Samsung Launches Windows Phone Omnia M

With Samsung taking off where it left off after the launching of its latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S3, it has now added a Windows Phone device to its portfolio. It looks like this latest phone that Samsung will begin rolling out to European countries first is set to take on the likes of the Lumia range of Windows Phones by Nokia. As opposed to its similar predecessor, the Omnia 7, the M doesn’t have a physical Windows home button but a capacitive one. The Samsung Omnia M Windows Phone will ship with a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 800, a 1.5GHz processor, 5MP rear-facing camera with LED flash with a VGA front facing camera for video chatting, 384MB of RAM, 4GB of built-in storage and a 1,500mAh battery.

As for its connectivity options, it will support 3G HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, a GPS / Bing Map and USB 2.0. The phone will be pre-loaded with several applications such as ChatOn Messenger, Samsung AllShare that allows users to play movies, games or any other media directly to a TV, Music Hub, Windows Phone People Hub that has built-in social networking services like Windows Live, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. For your added storage needs, the Omnia M will apparently ship with free 2GB of cloud-based storage for free from Microsoft’s own SkyDrive. For now, there has been no official announcement for either the phones release date or its pricing, but as mentioned above, it will go out to countries in Europe before proceeding on its way to other countries.
