Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO preview: First look

20 July 2009
Samsung are not quite the standard-setter in communicator devices but are obviously keen to have their say. Playing catch up seems well in order for a debut but we guess someone here is set to play for keeps. The Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO is a generously spec’d device that’s poised to tackle the best in the class and even raise the bet...

      I made my pre-order some time ago. Yesterday my friend from major IT warehouse in Poland said: Omnia II - 23 August probably, so quiet you can hear a pin drop about Omnia Pro.

              Why won't Samsung release the B7610 in the US?

                    To the best of my knowledge, there is not a single store in the world selling them, yet. So, I assume they were preproduction units or you just having good "connections"?

                      So can you please tell me if the OmniaPro has stereo speakers AKA 2 speakers?

                      How loud and what are the quality of the speakers especially interested in music/movies?

                      Thank you very much!

                        I have both the TP2 and OmniaPRO here. Samsung device wins hands-down. If you play with them both, there is no way you can choose the TP2 over the OP. The OP is soooo much faster. Ok, it lacks TF3D, but the Samsung software is also nice (though it still needs some optimisation - it's not as fast as it could be on these phones - same with OII).

                        This is an absolute TP2 KILLER.

                            Oh I forgot to add:

                            HTC devices don't have hardware 3D acceleration implemented (driver). There is also no hardware video acceleration except for very few formats.

                            This Samsung has all this plus because it's powered by an 800Mhz should have no problems playing all types of videos without dropped frames.

                            Can anyone tell me if this has stereo speakers built in? And what is the quality?

                              This has to be the best and most underrated phone?

                              I've just sold my Touch HD which was a great device but the only negative was the poor camera and video cam.

                              This phone seems to do the lot. I don't see any negative except sunlight legibility.

                              I even like the fact more is done to cover up windows mobile whereas on the HTC devices with it's sleek TouchFlo you still see quite a bit of windows UI.

                              The fact it's smaller and lighter than the TP2 is another big plus.

                              Anyone see what I see. This is the new King... lol

                                  But for my own patience I'll expect it more towards the end of August.
                                  Earlier will be a bonus.

                                      I had mine omnia pro pre-ordered 3 weeks ago. I'm holding out hope that it will at least be delivered
                                      in the month August and not September like some other countries say.
