The Samsung Instinct is out today, but while Sprint will be focusing on the Haptic-enhanced touchscreen experience the Instinct will bring its customers, handset maker Samsung has a new model in mind. Dubbed, Omnia, the touchscreen SGH-i900 is the first Windows Mobile phone to have DivX certification. We know a lot of DivX-playing portable devices but this is certainly the first on Windows Mobile platform and the Omnia is one of the few portables I know of that does not only play encode DivX but decode it as well. The screen is a decent 3.2 inches. It has a 5 megapixel camera and GPS with geotagging. The phone is equipped with TV out and comes in 8GB and 16GB versions.
