samsung-omnia-att-rumorEngadget Mobile is reporting on a rumor that the Samsung Omnia that some are trying to slap the iPhone killer label on, might be coming to AT&T as the AT&T Mirage.

The Omnia has already become a pretty popular Windows Mobile device and it sure would be nice to see another solid WM phone added to the AT&T device lineup. I just wish people would stop calling everything with a touch screen “the iPhone Killer”. It’s not like Apple invented the touch screen anyhow.

    i seriously think that the omnia or mirage is definitely and iPhone killer, it is much faster, much easier to use, the touch screen is better, and it is much faster than the iPhone or iPhone 3g, oh, not to mention its spectacular camera and video and tv, compared to the iPhone’s crappy 2 mp camera with no video and no tv

    You're forgetting one thing, though -- the cult of Apple, as I mentioned above.

    The original iPhone sold very well when it only had EDGE, no installable applications (unless you jailbroke) and no video camera in spite of other phones (including some Windows Mobile phones) having those features.

    Do you really think Apple fans will give a Windows Mobile phone a chance at all? Other phones might end up selling better than the iPhone, but I don't think you'll really see a true "iPhone killer".

  • Well, now Engadget is reporting the name Mirage is getting assigned to hardware that loks like the Omnia, and is running the TouchWiz software interface, but is not runing WinMo.

    Hear, hear! It's not like anything will kill the iPhone anyway. There are way too many Apple fanboys for that to happen.

    The Motorola Q was called a "BlackBerry killer" at one time, but RIM also seems to be doing fine. (But I do love my Q9m....)
