Samsung Louvre = the Omnia Pro?

I really don’t care what it is called, I like it a lot.  The folks at the Unwired View passed this tidbit along saying that reportedly, the Omnia Pro is none other than the Windows Mobile 6.1 Samsung Louvre B7610.  What caught my attention was this neat picture that definitely got my “device envy” juices flowing.

The Omnia Pro has a wide 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen display with 480 x 800 pixels, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.  Check out these specs after the break:

  • 2 User Interfaces – a Pro and a Media one, with a dedicated key to switch between them
  • HSDPA/HSUPA
  • GPS
  • Wi-Fi with DLNA support
  • 5.1 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash
  • 800Mhz CPU
  • TV out
  • 3.5 mm headset jack
  • Divx/WMV/H.264 acceleration
  • Bluetooth
  • FM Radio
  • MicroUSB
  • 1GB of internal memory
  • MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB
  • 1500 mAh battery

    Wow... this windows mobile powered samsung beauty is incredible. Have you seen the technical specs yet? Of course it has teh standard gps and wif support, but you also get a 5 mp camera and tv out support, not to mention standard 3.5" headophones with an FM radio and over 1 gb of internal memeory. With sd cards you can go up to 32 gb. Wow is all I can say!
  • Most of what you mentioned was already in the Omnia. My Omnia has GPS (limited by Verizon), WiFi, a 5 MP camera (with autofocus), TV out support and an FM radio. It doesn't have a 3.5" headphone jack (you have to connect an adapter to the sync port just like for TV out), but I have 8 GB internal Flash.

    1500mAh battery? With an 800Mhz processor it's going to be short-lived. That would be an extended battery on a 400Mhz device.

  • If the processor scales its speeds, it may not be that bad. The processor proobably doesn't need the full 800 MHz all of the time.

  • The dedicated key to switch interfaces seems sketchy to me. The Q9m had a similar key to switch between the Verizon media Home screen and the user's Home screen, and I felt it was a waste of a key.

    The other thing I wonder about is why they're dropping internal memory to 1 GB. My Omnia has probably has 128-256 MB storage memory plus 8 GB of extra storage. If the 1 GB is storage memory and there's no extra storage, that sounds like a big loss (I store most of my programs in the extra storage).

    Other than those two items, this looks like a great device.
