This cell phone is fully capable in almost all departments, hardware, software everything. Having a QWERTY keyboard to begin with, this is one tough nut to crack at an initial glance of the key features and the whole packages. As the critics are saying, this handset is going to give the rivals a run for their money both in the areas of performance and pricing. As there is no one thing that sets B7610 apart from its rival handsets, this set is going to try and put in as much detail in its system as possible.
Samsung,

Lets take a look at the cell’s key features which are quad-band GSM support and 3G with HSDPA, 3.5" 16M-color (65K effective) AMOLED display of 800 x 480 pixel resolution, work & Life mode switch key, Full side sliding QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with dual-LED flash and D1 video recording , Windows Mobile 6.5 fully skinned with TouchWiz UI, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, standard microUSB port, standard 3.5mm audio jack, 2GB built-in storage, 256 MB RAM, microSD (up to 32GB), 8GB card included, Wi-Fi with DLNA, GPS receiver with A-GPS, built-in accelerometer for UI auto-rotate and turn-to-mute, TV out functionality, Nice audio output quality, Large capacity battery etc.

But it has its own many disadvantages, for example its extremely bulky and heavy, 65K color limitation of display has color gradients banding, poor sunlight legibility, comes with OmniaLITE-grade HSDPA speed, and no HSUPA support, microSD card slot under the battery cover, the display and back pannel are finger print magnets, performance under WinMo 6.5 not a good as it was under 6.1, no preinstalled SatNav software, no voice dialing, no web Flash support, no digital compass and stereo speakers etc. So yes, there a lot of things that are missing in this great phone as well.

So, the B7610 OmniaPRO will be competing not only with the phones with Windows Mobile; this time it has Symbian, and Android, and Maemo all ready to give it a tough time!
