The folks at Samsung hold a surprise- a Windows Mobile 6.5, surely a music to the ears. Now the news comes from a Dutch customer claiming to receive an official e-mail from Samsung regarding the confirmation of the soon-to-be released OS on the Samsung Omnia i900. No word on the release date yet, but the whole approach seems very pragmatic as against HTC. Have a glance at what a user from samsung-omnia.org got:

“In your email you ask the question if Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released for the omnia. We can confirm that this is coming, however the exact release date is not known yet, therefore we advice you to keep an eye on www.samsungmobile.com.”

Though free update will be available for some of the HTC smartphones, still the Samsung move is much appreciated.
