OmniaHD with Windows Mobile 6.5 coming after all?
We have lamented Samsung’s move to Symbian with the Omnia HD, especially after the great market performance of the device, but it seems Samsung was not abandoning Windows Mobile, merely spreading some love to other OS’s also.
From a recent Samsung presentation to dealers in Amsterdam we have this picture taken from a screen which revealed 13 new Samsung devices, all touch screen.
The one circled is supposedly the Samsung Omnia HD running Windows Mobile 6.5 The device is positioned as a premium multi-media device, which is a pretty good place to find a Windows Mobile handset after all.
No further information is available, but we will continue to scan the airwaves for more news on this no doubt powerful device.
Edit:
Cone of our commenters suggest there is some confusion regarding this, so we will withhold popping the bubbly just yet. Read the comments below for more info.

From what I’ve heard (I think I’ve heard the interview that the All About Phones-article was based on, the man from Samsung said that the touchscreen of the new OmniaHD works better, because the old Omnia was based on Windows Mobile. He added that he expected that the new WM should be able to solve the touchscreen problem. I think the All About Phones reporter understood him wrongly.
And of the phones displayed on the slide in your picture, maybe a few are new. If you look close enough (but maybe you should have seen it to come to this conclusion), you recognize the phones announced in Barcelona, like BeatDJ.

IE runs so slowly on my old work computer. Its too much of a resource hog. And I’m not a fan of firefox…. So I need Opera and WMPoweruser.com working hand in hand once again!
Not to mention this problem likely affects ppl using OperaMobile to access the blog from their WM phones.

I can confirm that the comments section really doesn’t render correctly in Opera.
