Samsung's Omnia is far from being the first handset in its stable to grab the coveted DivX Certified badge, but it is the first with said badge to ship in the United States of America. What's it all mean? Pretty simple, really -- those lured in by the Omnia's boyish good looks and seductive touchpanel will have no issues playing back DivX video files on the 3.2-inch screen, regardless of whether those files are stored on the 8GB of internal space or on a microSD card. We probably speak for DivX fans across the web when we say that this is hopefully just the beginning of a long list of DivX-friendly phones to come stateside.
I'm not sure how exactly this is HD news, but that phone is hot.
I didn't see it in the article, but I can see the Verizon Wireless branding on it, so that might have to be my next phone.
Uh? this phone can do 720p?
This website states that the screen resolution is 240 x 400 px:

I can't believe how hard it was to find the specs on this phone. I was particularly interested in finding out if it had Wi-Fi capability, and that site says it does have 802.11 b/g.
Will the divx file have to be encoded at the screens resolution or will it just scale any old Divx file to fit the screen. If you have to re-encode it to the right resolution and frame rate then its a waste of time.
umm, the video out on this bad boy is intriguing... portable movie player? power points on projector? hmmm, sign me up, also has
