Mobile Review posted up a detailed preview of the OmniaHD (i8910) last month with quite a few pictures of the phones itself as well as its interface. It’s worth remembering that the version they played with was only a prototype, but it gives a good idea of what is to be expected.

Their basic conclusions were that this is a phone that will mainly appeal to hardware geeks, given the price tag. I imagine it will come down to marketing more than anything else. For example the last tech heavy phone that Samsung released, Samsung i8510, was not marketed as much as the the original Omnia was (certainly here in the in the UK anyway). Therefore it did not gain the kind of exposure that other Samsung lines got. Also, there were a few mobile networks that the i8510 were just not on (T-Mobile being a major one). It’s all to be seen how much Samsung want to push this one.
