In an interesting choice of timing, Samsung unveiled this slick touchscreen phone Monday morning, just before Apple's debut of the 3G iPhone. Also interesting: Samsung already has an iPhone competitor--its Instinct, which will launch on Sprint on June 20. The two phones could be part of a broader global strategy, with the Omnia targeting Asia and Europe.
