What appears like a modified version of the current Samsung Omnia 7 was submitted to the FCC back in March 8 2011. The SGH-708 looks for the most part identical to the original GT-I8700 but sport what looks like a front facing camera and an added hardware button on the left side. Internally the device looks identical to the Omnia 7 and the battery cover notes that it is an i8700. The battery is also exactly the same 1600Mha model (SN : GB/TI82787-2000). From the looks of it this could either be the US version of the Omnia 7 (which was only released in Europe and Asia) because this deice supports WCDAM and CDMA bands….or it could simply be a development handset/prototype handset like the LG Panther, HTC Mazaa, Asus E600, Samsung Taylor (all were certified by the FCC..).
