Samsung may have only announced their new Windows Mobile 6.5 QWERTY candybar, the Omnia Pro B7330, yesterday, but already the hands-on reports are coming out of the woodwork. phoneArena have been playing with a prototype and come away full of hope for the production model; they reckon the B7330 mixes decent style, build quality and functionality to draw in the “my first smartphone” market.
Samsung have announced a new Windows Mobile smartphone and promised a lease of new life for several other existing models, each of which will get an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5. The new Samsung Omnia Pro B7330 is a straightforward QWERTY-toting candybar running Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard, and pretty much takes the core of the B7320 and slaps a 320 x 320 display and HSUPA support into the handset.
Meanwhile the five existing Samsung Omnia models currently on sale – which means the i8000, B7320, B7300, B7330 and B7610 – are all getting an update to the newest version of Microsoft’s smartphone OS, v6.5. That’s new handsets sold, incidentally; existing owners of the Omnia II, B7610 and B7320 will be eligible for an update from 6.1 to WinMo 6.5.
You may recall back in June we talked a bit about the Samsung P410m compact projector. The little device was designed to be the mobile pro’s best friend when it comes to giving presentations. The tiny projector measures in at 5.8″ W x 2.5″ H x 5.7″ D making it much smaller than your average projector.

CEDIA is in full swing and as such, there is a glut of new home theater gear to talk about and there has been for the last week. Samsung today announced a new home theater projector at the show called the A600. The projector slots into the Samsung line behind the A800 and A900 units already available.
We love big TVs as much as the next person, but there just has to be a point where big is too big. Is 65-inches too big? That’s probably a personal taste thing, and while we’re sure that there’s plenty of people out there that would love to have this new set introduced today at CEDIA by Samsung, we can guess there’s one huge obstacle you’ll have to climb before you can have one of these bad boys.
Samsung have announced their latest 2.5-inch hard-drive, and while it may not be a fashionable SSD it does at least have capacity going for it. The Samsung Spinpoint M7 packs 640GB into its dual-platter design, with 5,400rpm spin speed.
Verizon has officially launched two new Samsung messaging devices, the SCH-U960 Rogue and the SCH-U450 Intensity. The two handsets each have slide-out QWERTY keyboards, but where the Rogue has a 3.1-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen, the Intensity makes do with a standard 2.1-inch LCD display.
It’s the second Android handset we’ve seen today, and certainly the most luminous. Samsung’s I5700 Galaxy Lite has turned up over at ai.rs, the smaller sibling to the existing Android Galaxy phone already on sale in Europe, complete with a 3.2-megapixel fixed-focus camera and 1GB of internal storage.
Did’t I just finish writing a week in review? That time again already? Ok, so here we go! Asus’ Eee netbook roadmap leaked this week showing us some of the new machines Asus has up its sleeves and tipping us off on the netbooks already on the market that will be going extinct soon. SanDisk got all official and stuff with a new low-end MP3 player called the Sansa Clip+. The thing gains a microSD card slot to accommodate that big bag of fail known as slotMusic.
