Re: .:Verizon Samsung Omnia Possible On Sprint Network!!???:.

The scenario that you posted is way different. Both of those devices are CDMA and both of those devices exist with both providers. There simply aren't any resources on the Sprint side to accommodate your request.

HTC devices are very customizable. You literally can reprogram them for every single carrier that uses that technology. Samsung is not that way. Their devices are no way near as customizable as Samsung's.

Right now the Omnia doesn't exist for Sprint. They may get it, they may not. Who knows?? They may way have Samsung make them a different device. For example, Samsung Glyde came out for Verizon, Samsung Instinct came out for Sprint. Same device infrastructure, but very different devices.

Right now there is no software(ROM or Radio), no specifications, schematics, as to what would be needed to make it work. You would have to unlock the MSL, which isn't terribly hard. You just have to set it to 000000. The hard part is getting Sprint to recognize the ESN Block. That may never happen depending if they get the device or not.

You will have to wait until Sprint gets the Omnia to determine what is needed to activate it. Right now there is nothing you can do. You can of course sell it or activate on VZW.
