Samsung Omnia Pro Revealed

Posted on: Posted on June 14, 2009 10:38 PM

Pictures of the Samsung Omnia Pro got briefly published recently, and it is reportedly the rumored B7610 Louvre back in April. Running Windows Mobile 6.1, this smart handset's impressive specs appears to have what it takes to appeal to business professionals and texters alike: wide 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 2 user interfaces (Pro and Media), Wi-Fi with DLNA support, Bluetooth, HSDPA/HSUPA, GPS, 5.1 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, 800 MHz CPU, FM Radio, MicroUSB, 1GB internal memory expandable to 32GB via microSDHC. For video lovers, it also comes with a TV out and 3.5mm headset jack and Divx/WMV/H.264 accelerations. One cannot help but wonder how does its 1500 mAh battery contain all that. Release date is currently unconfirmed due to some ROM issues, but we should be able to see it September or October this year.

A 3-year contract will net you the phone at $129.95, a 2-year contract will mean the phone costs $399.95 and you’ll have to pay $499.95 with a 1-year contract, or the whole $549.95 to buy the phone outright.

Samsung Omnia To Be WinMob Only

Posted on: Posted on April 8, 2009 11:27 AM

Some Windows Mobile fans are probably still smarting over previous news that Samsung’s Omnia could be running Symbian’s S60 operating system, and not Windows Mobile. The good news is that there looks like there is a resolution to all of this, as Samsung has decided to reserve the Omnia name for Windows Mobile phones only, and therefore has stripped the Omnia branding from the i8910. At least it will save us the trouble of trying to remember what mobile operating system is running on the Omnia in the future.
