Both devices share a similar candy bar form factor with portrait oriented physical keyboards that made them resemble tall BlackBerry handsets. The B7350 Omnia Pro 4 has a 2.6 inch TFT touch screen display with a square 320 x 320 pixel resolution. Using Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, the device comes complete with the new Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 and Office Communicator Mobile. The phone also boasts a 3.2 mega pixel snapper with an additional front facing camera for handling video calls.

The Samsung B6520 Omnia Pro 5 smart phone has slightly lower specs and is slimmer than the B7350. The screen on the Pro 5 is smaller at 2.4 inches and it has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The phone’s 2 mega pixel camera is also good for taking quick snapshots for uploads and it also has 220 MB of internal storage is both large and convenient for storing small images and some music files.

This handset makes use of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard edition. Like the Omnia Pro 4 smart phone, it will be pre-installed with Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 and Office Communicator Mobile.

The announcement of new WinMo smart phones is bringing back attention to Microsoft’s earlier promise that they would continue to support and developer the older OS despite the pending launch of the Windows Phone 7 operating system. Both Samsung Windows Mobile smart phones are expected to be launched sometime around August of this year.

Anyway, it looks like this is going to be one hell of a phone. And we mean that in both senses of the term ‘looks’. First, and most impressively of all, is the screen. At a whopping 3.7” the active matrix OLED (AMOLED) display is the largest OLED screen you can find on any mobile device, whether phone or dedicated media player. The 800 x 480 pixel resolution is really sharp and crystal clear with deep blacks giving a fantastic contrast to everything. Secondly, though, it’s the actual interface that has impressed us most. Running the new 2.0 version of TouchWiz, Samsung’s touchscreen-specfic interface that uses the Windows Mobile platform and turns it into something special, we think this is one of the best looking UI’s you’ll find. Totally customisable, very intuitive, and just plain fun to boot, TouchWiz is one of the best ways to interact with your phone we know about

There’s also an 8.1 megapixel camera onboard the Samsung Omnia 2 I8000, video recording up to WVGA resolution, to match the built-in 800 by 480 pixel screen, all your usual GPS, WiFi, 3.5G HSDPA connectivity for top notch 7.2Mbps Web browsing and a beast of a battery to make sure all this can be handled. There’s no final word yet on how much internal strorage the Samsung Omnia 2 I8000 will be packing, but our educated guess is there’ll be at least a couple of options around the 8-16GB area, with plenty of room to expand a great deal with MicroSD cards.

All-in-all, it’s probably not going to come cheap, but we think this little (or rather, huge) thing is going to be worthy every penny. Check out a Samsung Omnia 2 review here, or have a little squizz at this video

Aiming to be a lighter version of the all-powerful Omnia series, the Samsung Omnia Lite doesn’t excel in any particular department but certainly doesn’t fall short either. The 3.0” display’s not all that hot, nor is the 3 megapixel camera, but it is packing 3.5G, A-GPS, WiFi and up to 3.6mbps on HSDPA. And it’s in the looks department that the Samsung Omnia Lite really improves on the rest of the Omnia range. Where they are mostly bulky and almost brick like (some of them, at least), this is very slim, with nice brushed metal features and a cool patten effect on the back. In fact, at 107 x 52 x 13mm this is one of the smallest smartphones around. And at just over 103 grams it’s also one of the lightest.

The Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 also comes with the latest version of TouchWiz, Samsung’s adaptation of the User Interface that not features on all Samsung touchscreen devices. This is a piece of software that gets better every time we see it, and you’ll no doubt love all the customisable functions it has. Did we mention the 3D multimedia player, multi-push email access, access to the Microsoft Office Suite…

So all in all, things look pretty decent for the Lite B7300. Check out a full Samsung Omnia Lite review here for more stats and figures. And keep an eye out for a Q4 2009 release date.

The reason the screen’s so special on this thing is that it’s an AMOLED, which stands for “active-matrix organic light-emitting diode”. As you all knew. The best thing about this new piece of kit is that it is not only ultra thin and bright, but because it doesn’t require a backlight it is low-power and (relatively) low-cost. So expect an impressively juicy display for not a huge amount of money when the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 gets released sometime in October. At some point this kind of technology will make it to your TV screens too – just picture wafer thin Plasmas hanging from your walls and you’ll see the future is very bright indeed.

Aside from the screen, the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 smartphone also has a decent sized slide-out QWERTY, 5 megapixel camera, 3.5G support, TV-out, WiFi, GPS and all the other expected features, so it’s going to be a fully fledged member of the smartphone family.
