Phones and more phones

After only being out in the Asia market for about two months, a second version of the Samsung T*Omnia was introduced on Monday in Korea. The upgrades on this phone includes a wider screen with high resolution for multimedia functions.

T*Omnia is going up against Apple's I-Phone 3G but Microsoft Steve Ballmer points out how the T*Omnia offers more extensive features than the 3G. T*Omnia comes with a five-megapixel camera with WI-FI, GPS, bluetooth and the microsoft office program, which allows PC users to transfer compatible files with ease.

Ballmer said, “I like the T*Omnia phone because it brings together communications, productivity, multimedia, and entertainment in a way that meets the needs of both consumers and mobile professionals.”

Samsung is currently negociating a deal with America for the T*Omnia to be distributed within the states. If the deal comes through, the U.S. will be seeing this phone on shelves at the end of this month.
