For some reason Google have pushed MyOmniapro.com way into a hidden corner in a search for ‘Omnia Pro’ so visibility of my information is quite restricted and there aren’t many of you reading this blog yet. It’s strange considering that this blog contains more Omnia Pro information than most but I’m not too worried about numbers. As long as a few people get some value from this info it’s ok. At the very least it’s making me think about my choice every time I write something about it!
One of the readers here is someone by the name of Carl and he needs a personal ‘thanks’ for me because he’s been doing a lot of pricing and availability tracking. Who needs loads of readers when there’s someone like Carl about!
Here’s what he has found.
Vodafone
The Dutch and German Vodafone operations will be carrying the Omnia Pro. In Holland, availability is stated as mid-August. [Link] In Germany, the Omnia Pro is showing up in the ‘coming soon’ section [Link] but there’s no date.
Bol.com
Bol.com are one of the first suppliers to show a date that’s more specific than ’soon’ or ‘August.’ In their Dutch shop they’ve listed the Omnia Pro as being available for 439 Euros (good price) in 5-10 work days. That’s 1-2 weeks which brings us into the early weeks of August. Maybe Holland is going to be one of the first countries to get it. If so, I might have to take a little drive up to Holland and check it out! Anyone in Holland ordered the Omnia Pro yet?
Omnia Pro Availability and RRP Update.
According to Samsung Belgium (via Unwired View,) the Omnia Pro will be available in Belgium in July at an RRP of 499 Euro.
Of course in Germany it’s been available at under 480 Euros for a few weeks now. When I ordered mine it was 462 Euros. Since then, it’s up to 477 Euros at Amazon Germany. SInce ordering though, a couple more online retailers in Germany have put it on their books. Cyberport, a big online retailer that I’ve used many times before, has it up for 450 Euros. [Via Geizhals price comparison.] I still haven’t seen any availability info for the UK or US.
Unwired View reminds us that the early Omnia’s will ship with Windows Mobile 6.1. There’s no word about when the 6.5 update will come but I wouldn’t expect anything before November.
A July delivery would be nice but I’m not holding my breath!
