traveling abroad, there is now a Windows Mobile device in the offering which will work ’round the world.
The Samsung Ace is very similar to the Blackjack II offered by AT&T, and it operates on CDMA as well as GSM networks.
The Samsung Ace is available today in business sales channels and at sprint.com. It will be available at Sprint retail stores beginning in March.
It is selling for $200 with a two-year service agreement and $100 mail-in-rebate.
