They’re apparently not for sale yet — stores don’t even know what the pricing situation is — but Verizon has starting shipping Samsung Omnias to at least some of its stores. For anyone not needing the global…um, “globalness” of the Saga or the QWERTY-ness of the upcoming Touch Pro, the Omnia certainly makes for an engaging attention option — espeically in light of the TouchWiz support and the 5-megapixel cam. With units in stores at this time, it can’t be long until we can actually buy these, can it?

Samsung’s Omnia found in the unforgiving wilds of a Verizon store originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:10:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Not that it wasn’t official already or anything, but nothing demonstrates dedication to a product like an exclusive home on the web. Yep, LG has just launched a standalone microsite for the altogether sexy Prada II, and while you already know about the specs — HSDPA, WiFi, 5-megapixel camera, 3-inch 400 x 240 pixel capacitive multi-touch display and quad-band GSM connectivity — you probably weren’t aware of the matching Prada Link Bluetooth watch. As you’d expect, the timepiece syncs with your Prada II and shows your incoming calls / texts, and we’ll go out on a limb and presume that it tells time, too. Sadly, the tidbits we’re most interested in (a release Dat. and pricing) aren’t clearly available on the site, but we’ll be refreshing like madmen hoping for that to change.

If you like what the ZN5 brings to the table but roundish sliders are more your cup of tea (and when the alternative is a drab gray candybar with purple accents, we can’t say we blame you), Moto’s got the solution to the pollution this morning with the official announcement of the VE66. You’ve got that 5-megapixel autofocus cam with LED flash (as opposed to the ZN5’s xenon) and image stabilization, WiFi, FM radio, Motorola’s CrystalTalk noise reduction, and a navigation wheel for flying through song tracks. Interestingly, there’s no mention of Moto’s partnership with Kodak anywhere on the phone or the announcement — but something tells us that won’t have an effect on picture quality. Look for it to launch some time this quarter.
