Since the release of the best selling Galaxy S, Samsung have seen their reputation grow in the mobile technology field, similar to the boost they have also received in the home entertainment market where their televisions are currently the best selling in the UK. With the launch of the Omnia 7 handset, they are hoping to corner yet another area of the mobile market, the relatively new Windows 7 field where there are currently several handset vying for top position. The question on many users lips however will be why should I change from Android to Windows 7, so lets take a look at what this new operating system from Microsoft has to offer.

In terms of specification of the models on offer, the Omnia 7 does not differ greatly from other models such as the HTC HD7 thanks to Microsoft setting some minimum specification standards that all handsets must adhere to such as a 1Ghz processor and no removable storage. In terms of the interface itself, there are some really positive elements that make this new system a very attractive proposition for all phone users. Take web browsing for example, the Omnia 7 features the latest ...
... mobile version of internet explorer. Like on the home PC version, the browser supports tabbed browsing, and up to six pages can be loaded in parrallel, enabling you to easily flick between different web pages. Another boost for these facilities is that Adobe have also announced that Flash 10.1 will be released for Windows 7 mobiles, meaning websites with flash content can easily be viewed on the phone, something sadly missing from Apples iPhone line up. And the beauty of this system being developed by Microsoft is that the developers are continually working on improvements, at present that is in the form of a mobile Internet Explorer 9, complete with full Javascript and HTML Support.

So we have established that the Samsung Omnia 7 is a wise choice for anybody looking for a great online experience, but what else does WM7 offer us. Well the majority of handsets are used extensively for SMS text messaging or e mail composition, thus text input is an important area for any operating system to focus on. The keyboard on this model is both responsive and well spaced out, with the large screens found on these models very beneficial in this department, the display on the Omnia 7 measures 4 inches. Predictive text is surprisingly good, and should you complete your message and find you want to change a specific word, simply tapping on it will bring up a list of alternatives or give you the option to change it completely. The younger users will appreciate the Emoticon key, which when pressed reveals a number of symbols and characters you can insert for an added element of fun.

The Samsung Omnia 7 really does appeal thanks to two major factors, firstly the excellent operating system which really does breathe a breath of fresh air into the mobile industry, but also thanks to the excellent screen which sets this model apart from other phones running on this system.

The Samsung Omnia 7 and HTC 7 Trophy are both Windows 7 Mobiles that are available now.
