On the brink of launching its first Windows Phone 7 device, Samsung follows its roadmap schedule and launches a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 smartphone, the Omnia Pro 4, in Germany. The device does not offer the possibility to upgrade its OS to Windows Mobile 7, so you should only get it in case you're satisfied with the current state of Microsoft's OS.
Announced in June 2010, together with Samsung
Omnia Pro 5, the Omnia Pro 4 is also known as Samsung Omnia 735.
The Windows-based smartphone comes with a standard 2.62-inches TFT resistive touchscreen (320 x 320 pixels resolution) with 65K colors support, and a full
QWERTY keyboard.
Samsung Omnia Pro 4 measures 117.7 x 59.8 x 11.9 mm and features a candybar form factor.
It sports a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus, geo-tagging, face and smile detection, as well as a secondary CIF front camera for video calls and snapshots.
Other key features of the smartphone include:
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support, microUSB 2.0, Push Email, Instant Messaging, Stereo FM radio with RDS, GPS with A-GPS support, Adobe Flash Lite.
Omnia Pro 4 comes with the full Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 package: Word Mobile 2010, Excel Mobile 2010, PowerPoint Mobile 2010, OneNote Mobile 2010 and SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010.
Besides the 200 MB internal memory, Samsung
Omnia Pro 4 also includes a microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
The smartphone can be bought in Germany for no less than 299 Euro(approx. $380), free of contract.
Samsung Omnia Pro 4 comes right after the two Bada-phones, Samsung
Wave 2 and Wave Pro, have been launched in Germany at the beginning of the month.
The Korean handset manufacturer is yet to announce the availability of Omnia Pro 4's sibling, the Omnia Pro 5, which will probably be launched at the end of August.
