The phone is a pocket pc but also has all requirements of good entertainment as well. The 3.5 inch screen, WVGA resolution, 800Mhz processor, 256MB RAM, dedicated graphic accelerator and many more makes this phone a better choice than HTC Pro 2. Samsung who has not been known as a veteran in communicator devices are now showing improvement with the introduction of omniaPRO. The phone indeed has very good features. The UI especially the Touch Gallery is very good. Samsungs proprietary TouchWIZ UI is installed on top of Windows OS. The widgets on the home screen can be set as two different modes work and life. Samsung has done well to improve from the predecessor Omnia in the UI. OmniaPRO is indeed a better choice when it comes to a communicator.
