We’re used to seeing phones drop in price six months after their introduction, but six days might be a new record. Following Verizon’s introduction of the Samsung Omnia last Tuesday, the company has lowered the price on the smartphone from $250 to $200.
Verizon dropped the pre-rebate price on the phone from $320 to $270, and kept its $70 mail-in rebate offer for a final price of the $200. This puts the Omnia in the same territory as AT&T’s iPhone 3G, and its own BlackBerry Storm.
Besides a 5-megapixel camera, the Omnia didn’t offer much to justify the $50 premium over other such popular smartphones (or Samsung’s $150 AT&T-exclusive Eternity) likely leading to the price drop.
