Samsung Omnia 2 i8000 leaked

Ahoy hoy, Samsung Omnia 2. This little leak, just a few days ahead of Communicasia, brought the follow-up to last year's Omnia i900 to our attention. GSMArena picked up on the leak, which came with the unintentional best regards from a phone retailer out in Lithuania.
The phone is running Windows Mobile, has a 94mm (3.7-inch) touchscreen (resistive, as Windows Mobile doesn't yet support capacitive screens), an 8.1-megapixel camera with LED flash and a poor 150MB of microSD-expandable internal memory. We're also expecting 3.5G HSDPA connectivity for 7.2Mbps web browsing, GPS and Wi-Fi. Pretty much the standard for this sort of phone in 2009, although the lack of a xenon flash is a major shame.
It appears to run Samsung's Windows Mobile overlay, but the traditional WinMo issue remains: wrapping a lump of coal in attractive wrapping paper doesn't make a lump of coal any nicer a present. And so our hopes remain neutral, in contrast to the Symbian-running Samsung i8910 HD, previously known as the Omnia HD, which we scored an "excellent" 8.4 out of 10.
All being well, we're expecting to see the Omnia 2 at Samsung's event next week during Communicasia in Singapore.

This is not the Omnia HD commented on 15/06/2009 16:11
What is this? If you look at GSM's preview of the phone (the Omnia HD), infofromation is a lot different. EG,Symbian S60 5th edition not WinMo, and what about its main feature: HD video recording?

if all of this leaked info is correct... i wonder if phone companies actually listen to what people want, i.e. large internal memory, flash. how hard could these 2 things be. i guess the expandable memory is ok but a 7.1 mp camera and no flash how hard could that be
