The Samsung OMNIA Pro is a side slider QWERTY device that runs on Windows Mobile 6.1. It is basically an enterprise-targeted device that goes head to head with the HTC Touch Pro 2 because of its really big AMOLED screen.

truth be told, I’m not too keen anymore with enterprise phones using Windows Mobile. If not for the corporate lock outs (I guess buying in bulk through cheap biddings really pay off), I’d prefer having my entire team running on Blackberries because at the very least, sending SMS would be a breeze.

That, or we wait till Windows Mobile 7.0.

This may be considered as one of Samsung’s entrry level phones with basic features but the fact is, if you’re an outdoor lover, the B2100 is water resistant up to one meter for 30 minutes, dust proof, shock proof and can claim to be elegant even when placed in front of the meeting desk. The B2100 comes with a 1.3MP camera, Mp3 player wth loud speakers and 6MB of internal memory + memory expansion.

Happy weekend! Samsung sent over their new OMNIA HD for testing purposes. If I were to cut this review into one sentence, I’d be obliged to say that the OMNIA HD is essentially a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic that’s running on a nice big 3.7 inch AMOLED screen. Put together S60’s touch screen UI and Samsung’s design elements and you got yourself an OMNIA HD.

Here’s my treat for the full review of the OMNIA HD.

A rather eccentric review in the sense that he’s got a cowboy thing going. The Samsung Propel Pro is a non-touch screen Windows Mobile phone. The Propel has a good thing going for it with a really easy to use keypad (it’s fat!). The battery life is also good enough with 2 days of intensive use.

The Propel Pro also comes with WiFi and Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. It doesn’t have a D-Pad, but a joystick to move up, down, left and right. All in all the Propel Pro is a pretty good WinMo phone because of the QWERTY keypad and LONG battery life.

In between a PDA and a laptop, the Samsung Mondi provides the computing prowess of a laptop at the palm of your hand. Nothing we haven’t seen before, but what makes this device interesting is that it runs on a WiMax network ensuring seamless connectivity to the Internet within the WiMax blanket.

The Mondi runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a full thumb board and touch screen. Other perks include GPS, 3.0 MP camera and recording capabilities. So far, no price has been set for this device. Full specs include:

# Windows Mobile 6.1
# Microsoft Outlook and Windows Mobile Office
# WiMAX Mobile Internet Access
# WiFi Access (BTv2.1+EDR)
# GPS: Route 66 Navigation with Preloaded Maps
# 4GB of Internal Memory
# Direct Push/Mobile Email (POP3, IMAP, SMTP)
# Supports Instant Messaging and MMS
# 3.0 Megapixel Camera and Camcorder
# Bluetooth ® 2.0
# Opera 9.5 Web Browser
# HDMI TV Out
# Supports Multiple Video and Audio Player Formats

I got to hold the Samsung OMNIA HD for a while — it was running on a prototype OS so I really couldn’t do much with it. No worries.

The Samsung OMNIA HD runs on Nokia’s famed Symbian operating system, not Windows Mobile 6.1. Perhaps the most WOW-ing thing with this device is its very crisp OLED screen. The phone uses its iconic Samsung widget interface to decorate the front of the device. Once you get apps running, you’ll start to notice the familiar S60 menu.

All in all this looks like it’s going to be a really good follow up to the “affluent” OMNIA line primarily because of the choice of operating system and bright screen.

Early this month, Samsung released a YouTube video campaign for their UltraTOUCH phone.

Now that I got to hold one for a few hours, I must say that the UltraTOUCH hype doesn’t live up to the full capacity of the phone. Don’t get me wrong here — if someone asked me buying advice, I’d gladly say that the UltraTOUCH is still a decent phone to own. The lack of the directional pad and the addition of the touch screen are fine points to consider when choosing this phone. In short, it works well. There’s no revolutionary technology behind this phone but if you’re looking for something small and thin with a touch screen that works, then this is a good option.

Samsung recently announced the Xplorer 1, which continues the line of outdoor friendly phones. The Xplorer 1 comes with an outdoor friendly finish allowing it to withstand bumps, scratches, scrapes and yes — even water for up to one meter. The Xplorer 1 can withstand the underwater depths for up to 30 minutes.

Specs wise, the Xplorer 1 comes with a 1.3 MP camera, EDGE connectivity, noise cancellation technology, loud speakers and microSD expansion. Nothing really high tech with this baby, but the submersible feature does make this remarkable.
