With 624MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, 3.2-inch touchscreen and other nifty features, a lot of hackers felt Omnia’s prowess was being wasted with Windows Mobile 6.1 and thus, they have initiated a project called the Andromnia – to install Android OS on Omnia.

The goal is still faraway but a major step realizing their goal is the latest advancement that allows to dual boot Windows Mobile with Android. The device supported touchscreen display with random freezing, full RAM support but was not able to use the camera or phone.

UPDATE: Samsung has postponed the announcement.

We already knew this and now Samsung has decided to do it the official way. On June 11 in Milan they’ll show their new offspring created along with the fashion brand. Microsoft’s name in the press conference makes it clear that the phone will be based on Windows Mobile.

One more touchscreen phone from Samsung has been spotted in the wild. Thanks to the same source, we got to know Samsung’s new WinMo offering confirmed for China Mobile. The B7300 is powered by WinMo 6.1 and features TouchWiz UI. Good thing about this phone is that Samsung has left its proprietary USB connector in lieu of mini USB. There’s also a 3MP camera, microSD card slot, dedicated camera button and 4 way center button.
