Improvements and color options for the Omnia
John Chan | Aug 04, 2008
For now, the Samsung Omnia SGH-i900 has 16GB of internal storage and comes only in black. This weekend, another choice will emerge as a white version will be released. The front of the device is the same as the black version but the back battery cover will take on the new shade.
That's not all. Later this month, the company will be releasing a new firmware which includes new widgets for the custom Home screen and a brand-new Hanyu Pinyin text input method for typing in Chinese characters.
Samsung can confirm these changes only for Singapore at the moment, and we are still awaiting word regarding the availability of the new firmware and color for Asia Pacific. We'll update this post as soon as we receive more information.

Woot...
Should provide both the black and white, front and back view for a good contrast of the phone. :)

Is this the information that we are waiting for? it seems like it was already made available early August.
Read in other forums that this upgrade is not at a 100% success rate so do it at your own risk.
