CDMA Samsung OMNIA, maybe...

EDIT: (rewritten for clarity)

So I saw this:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/29/fcc-fridays/

After some digging, I found that the Samsung SCH-i910 is the Cellular/CDMA PCS version of the Samsung OMNIA i900.

The most concrete proof I can point to is that if you load the FCC Label Diagram for the i900 and the i910 into a PDF Editor (foxit editor for example) you can see the diagram without the "white" area covering the features. The i910 matches the i900 GSM OMNIA except there is no SIM card (of course).

The diagram confirms that there is a microSD slot. The other related PDFs at the FCC filing confirm WLAN, Bluetooth, CDMA, and EvDO are all features.

Maybe someone smarter than me can tell which carrier could handle this phone, because I can't see any indication of which CDMA provider might be picking this phone up...perhaps none at this point.

Other "News": http://www.cellphonesignal.com/samsu...-a-cdma-omnia/ (I don't know what their source is for their claims, but found it interesting!)
EDIT: Here, have a look at the back diagram that went to the FCC: http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/4...diagramkz6.gif (It shows up in the PDF if you use a PDF Editor to get past the white boxes covering it.)

So now we know the base model number: SCH-i910 and the FCC ID is: A3LSCHI910 plus we know a few of the basic features are confirmed. This is very neat.

I hope some more detailed information becomes available soon!

I really like the HTC Diamond and Touch Pro that are coming out, but the Omnia might make me reconsider. (The Omnia has a slightly larger screen than the Diamond and a lower resolution so it could be a little fuzzier, but the better camera that might be on the Omnia with the possible on-board 8gb or 16gb memory storage is enticing)
