Work on the Go
After trying out the Samsung OmniaPro B7330 for a few days, I think this is probably a businessman’s best friend. This palm-size smartphone features a QWERTY keypad, 320 x 320 resolution 65K Colours TFT LCD screen and has a battery life of up to 10 hours! And if your office email runs on Microsoft Exchange Server, you can easily reply to your emails and access your work calendar on the go.
Samung WizPro screen layout
While I am not a big fan of Windows Mobile, the Samung WizPro screen layout actually makes the whole experience more enjoyable.
For internet addicts like me, I am able to access various social networking websites such as Facebook, Youtube and Flickr at my finger tip under the communities section.
I can also create my own shortcut section on the Samsung WizPro screen layout! I can add any of my frequently accessed programs such as the Windows Live Messenger and Internet Sharing in this section. This certainly cuts down the number of steps to get to a frequently accessed program in Windows Mobile.
Camera
While this business phone doesn’t come with built-in flash, the 3.2 megapixels camera will come in handy when you have a discussion and the whole whiteboard is scribbled with the discussion points! By adjusting the ISO in the camera setting (up to ISO 400), you will be to take pictures even in low light conditions. But do note that this is a business phone. For better image quality, you may wish to consider the Samsung Pixon12 - I love its various camera modes and the image quality!
Shortcut keys
Personally, I love the “quick” key on the QWERTY keypad which is not found in most of the Windows Mobile Smartphones. It opens a menu of frequently accessed programs such as the Task Manager and Wireless Manager to save battery which are usually hidden under settings. It also allows you to switch between profiles in this menu.
By holding on to the space button, you will be able to switch your phone to slient mode without going into the phone profiles. To start a new sms, you can do it by pressing the button with the mnail Icon without going into the phone menu or the Samsung WidPro interface. You can also launch the Internet Explorer by pressing the button with the globe icon.
Micro USB Port/Headphone Jack
The only thing that one may dislike about this phone is the sharing of the micro usb port with the headphone jack as this phone doesn’t come with the typical 2.5mm or 3.5mm headphone jack. But come to think about it, such incident of using the handsfree set and doing data transfer is pretty rare as the micro SD card slot is easily accessible on the other side of the phone.
