Samsung Omnia Pro Review
The Omnia Pro looks chunky and dated, and though the bright AMOLED display looks great, the slider mechanism of the QWERTY keyboard feels creaky and low rent.
Samsung's TouchWiz interface is an unintuitive skin to the barely-improved Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, and the Pro's touch-screen is too slow for a pleasant navigation experience
WinMo 6.5 makes for some good business features such as easy sync to Microsoft Outlook, and its new icon-based look is an improvement. The five-megapixel camera is surprising capable as well.
The preloaded Opera Mini browser makes for a fast web experience, and though you can't get push email on webmail, you can on Microsoft Exchange accounts. However, the lag-ridden touch-screen and unintuitive user interface makes the phone no fun to use.
The Omnia Pro lasted a full day with GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G use.
Pros: Tactile keyboard, speedy web browser, decent camera particularly on a business device, ability to customise with Windows apps
Cons: Unresponsive touch-screen, no push support for webmail, clumsy Touch-Wiz interface, generally slow and glitch-ridden UI

Verdict: Great web and usable email features can’t compensate for an incredibly lag-ridden touch-screen and user interface
