Samsung Omnia W preorder begins to be available by the end of december

Omnia W or the Lumia 710 ?

The Samsung Omnia W, first WP7 handset from Samsung for Indian customers will finally be available in the India markets by the end of December but you can  preorder it now online at flipkart.com for a price of 20,999 Rs.

Quick Specifications:

•  Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) OS
•  5 MP Primary Camera
•  0.3 MP Secondary Camera
•  3.7-inch Super AMOLED Capacitive Touchscreen
•  1.4 GHz Scorpion Processor
•  Wi-Fi Enabled
•  Social Networking Enabled

The Omnia W will definitely give the Nokia's Lumia 710 a tough competition, actually we will prefer this handset over the 710 as it is a little cheaper than 710 (710 will be about 22,000 Rs.) and it also has a front facing camera which the 710 lacks.Other features such as processor, GPU are all similar.

We just had a talk with a Nokia representative confirming the prices of the Lumia 710 and the 800 in India , The Lumia 710 will be priced at a price point of 21,000 Rs. The person was himself a little confused at first he said 20,000 then 21,000, we assume that the actual pricing will be 20,999 Rs. (or some thing like that).

The Nokia Lumia 800 will be priced at 29,999 Rs. But when we inquired about Nokia only apps, the representative said that "Apps can be downloaded from the market place". Maybe Nokia drive (Maps from Nokia) isn't available on the Indian version of the Lumia series. We will get to know it when we get a hands on!
