Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 deals & review

In a word or two

The Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 is a professional smartphone that supports your mobile business needs.

The Design

The Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 is an attractively serious-looking handset that clearly means business. There is the 2.6 inch resistive screen for navigating directly when convenient and a full QWERTY keyboard beneath, very much in the style of a BlackBerry device. The layout of the phone is neat and practical, and each key is slightly raised at an angle to enable your fingers to quickly decipher the right one. And there are shortcut keys to enhance navigation.

As a business-focused handset, the Omnia Pro 4 only comes in black. But this just serves to retain its smart design. For all its robust nature, the Pro 4 is actually slim at just 11.9mm so it’s ideal for holding in the one hand, easily portable, and will fit inside briefcases without issue.

Like other business phones recently released, including the Motorola ES400, the exterior matches the interior on this handset.

Specifications

In keeping with its professional persona, the Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 runs on the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional OS. This means all the productivity tools you’d expect are included on the phone. There is Microsoft Outlook Mobile for keeping you up to speed with your emails and calendar, whether you’re in a meeting, in transit or in the office but away from your desk. The Pocket Office feature enables you to work on Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents straight from your phone, opening and reading attachments in emails and staying ahead of the business game.

The Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 also comes with Adobe Flash Lite so accessing the internet is easy and seamless with full-page load ability. Access is bolstered by the 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity support on the handset.

When it comes to storing data and documents on the Pro 4 you should have sufficient space as the internal memory is expandable, and you can store up to 32GB on a microSD card. This additional storage space is one of the features that separate the Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 from the Pro 5 device which only has capacity for 16GB.

For those more frivolous moments or downtime, you’ll enjoy the media ability on the Pro 4 smartphone. You can listen to your own music on the MP3 player or tune into your preferred radio station, listening using the 3.5 mm audio jack with your earphones. And the 3.2-megapixel camera and video can be both fun and functional, used for social or work reasons, and the secondary camera supports conference calls.

Considerations

It’s a shame the screen is resistive, although with the help of a stylus this is more than manageable.

Verdict

The Samsung Omnia Pro 4 B7350 looks good and has plenty of features to enable you to conduct your working day. If you’re looking for a professional device with Office support, the Omnia Pro 4 is worth considering.
