Verizon Wireless is giving its customers a bit of an early holiday gift by cutting the price on the Samsung Omnia, which debuted less than a week ago. Originally priced at $249.99, you can now get the touch-screen Windows Mobile smartphone for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a mail-in rebate.

Unfortunately, this drop comes a bit late for anyone who already ordered the Omnia online, but since the device won't hit stores till December 8, you'll save yourself 50 smackers. For more information on the smartphone, check out our full review of the Samsung Omnia.

To bad it still costs $30 or more for a data plan. Thats how much I pay for dsl and I can use the bandwidth on more than one device unlike cell phone plans.

I agree with the knock on the data plan fee, because it is excessive. What else could I get for $360, which is what I would save in a year? Hmmm...

I'll be glad when cell phones go back to model numbers... I can't keep track of all these cell phone models with names.
