14 DAY TRIAL // According to the latest news on the Web, Korean mobile phone maker Samsung is on its way to come to the market with a new version of its popular Omnia handset, only that this time the device is reported to include a full QWERTY keyboard, coupled with a touchscreen-capable display.
In addition to the sliding QWERTY, it seems that the upcoming Omnia model will run under the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, yet it will also include Windows 6.5 upgrading features as soon as the new platform becomes available on the market.
The specification list of the new handset shows the 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display that can provide an 800 x 480 pixel WVGA resolution, the horizontal slide QWERTY keyboard and a 5-megapixel photo snapper that also includes auto focus, image stabilizer, flash and video, though there are no certain details in regard to the processor that has been included in the device, nor on the amount of RAM and ROM it should sport.
According to Hdblog.it, the new Samsung Omnia Pro should become available on the market starting this summer, in July, to be more precise, and it is expected to hit the shelves featuring a price tag of around 500 Euros (around $659), a figure that reflects the high-end characteristics of the mobile phone.
For what it's worth, there is no official info on the new Omnia Pro, and no image with the phone has made it into the wild either (the photo attached to this article is merely a mock up produced by Hdblog.it), yet the handset seems to be a highly expected successor of the already popular Omnia i900 and Omnia HD i8910 devices. Unfortunately, the upcoming Omnia Pro won't be the Samsung phone to come with the Google Android operating system either, though the maker already announced that such an Omnia model would be launched to the market in the not-so-distant future.
