Teltsta in Australia is advertising the coming addition of the HTC Diamond and that has the same HSDPA 2100 as the Europe/Asia omnia i900 model ,not the Ameriaca's model. So it should be fine.

According to the spec's Australia does have 3g with 2100 HSDPA and this phone has those spec's .If buying one it would probably be to purchase the Europe/Asia model than the the America's model. Has anyone in Australia got one yet and using it.

Jason, 18 Jul 2008Hi again,
3G won't apparently. A pity for you!
BUT: there are two options I can think of ... moreFurther more (maybe a question for others):
Will it not work in Australia, are you sure?
2G: 900 + 1800
3G: 850 + 2100
The specs says:
HSDPA 2100 Europe / Asia, 850 / 1900 Americas
The only difference I see is UMTS v. HSDPA, but it is both 3G. So maybe there is still a change for you!

3G won't apparently. A pity for you!
BUT: there are two options I can think of now, 1) still buy the phone and make use of all the other nice features, 2) wait. Personally I think they will bring it out ALL over the world just because Samsung expect it to be a VERY BIG HIT! Also they need to compete with other brands.

Lame, it wont work in australia, the 3g capabilities. So unfair, this phone has everything I want in a phone. Nothing else available here has such specifications.

Im a real newbie to phones but Im upgrading and this one seems the best. Only thing is I'm from Australia. I called samsung head office and they said they are not sure if it is even going to be made available in auz. yet. So my question is if I buy one from overseas, like uk or us version, will it work in australia? I have no idea on this stuff. Apologies if this qn seems lame!
:P

Why are there 2 versions, HSDPA 2100 for Europe/Asia and HSDPA 850 / 1900 for Americas? I live in the US but travel to Europe, I need a phone that will work world wide!

it is unlikely that the 16gb will not be seen in the uk at a subsidized price though one of the various commnuications networks phones4u state that the omnia comes in 8 and 16 gb varieties futhermore a recent press release
(http://press.samsungmobile.com/press.view.do?messageId=201)
confirms its european release and emphises the two distinct models. with the iphone comming in 8 and 16 gb the omnia will need to compete with its mutimedia capacity i once again state that it is unlikely the uk will not see a 16 gb model. estimation of an end of august release.
telecommunications companys and mobile telephone vendors will make more money from the lower capacity model as it is cheeper for them to buy and its selling price is lower so more people will buy, thus their profit margin is higher the 16 gb model will only be sold once there is a need for companys to market it against competitors.

I do not understand. I live in the states, i have a k850i with AT&T and 3G works just fine.

Just gleaned the following from www.tracyandmatt.co.uk:
"Today I heard some news though, that comes as something of a disappointment. Apparently Samsung are not going to release the 16GB version of the Omnia in the UK, only the 8GB version.
We now have official pricing for the 8GB unit. It will be £399 + VAT, with first stock arriving 18th August."
So there you have it if you're waiting for the Omnia in the UK - can't believe they're not releasing the 16GB version. Let's hope they're not going to do the favourite trick of record companies and six months down the line release it with extra tracks i.e. extra memory. Wouldn't put it past them......
