I don't beleive AT&T has ever released a Samsung phone with WiFi enabled... We’ll see if AT&T will KILL THIS ONE BY DISABLING WiFi in it also.

I was really all the features about this phone at http://www.Samsung-Omnia.org I got to say it's really amazing. The Samsung Glyde is no where near this Omnia both features and look and feel, it's really disappoint for verizon. Verizon needs to get its acts together soon or they will get hammered by AT&T.

It is an awesome phone and a serious competitor (except browser which will be resolved with Opera Mini soon). Other than that, it is very customizable, single handed operation for most stuff, fast Touch-screen response, real GPS (unlike iPhone which just tacks on Google Maps) with turn-by-turn directions. You can even download Google maps (both street view and satellite view) on Sprint Instinct (should be integrated with GPS in a little while as well). The voice command search is awesome (you say Chinese Food and it will find nearby using GPS and even give you a one-touch number to call or one-touch to turn-by-turn GPS directions), and 30+ TV channels and a lot of Radio channels are included. It also has a camcorder that iPhone doesn't. It is perfect size (iphone is too wide). And best of all, for $69.99 single line or $129.99 for 2 lines, you get everything that iPhone 3G will provide plus UNLIMITED Text messaging (iPhone will cost $20 extra per month!) and UNLIMITED TV and RADIO time (no TV or Radio on iPhone)! The TeleNav GPS on Instinct is like high-end GPS unit for a car and it has voice command with real names of streets. It also checks for real-time traffic alerts and re-routes you! You can even set Instinct up to announce (text to voice) the names of phone callers on incoming calls or text messages! And it cost me $129.99 at BestBuy (no mail-in rebates needed) with renewal of 2-year contract (I was 23 months into the contract). This is the best deal for my money and I got 2 of them for me and my wife and she loves it!

The 5 megapixel camera is what's tipping the scale for me. Also, I know Samsung drop in some nice features/additions out of the box on their WinMo devices. The ability to build your own "homescreen" from drag-and-drop widgets is a nice touch. Samsung also do a nice job. But until I see it in an AT&T store, I'll not hold my breath for it.

Perhaps that is because they haven't figured out how to fit proper drivers in their devices yet! :) I do love HTC, but it bugs me that drivers are the last piece of the puzzle they need to build the ULTIMATE device. I'm sorry, game over iPhone. The Raphael with proper network bands for the US would be a better hit I think. VGA Baby! I agree, the screen resolution is pitiful.

Thankfully most everything else is quite sweet.
