And at this time a little bit of news out of our “straight out of left field” department: Verizon’s apparently getting the Omnia. We’ve spent so long trying to will a North American HSDPA-equipped version of Samsung’s WinMo superphone into existence that we totally failed to consider the possibility of an EV-DO-equipped version materializing first, and sure enough, Verizon’s latest rebate form lists an Omnia. We suppose it’s possible that this’ll somehow be watered down from its international equivalent, but we hope Bot. Samsung and Big Red are smart enough to launch an unfettered, honest-to-goodness CDMA translation of the mighty 5-megapixel original.

Separately, we noticed a Samsung Saga listed on there, did a little Googling, and Wirefly seems convinced that the long-rumored global WinMo QWERTY i770 is plan to be called the “Saga.” So yeah, that settles that.

[Thanks, Donald H.]
