Can Omnia HD Make Iphone Bleed?

Click link below for full story

The original Omnia was a beacon of multi-media goodness, would the additional HD on its new sibling dethrone the Apple Iphone. This time, good old Samsung is ditching Windows Mobile for the unproven Symbian Series 60 5th Edition(I'm pretty sure that the problems related to the OS would be resolved by a firmware upgrade.) If you don't mind not experiencing the brand spanking new Windows Mobile 6.5 then the Omnia HD would be a perfect phone for you. Why? because the monster can play 720p videos(hence the HD name!). For a look on how the phone looks and runs watch the video above.
