A couple of new live shots as well as spec info of the upcoming Samsung T659 Scarlet have recently appeared on CellPhoneSignal. According to the source, the phone will feature:

The FCC has approved a version of the Samsung Omnia II (i8000L) with support for North American 3G bands - WCDMA bands II and V. The thing is that it's not coming to the U.S. Carriers in Latin America use these bands too, and the phone is destined to that market. However, nothing prevents you from bringing one of these in the U.S. or Canada and use it on either AT&T or Rogers.

Samsung has announced the upcoming release of the WiMAX-capable MID called Mondi on Sprint’s Clearwire network in Atlanta, Las Vegas and Portland.

It will be available at Best Buy at $349 on a 2-year Clearwire contract, or $449 outright starting August 1st.
