Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 Moblie Phone Review – Packed with Features


At first glace the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 looks like the perfect phone, especially for people who want everything at once. It’s loaded with lots of goodies and popular features, So at first sight it looks like it would have everything you need. Unfortunately the Windows OS is outdated and the touch screen is hard to use.

Apperance:

The Omnia Pro looks sophisticated with its 3.5 inch 16 million color AMOLED touch screen and the QWERTY keyboard the slides out. The nicely rounded black interior and the easy to use textured buttons just add to the sophistication. But this is not a small phone, weighing in at 159g.


The downfall of this phone is the Windows 6.5 interface. It’s hard to use. Even though the large screen with all its widgets may looks good you can easily mess it up by turning the phone to landscape mode or by an accidental finger swipe. And to make matters worse, the user interface is out dated, and slow. The widgets could have been so much better if they just paid a little more attention to them. The touch screen can often be unresponsive making it hard to access features, you end up using a stylus or your fingernails. However, the phone does have two home screens, one for work and one for play.


Camera:


The Omnia’s camera will give you sharp and clear pictures. Its 5 megapixels with auto focus, LED flash, geo tagging and a photo editing feature. There is also Best Shot and Panorama Shot. There is a second camera for video and video calling.

Sound:

The sound quality is clear and crisp. Omnia Pro offers an FM radio, media player, RDS, polyphonic and MP3 ringtones and Digital Natural Sound Engine. You also get extra music storage and the coveted 3.5mm headphone jack which will allow you to listen to your tunes with your favorite set of headphones.

Internet Connectivity:

To keep you connected the Omnia gives you quad band technology, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G HSDPA, HSCSD, WLAN, GPRS and more. You also get email, A GPS, RSS feed, document viewer, opera Mini Browser, downloadable games and even more.

Memory and Talk time:

You might have to keep your charger close, because you only get 12 hours of talk time and 580 hours of standby. You won’t have much room for storage either, with only one gigabyte of memory. You do however, get a micro SD card with 32 gigabytes, this should help.

Conclusion:

The Samsung Omnia Pro 7610 gives you a great camera, fast internet connectivity and a variety of music options. We feel that this phone could have been so much better, there is a lot of wasted potential here. Unfortunately, the out-dated OS, short battery life and hard to use screen are very disappointing. Although it might not be that enticing, it has a lot of best free phone deals which gives great discounts and of course give you big savings.
