Samsung, along with many other companies, has also announced and demonstrated their own smartphone at Microsoft’s Windows 7 Phone release event. The Omnia 7 is a pretty decent handset, although it doesn’t really stand out from the crowd (especially with competitors like the HTC 7 Pro and Mozart, which have some pretty unique features).

The device’s only defining feature is the stylish design and its big 4 inch Super AMOLED display (which you may have seen in the Google Nexus One) that makes the image on the screen very crisp and vibrant. Other than that, the Omnia 7 is pretty standard, and it comes equipped with a 1GHz Qualcomm QSD 8250 processor, 512 MB of RAM, 8 or 16 GB of internal memory and a micro SD card slot and a 5 megapixels camera that is capable of filming 720p video (with the right software, you should also be able to edit it right on the phone or stream the footage live).

The Samsung Omnia 7 also comes with a wide array of communication capabilities, including quad band GSM, HSUPA and HSDPA 3G, which allows you to upload and download data at 5.76/7.2 Mbps, respectively (Windows 7 Phone is also limited to 7.2 Mbps max, so you won’t be able to use T-Mobile’s 14.4 Mbps network even if such a phone comes out).

The stylish body definitely has a sort of elegance about it, and it’s pretty slim at 11mm, weighing only 138 grams – average in the class. Strangely, the phone does not have an integrated GPS transceiver, which would’ve been pretty useful for many people, and that could negatively affect its sales to a certain degree.

The Samsung Omnia 7 will be released on November 8th on AT&T’s network in the US, and will cost $199.99 with a 2 year contract, which is a pretty standard price to pay. If you like the new Windows 7 Phone, this phone should definitely be on your choice list.
