Whilst we have been focused on the sim-free i8910 Omnia HD release in the UK, it looks like it has already quietly launched in Italy. A few people have already managed to get hold of the 8GB i8910 with pricing around the €499 mark (cheaper than the UK, Play.com has it for £529.99). The phone should be available from a number of Italian retailers including Euronics, Monclick and MediaWorld.

One of the users of the HWUpgrade.it forum has posted some unboxing pictures of the sim-free version. The pictures are not the clearest having been taken on a mobile phone. Interestingly, there seems to be no key-ring stand that is included in the Orange i8910 HD. All of the pictures are attached after the break. If anything, hopefully this news means that the sim-free version should start to appear in other regions very soon.

Via Spazio Cellulare.
