Because in our days mobile phones are an indispensable accessory and the touch screen technology is proven to be very useful, the Samsung Company came with a new mobile phone named Samsung Omnia Pro B7610. This model is similar to the Samsung Jet but it has more interactive features.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 is a side slider mobile phone that comes with a full QWERTY keyboard. At 112.6 x 57.8 x 16.2 mm dimensions and 159 g total weight, this mobile phone looks very slim and light for a side slider phone. When you slide the phone up you will see large buttons which are arranged on 4 rows so you can easily write SMS or other texts.

The resistant plastic case with rounded corners and the red light-reflecting design elements make this phone look extraordinarily. The 3.5 inch AMOLED display which supports 16 million colors occupies almost entire front face. The screen has a native resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and you will from the perfectly clear and great quality images. On the left and right side you will find the screen lock/unlock button, the volume rocker, camera shutter and another button used to switch between Life and Work profiles.

The Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 is a Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a Touch Wizz 2.0 interface which makes it more personalized than the older models. Like the previous Samsung Omnia model, this phone has a 5 Megapixel camera which takes photos at a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. The integrated LED flash, autofocus, smile detection, ISO sensitivity and white balance helps you get the perfect photos even if you are in a poorly lit room. With this camera you can record clips with VGA resolution at 30 fps which is pretty low for a contemporary mobile phone with such a lot of performance.



But let’s talk about connectivity. The Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 is a Quad-band GSM phone which supports 3G with HSDPA and EDGE connectivity. The standard microUSB port, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and the Wi-Fi with DLNA feature allows you to stay in touch with your friends in any circumstances. Other features like the GPS with a-GPS, TV-out functionality or Built-in accelerometer make this phone one of the best gadgets on the market.

With a 800 MHz processor with a dedicated graphics accelerator and 256 MB of RAM memory, this gadget looks like a Pocket PC more than a mobile phone. The 2 GB of integrated free memory is more than sufficient for a mobile phone, but if you want more space, you can upgrade the memory up to 32 GB with a microSD card.



The integrated stereo speakers produce clear and quality sound but, if you want an even better sound quality, you have a standard 3.5 mm audio jack which allows you to attach any external speakers you want. The standard Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery will keep this mobile up for 6 hours and 48 minutes of conversations and up to 480 hours in standby mode. So if you want a top mobile phone and are willing to pay $662 we recommend that you choose this model because it has all you need.

Samsung Omnia is a smartphone that is easy to use. It has a ultra slim design of only 12.5 mm and is chrome. The phone comes with push email technology (new email is instantly and actively transferred to your mobile phone – when you have a new email you get a notification call from your email server). For those passionate about photography, this phone is equipped with 5 Mega Pixels camera with autofocus, which provides functions for detecting face and even smile, and automatic triggering. Its camera has also image stabilization, video, flash and a secondary camera for video call.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The first thing to take into account and also the most obvious is the display, a generous 3.2 inch touchscreen  that does not necessarily require a stylus so you could utilize it and it responds very specifically to the actions carried out with the finger. The main menu consists in a vertical bar located in the far left and it contains the so called widgets icons that launch your favorite applications running.

What you could like is that the menu runs in the vertical bar and does not cover all phone screen. When  you need one or more programs, you simply have to use the “drag and drop” technique to get them on the desktop and from there you can launch them with a simply click. When you don’t need them, you can use the same technique to remove them from that bar. Along with widgets, you can also find the classic interface Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and an “oldies” menu with several icons placed in a matrix.

Most importantly on a smartphone is the speed of execution and navigation, and Samsung Omnia can not disappoint you at this chapter. But it is true that if you want to run the menu this will be made with lower frame rates, not so fine as in the case of iPhone. Applications, most of them can be opened immediately with the exception of a photo editor (Frame Photo Editor) that runs a bit slower then the rest. The accelerometer works perfectly, passing from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa is accomplished accurately and with an interesting 3D graphic effects.



Internet connection is via HSDPA or Wi-Fi. Samsung Omnia comes with two preinstalled browsers, Opera Mobile and Internet Explorer. It has a very useful implementation- the zoom into the page. This can be made by drawing vertical lines (up and down directions) with your finger, into the far right of the touchscreen, were a bar will appear and that will show you how much you gradually increase or decrease the webpage.

Multimedia side is also very well set. Samsung Omnia is running XviD, DivX and other movie formats without giving you headaches because it was build with a lot of codecs. The camera produces pictures above the average cell in the same category. Once you captured an image, printing is easy trough Bluetooth to a printer that is equipped with this technology.

So it’s clear that Samsung Omnia is a great phone. And what could be more wonderful than personalizing your phone at will, with accessories available on the market.

This phone is a smartphone dedicated to the business class. However, due to many multimedia applications, the Samsung i900 Omnia may be the ideal phone dedicated to the entertainment. Omnia competes with the iPhone and with HTC Diamond. Samsung i900 Omnia’s strengths are the design, the connectivity and the Windows Mobile operating system. The device is one of the most beautiful terminals that have this operating system. If you think you want to buy Samsung Omnia you should definitely read the review.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Samsung i900 Omnia is a candybar that measures 112 x 56.9 x 12.5 mm and weighs 122 grams. As expected, the front screen is occupied by the 3.2 inches touchscreen, with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and 256,000 colors. Above the screen, we find the speakerphone, the light sensor and the secondary VGA camera for video calls.

Below are screen we find the D-pad, which has 3 physical buttons. The Answer and Reject call keys are positioned on the extremities, and the joystick is in the middle. The Reject call key is also the button, which locks the phone, and the middle key becomes a mouse to navigate through the phone, very useful if the user is not an adept of the stylus.

On the left side we found the peripheral attachments slot (such as the charger, the headphones and the USB cable). The right side is filled with a main menu shortcut button, the volume control keys and the camera shutter button. On the top side, we see the key, which starts / shuts down the terminal and a "hidden" button for reset. The bottom side has only one hole, which is the microphone. Only the five megapixel camera and its flash are found the backside. The plastic surface is matte, a beneficial thing, because the fingerprints do not take away the terminal’s good looks.

We should also mention that the battery is under the cap. A standard Lithium-Ion battery powers Samsung i900 Omnia with a capacity of 1440 mAh, which in theory lasts up to 500 hours in standby mode and about 6 hours of talk time. The first uses of the phone will drain the battery very quickly. However, after a few charges, Samsung i900 Omnia has a long life and holds within the time mentioned by the company.

Samsung Omnia runs with Windows Mobile 6.1, which is the latest version. Unlike HTC Diamond, the phone is doing much better when it comes to browsing through the menus. The terminal has a Marvell PXA312 processor of 624MHz, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB ROM, plus the 8 GB (or 16 GB) of internal memory. It is worth mentioning that the phone’s display must be calibrated well in the first place. It is recommended to use the stylus. If it was not successful, you will be surprised to see that the touch screen does not respond correctly to your commands.

Unlike the iPhone, this phone supports MMS. In addition, we have the standard SMS, EMS messages, plus e-mail and instant messaging. In this case, SMS, EMS and MMS and the e-mails have a common inbox, uncommon for Windows Mobile, but BlackBerry users already know it. For some users, the e-mail from Windows Mobile does not present any secrets, for the rest, it is used in the same way as with other phones, you set your mail first, and after that, you will have the mailbox at your service. If you feel that the text is too small or too big, you have the zoom in or zoom out function. The e-mail service from Samsung i900 Omnia supports the standard protocols POP3 and IMAP with push e-mail functions. It is true that the first messages sent this way will take you longer than expected. Samsung i900 Omnia's screen has haptic reaction, and when keys are pressed, the user will have a reaction of vibration. If the motion sensor is activated, Omnia’s keyboard will be displayed depending on the position of the phone, vertical or horizontal.

As a business phone, the music player from Samsung Omnia looks well. As a multimedia phone, things are not so pink. The problem is that the sound is not the best one possible, no matter at what level you will keep the volume whether or not the headphones are attached. They cannot play the bass sounds and even if the volume is up you will have hearing problems, especially if you are on the street.

The music player supports MP3, AAC, AAC +, WMA, OGG and AMR files. The phone sorts the saved songs by album, artist, or genre. Unfortunately, the player does not support equalizer functions, shuffle or repeat. The video formats supported by Samsung Omnia are DivX, XviD, WMV and MP4. If you are tired of the music stored on the 8 GB of internal memory, you can try the phone’s FM radio. You can scan automatically for radio stations, but you can manually search for them too. In addition, the phone will show on the screen the selected radio station.

Samsung i900 Omnia has a 5 megapixels camera that can capture images at a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. In addition, the camera has flash, autofocus and image stabilizer, which can only make us happy. The quality of the pictures is very good. The autofocus does its job and the image stabilizer helps a lot when photos are made very close.

We should mention the fact that the plastic lens that protects the camera can get dirty very easy and can preserve fingerprints. Before capturing an image, make sure that the lens is clean to avoid surprises at the end. The camera has a variety of shooting modes, such as single, burst, mosaic, wide or smile (smile detection technology).

The video capture can be made in three modes: normal mode, MMS or slow motion. The maximum resolution for capturing videos is 640 x 480 pixels and the minimum resolution is 176 x 144 pixels (QCIF resolution). The video focus can be automatically or macro and videos are saved in an MP4 format.

Samsung i900 Omnia has GPRS Class 12 with download speeds ranging between 32 - 48 kbps, EDGE Class 12 with download speeds of 236.8 kbps, 3G HSDPA (7.2 Mbps), Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g, Bluetooth version 2.0 with A2DP and a miniUSB port. Surfing the Internet is easy, because Samsung Omnia has the Windows browser, Internet Explorer, as well as the Opera Mini or the WAP 2.0 with XHTML and HTML support.

The data transfer is also very easy to be made, using the Bluetooth or the USB. The USB cable is also a charger, but leaving aside this issue, when the cable is connected to the PC, you can choose between Active Sync and Disk Drive. Unfortunately, the first option requires installing drivers from the software CD found in the package. Unfortunately, even if you select the "Mass Storage Device", the computer will give an error and will not see your attachment. The Active Sync from the CD must be installed if you want to make data transfers between the PC and the phone and vice versa. Thus, you have the ability to store music, pictures and movies that you need on the phone. The transfer is quick so you will not grow old in front of your PC.

Samsung Omnia comes with a built-in GPS receiver, and the information returns, for the aGPS can be downloaded via Wi-Fi or 2G/3G connectivity. The phone also comes with Google Maps pre-installed that can handle very well, and the visibility on the screen is very good because the phone screen is big enough.

I hope, after reading this, you now know if you really want to buy Samsung Omnia or not.

Samsung i900 Omnia is one of the best smartphones currently available on the market. Samsung has come up with new features for a smartphone, such as cursor movement using the touchpad, a high-resolution camera and a fast processor. The phone can be used both for multimedia lovers, but also for business people.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Samsung i900 Omnia's main competitor is HTC Touch Diamond. Even if it is slightly wider and taller than other smartphones, it is simultaneously very thin. It weighs 122 grams.

At a first look, the cover appears metallic, but it is actually plastic, a quality plastic. The phone has keys for answering and rejecting calls, an optical mouse cursor sensor. On the sides, it has the button for starting or shutting down the phone, the main menu key, the camera button and the volume control keys. On the back side of the phone, we find the 5 Megapixels camera.

The user interface is the same Windows Mobile 6.1 Interface. Samsung has made a special menu for this operating system that starts when you press the main menu button.

Unlike the HTC Diamond and other smartphones that use the stylus, Samsung Omnia 8GB has it on the outside. It can be hanged with a phone cord through a particular slot.

The keyboard can be seen in three different ways: a full QWERTY keyboard, the version with two letters per key and a version of the classical phones, three letters on each number key. The last version has the largest buttons. The QWERTY version is the most intuitive for those accustomed to the PC but has smaller keys.

The camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels. The pictures can be compared to those made with a Nokia N95 phone. They are very good both in natural light as well as in low light conditions, because of the flash. The phone can record a video at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels with 30 frames per second or at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels with 15 frames per second.

About the applications speed, Samsung Omnia 8GB has a good processor and enough memory to work quickly, without having any failures or without slowing down the applications.

The display is the weak link, because it has a non-standard resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. You may experience problems in some applications designed for 240 x 320 resolutions. In addition, there are problems in strong light.

The standard agenda from Windows Mobile is good and it easily synchronizes with Microsoft Outlook.

We only have one multimedia file browser, which manages the images, the music and the movies. The images are displayed very well on the big screen. To zoom in or out a picture, it is sufficient to only move up or down with your finger (like in the iPhone). The phone has an accelerometer, so it automatically switches to landscape mode if the phone is turned horizontal.

Samsung Omnia 8GB does not have a 3.5 mm audio jack directly on it, but it has a 3.5 mm audio jack adapter. Therefore, you can change without problems the original headphones found in the box, with some better headphones, if you use them together with the adapter.

The video files are played without interruptions due to the fast processor. The phone also has a pre-installed DivX codec.

The phone has the Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System pre-installed. The calendar is similar to the Outlook one. You can easily define both the meeting events, and the to-do. It can easily synchronize with the Microsoft Outlook on your PC. The Mobile Office programs are also present. Those are Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. Other useful programs that are preinstalled are the RSS Reader, the Podcast Manager, the Video Editor and some applications from Google (such as search engine, e-mail, Google Maps).

Samsung Omnia 8GB has a GPS system, but the navigation software is missing. There is the Google Maps application pre-installed though, but you can install the navigation software separately.

Samsung i900 Omnia is equipped with GPRS, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, WiFi, with which you can connect to the Internet through a mobile operator or through a hotspot. The phone has two pre-installed browsers: Internet Explorer and Opera Mobile 9.5, the last one having a higher speed in loading web pages. One problem would be that the Flash player is pretty old. The protocols supported for sending emails are POP3, IMAP and SMTP. The phone does not have infrared port, but it has Bluetooth instead. The people from Samsung have chosen to use their own format for a USB port, so they are using a data cable different from the USB or USB 2 standards.

What we did like about this phone
- The CPU is fast, making applications run without interruptions
- The touchscreen has a high quality
- The camera takes very good pictures both in strong natural light and in low light conditions
- The large internal memory

What we did not like about this phone:
- The screen's resolution is average, and the non-standard screen size can lead to problems in some applications
- The phone does not have a place to hold the stylus.
