Reviews Samsung Omnia 7 - Windows Phone 7 Smartphone Operating System
Windows Phone 7
The Samsung Omnia 7 runs Microsoft's all new Windows Phone 7 smartphone operating system. The first thing you'll notice about Windows Phone 7 is the striking new design; WP7 replaces the traditional home screen by putting all your content at your fingertips in tiles. Launch apps, check your messages and update your favourite social networks with ease on your Windows Phone 7 smartphone. Windows Phone 7 also integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft products through Windows Phone 7 HUBs; play games and update your gamer profile with Xbox Live support, listen to music and watch movies using the Zune player, sync with Outlook and of course open, view and edit Microsoft Office documents.
4 inch Super-AMOLED Touchscreen!
The Samsung Omnia 7 features an incredible 4 inch Super-AMOLED touchscreen display with multi-touch technology. AMOLED On-cell technology is a new type of AMOLED display that is extremely thin and nearer to the surface resulting in a sharper, brighter screen. Colours are bright and vivid, even in daylight, and images are sharp and crisp. Not just a joy to look at, the capacitive touchscreen on the Omnia 7 is responsive and reacts instantly to your on screen commands.
5.0 Megapixel Camera
With a built in 5.0 megapixel camera with auto focus and an LED Flash, the Samsung Omnia i8700 takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog.
HD Video Capture
With the Samsung i8700 you can capture the action in brilliant high definition with 720p HD video recording. Let the camera roll with one press of the camera key and capture all the action in perfect clarity. When you're finished, upload your masterpiece to YouTube or Picasa and share your work with the world!
1GHz Processor
Thanks to a built in 1GHz Qualcomm processor, the Omnia 7 truly is a smart smartphone. Run several applications at once with little slow down, launch programs and apps instantly and navigate the phone's many features effortlessly. All this is possible thanks to the 1GHz processor found on the i8700 Omnia 7.
3G
The Omnia 7, formerly known as the Cetus, features 3G which stands for third generation, and the system is the third generation in the evolution of mobile networks, after analogue and GSM. 3G offers high speed data transfers and the ability to make video calls between compatible mobile phones.
HSDPA
HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is often referred to as Mobile Broadband.
Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi you can use your Samsung phone on O2 to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.
Bluetooth 2.1
Bluetooth 2.1 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.1 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.
GPS
With built in GPS you can use the Omnia 7 to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general Sat Nav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software.
A-GPS
A-GPS is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them. When combined with a GPS enabled mobile phone, the addition of A-GPS enables a faster GPS satellite lock.
Music Player
With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.
Email Client
The Omnia 7 has an email client, which will allow you to receive email from your own personal email account, and send pictures, videos or text emails to any email account anywhere in the world. Email access on the phone is simple to set up and a cost effective way of keeping in touch.
Web Browser
With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.
