The Samsung Omnia Pro comes with a large 3.5″ AMOLED touch screen of WVGA resolution. Three hard keys for calling, menu and power end call are placed below the screen. On the top of the screen is the proximity sensor, LED indicator, earphone and the secondary camera.The top panel sports a multipurpose mini USB, which double up as a charging port and data transfer and there is a 3.5mm port for hands free. The top right side of the phone has the stylus slot. On the right side are the screen lock and the camera key. On the left side of the phone is the volume rocker and widget and life button, which
switches the screen modes. Users can assign different user interface settings each to Widget and Life screen and alternate them with a single click. The front panel slides out to the left and reveals a
full QWERTY keypad. At the back of the phone is the 5.0-megapixcl camera with a very decent dual LED flash on the top and a speaker grill at the bottom. On removing the back cover you will see the microSD slot on top next to the LED flash.The Omnia Pro runs on the Windows iMobile 6.1 Professional operating system (OS). TouchWiz UI (user Interface) has been customized beautifully for the Pro. Most internal menus of basic Windows-based phone have been covered by the Touch Wiz interface.In the widgets mode the menus are arranged as tabs on the scrollable home-screen. Each individual tab is
also scrollable sideways in case there is more content that needs to be displayed. In life mode you can arrange freely on the three different screens available. The missing back button is at times very
annoying as you will have to use the X button on the top. The full Q_WERTY keypad slides out and is very comfortable to use. The keypad of the Pro is one of the best among all Samsung devices.The Samsung Omnia PRO comes with a very decent Touch player. The default Windows Media player is also present. The player can handle both video and audio files, supports playlists and has the standard album artist/tracks sections.

loudspeaker as well as headphones is ok. While playing videos, the player switches to full screen landscape mode with a double tap. It has full DivX and XviD video support.The photo album has an interesting feature. For zooming, you can double tap the picture. Following this it takes you to the centre of the picture and then you can move the image where ever you want to. User can sort photos in albums by month and it shows the first six from every album.The 5.0-megapixel camera with dual LED flash gives a decent performance. VGA quality videos are better than expected. The phone camera comes with a bunch of settings like ISO, white balance, default storage, stabilizer, etc. You can switch the default storage between the phone memory and the micro SD card. The camera also features geo-tagging, face detection and smile shutter.Photos are sharp and relatively noise free.
