Samsung Omnia 7 review

 

Does the best screen make this the best Windows Phone 7 handset?

High quality screen ; Slick and reponsive interface ; Comfortable design ; Passable camera quality ; Cool gaming experience

Cheap-feeling rear ; Slow internet browser with no Flash ; Mega-bright LED flash ; No worthwhile Samsung-added software on board ; Lack of microSD expansion

Samsung's take on Windows Phone 7 was always going to be tech-heavy – and that's proved to be the case.

Samsung Omnia 7

 

The Samsung Omnia 7 forms half of Orange's Windows Phone 7 offering, the other handset being the HTC 7 Mozart , the one with the 8-megapixel camera. In a world where Microsoft has defined the minimum hardware specs, differentiation in the world of...

The sensational display is the best of the Windows Phone bunch, great design, Office support, Windows Phone 7 is a great operating system

Camera performance not great, HD video is a little lacking, some apps still needed for Windows Phone 7 to complete the experience

The Samsung Omnia is a great Windows Phones 7 handset overall. It might not have the best camera options, but the screen is absolutely to die for. AMOLED displays aren’t the most common thing in the world of mobile phones, and we love the vibrancy that...

First Look: Samsung Omnia 7

 

With so many Windows Phone 7 handsets on the market from day one (21 October), trying to work out which is the best one to choose is a tough job. The Samsung Omnia 7 brings to the table a number of unique features it hopes will sway you over and above...

4-inch Super AMOLED screen, lightweight, solid build

Not much beyond the core spec

Samsung Omnia 7 review

 

Samsung holds the distinction of designing the flagship handsets in both the Android and Windows Phone 7 camps. The Galaxy S was used as the basis of the Google Nexus S, while the Samsung Omnia 7 is the most attractive of the Microsoft-based models....

A fantastic-looking Windows-based smartphone we’d be proud to pull out our jacket pocket, the Samsung Omnia 7 shows just how good photos and videos can appear. Although it’s slightly larger than we’d like, it’s only the underwhelming camera that...

Samsung Omnia 7 i8700 review

 

Is the Omnia 7's awesome AMOLED screen enough to out dazzle rival Windows Phone 7 smartphones?

Samsung Omnia 7

 

TechSmart gets its hands on the latest smartphone within Samsung's Omnia range, the Omnia 7, powered by Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 mobile OS.

Easy to use OS, fast processor, lots of internal storage, excellent display.

Design not the most stylish, synching via Zune, downloading Zune software, no microSD support and very few apps.

Samsung Omnia 7 Review

 

The Samsung Omnia 7 is Samsung's first Windows Phone 7 handset in South Africa. Does it hold their name high or does it fly the flag at half mast?

Windows Phone 7 may only be in its infancy, but it’s clear that Microsoft won’t go quietly into the night.
