They're apparently not for sale yet -- stores don't even know what the pricing situation is -- but Verizon has starting shipping Samsung Omnias to at least some of its stores.

If the BlackBerry Storm's $199. 99 retail price on contract after rebate isn't sitting particularly well with you, there's an alternative you may want to investigate.
