Samsung announces WP7 Omnia W
(Credit: Samsung).
Design-wise, the Omnia W looks slightly different with its rounded edges compared with the rectangular shape of the Omnia 7. It's also slightly thinner at 10.9mm and weighs in at just 115.3g compared with the 11mm and 138g of the latter. The weight difference is owed to the smaller 3.7-inch display--the Omnia 7 sports a 4-inch screen.
Apart from the Mango improvements, Samsung has included its own suite of productivity apps including Samsung AllShare, which lets you transfer content between smartphones and DLNA devices. There's also a Video Call app which lets you do video conferencing on a 3G network and a Samsung e-Book client for reading your novels.
The Omnia W will be available first in Italy at the end of October with Asia getting the handset later. We have contacted Samsung for a release date and will update this article once we have confirmation.
