It is impossible to synchronize contacts from the previous phone (even since the time 3310 there was no such protection). Configure music synchronization and make a playlist - a whole software code. Buggy at every step. For example, when creating a new contact to use them, you need to reboot. Well, etc. Strange apparatus. It can reboot himself, may hang when the number is set. In short, a beautiful shiny toy for a child (only a little expensive). It is impossible to use for no work. Another remarkable property - bluetooth only for himself, can only be combined with the headset, i.e. Bluetooth is simply no memory. Only built-in buggy 5 gigs and that's it.

Applying for a minimum effort, Samsung has created a very interesting competitor for Nokia smartphones running operating system Windows Phone

Having attached to the minimum effort, Samsung has created a very interesting competitor for Nokia smartphones running operating windows systems Phone.

When hundreds pass through your hands mobile devices from touch screenIt is difficult to admire the appearance of a smartphone, which refers to the average price segment.

Its design can be called simple and practical, in any case the developers did everything to get away from ambiguous and controversial solutions.

In addition to the display, the device is made on the front panel front-camera, lighting and approximation sensors, speaker, as well as two touch and search buttons, plus the hardware return key to the main screen.

The rear panel is partially made of metal, speaker, camera lens and flash are made on it.

On the side of the face, you will see the volume buttons, the display lock and activate the camera, for which the designers should be said separately thanks.

On the top of the smartphone there is an input for connecting standard headphones, and on the bottom - the connector for charging and the microUSB cable.

Display

One of the main advantages of this model was the 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and Multi-Touch support, which is distinguished by an incredibly high level of brightness and a very correct display of black.

For comparison: the main competitor Nokia Lumia 800 diagonal and resolution are the same, however, the matrix made on the basis of AMOLED technology issues a less attractive picture.

Ergonomics

Screen windows keyboard Phone 7.5 needs to be improved: When typing in a horizontal position, it does not take the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe screen, and as a result of its buttons were not large enough.

There are no other complaints: the buttons respond quickly to touch, the input language switches to one touch, and, if you wish, you can add emoticons to the text.

The sound of the smartphone is quite clean and bulky, but, at the same time, some users can decide that he lacks volume. However, this problem is easy to solve with high-quality headphones.

As always, when writing tests of devices running Windows Phone, we pass a big hello to Microsoft software developers in general: guys, we still need an accessible program for removing screenshots, and you still do not rush it to do it. Maybe it is worth sending the energy of the participants in contests for software development for Windows Phone in the right direction? Moreover, such a program is needed not only to us, but also to users.

Interface

The novelty is running the Windows Phone 7.5 operating system and the Metro interface, which we have already told in the review and video of the HTC Titan smartphone.

To refresh him in memory, give a small selection of the most interesting screenshots.

However, there are GT-i8350 and its own characteristics. In particular, you should not count on HTC Hub, but there are several unique applications:

. Minidiary to create diary records complemented by photos
. AllShare to transfer multimedia content via DLNA. You can also display the image on the monitor or television screen.
. RSS Times - RSS Ribbon
. "Video calls" for communication in 3G networks
. Now, which replaces the HTC Hub and will help you promptly find out the weather forecast, news, currency courses, and even the most popular tweets written by users in different countries.

Also here there are applications FUNSHOT and PHOTO STUDIO, about which we will tell in detail in the "Camera" section.

Speed

This model uses the Qualcomm MSM8255 processor with a clock frequency of 1.4 GHz and 512 MB random access memory.

We believe that for a model that refers to the average price range is quite enough - the device will not slow down even if you open multiple applications at the same time, and easily cope with the playback of Olain video.

Camera

5 MP camera with autofocus and flash produces a very good impression - this is one of the best cameras of this kind that we had to test.

It will not be removed in the "Macro" mode, allows you to adjust the white balance, contrast, sharpness and ISO level, supports selective focus and also differs in high speed.

Examples of photo:

To make the process of making a photographing process more interesting, the smartphone received two applications - FUNSHOT and PHOTO STUDIO.

The first offers 12 different photo effects, and the second will help edit the photo, make a panoramic picture, use the original frames and filters, as well as post a photo on Facebook, Photobucket or Picasa.

Examples of photo effects:

In addition, the camera removes video in 720p format, its sample can be seen below:

Communications

The communication set of the device looks modest, but here there is everything you need: Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth, GPS and MicroUSB connector.

Entertainment

A set of entertainment features is standard for smartphones running Windows Phone-audio and video player, as well as a FM receiver.

For storage of user content, 8 GB of internal memory is assigned without the extension option, and to pour music or video into a smartphone, you need to install the Zune program to the computer.

Working hours

With moderate operation, the lithium-ion battery will lather without recharging for about two days.

But if you are often talking, listen to music and go online, then GT-i8350 will need to charge every evening.

Impression

This model made a good impression, and we are ready to recommend it to everyone who wants to try something new.

In addition, Samsung Omnia W (GT-i8350) at least $ 50 is cheaper than its main competitor.

Advantages: SUPER AMOLED display, high high speed, good camera, affordable price

Disadvantages: Not the most successful keyboard (chatern for all models based on Windows Phone)

OS. Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

Source - Hi-Tech.mail.ru. The spelling and the author's style is saved.

About a new mobile OS Microsoft Windows. Phone now speak more and more. With the arrival of Nokia, it has become much more chances for the attention of buyers. But do not sit without affairs and other manufacturers. Samsung in late November brings to the Russian market one of the most interesting smartphones on the WP7 model. This is the first device in Russia on Windows Phone Korean brand.

Samsung from those manufacturers who support several platforms at once, including their BADA. This is absolutely true, because if one falls in sales, you can redistribute resources to another. Now in the priority of Android, on which the Koreans have the maximum number of devices and sales. Only Galaxy S II and its predecessor of what is worth. Moreover, despite the purchase of Motorola, it is from Samsung who continues to make Google smartphones under his own brand. Whether peace-friendship will last long, it is unknown, so Koreans look around and prepare possible paths another development of your portfolio. One of these paths is Windows Phone. The Microsoft Platform is clearly less than a smaller weight for Samsung than for HTC or Nokia. But, nevertheless, it is impossible to ignore it.

It is valuable that in these conditions your first smartphone on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango Korean company did not do for a tick. This is one of the best devices in the market with Microsoft OS. Important moments Here two are cost of 15 thousand rubles and the Super AMOLED screen. As a result, Omnia W looks very worthy not only against the background of HTC, but even in comparison with Nokia. I8350 appears at the end of November, i.e. before Nokia. Let's see more about what to expect from Koreans and compare Samsung Omnia W with Nokia Lumia 800, HTC 7 Mozart.

Design, Ergonomics

Something unique inventing with the design of Omnia W did not become. This is already familiar appearance Galaxy R with minimal differences. Behind the same solid removable part: smooth plastic with a metal overlay of another texture. Korean design is generally controversial, and here the feeling seemed to be a compromise or simply did not have enough some kind of material. On the other hand, a metal appeared, which was not from the predecessors, and this would like it.

The color solution for Omnia W is only one thing - it is a classic black, the most popular coloring option in Russia. In addition to the metal insert behind, the housing is completely plastic, but the materials are high-quality. The assembly also does not fail: neither the backlash, nor the embossed when squeezing - everything is fine. I also pleased that the body is not brand. In general, externally Omnia W is one of the most pleasant devices on WP.

Thanks to not the largest display 3.7, "the model will like those who are tired of huge smartphones shovel on Android. Most Windows Phone devices go through the iPhone path not only software, but also hardware. As a result, these are small, light models, even flagships (for example, Nokia Lumia 800). Hold Omnia W is very nice, dimensions and weight are excellent balanced. The thickness is 10.9 mm, and the weight is only 115.3. For comparison, the same Galaxy R weighs 131.

On the items here everything is standard. 3.5 mm connector from above, microUSB bottom, volume swing on the left, on / off button and camera key on the right, and on the front panel Touch items Return and search, as well as the Manual Button "Main Screen". There is a status indicator - it is convenient to see the missed calls or a discharged battery. There is also a front camera 0.3 mp, which can be used for video telephony (by the way, for some reason it is not in Nokia Lumia 800).

Omnia W According to the Windows Phone rules, equipped with a separate hardware button camera. Moreover, thanks to the features of the OS, you can quickly remove from the standby mode, and even if the blocking code is installed. I really like this feature of WP, you can make snapshots literally on the go. But another feature of this OS, on the contrary does not like it - this is the lack of a slot under the memory card. Microsoft thus promotes its SkyDrive service, 25 GB is available to each owner.

Compare Dimensions with Nokia 800 Lumia:

Filling

All smartphones on Windows Phone are now based on the Qualcomm platform, has not been an exception and Samsung. Our hero also works on the basis chipset Qualcomm. MSM 8255 and has a single-core processor at 1.4 GHz. However, the multi-core Windows Phone has not yet supported, so the solution is justified. The speed of work is due to the fast OS at the highest level. Mango update has improved this parameter. A complaints cause old versions of software that are not optimized under version 7.5 and do not even support multitasking. Gradually, such will become less and less, just 50 thousand applications are now for WP7.

In Omnia W 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB flash memory without expansion option - a standard set, familiar to us on Radar and many other smartphones. This is not so much, but Microsoft limits manufacturers, promoting your SkyDrive service. Each owner of the Windows Phone smartphone instead of a slot under a memory card is offered "virtual" flash drive on 25 GB. Minus such a sentence is that without accessing Internet information you will not get. The rest of the familiar set. There is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS. There is no FM radio, there is a 3G support and front camera. Also Omnia W supports DLNA and work in wi-Fi mode Points. But there is no TV exit to the model, but the loss is small.

Unlike HTC Radar or Nokia Lumia 800, there is a removable battery, which is plus. Its container also does not fail, it is 1500 mAh. Complete charge There is enough about two days of average load. I tested Omnia W playing a streaming video on the maximum brightness of Wi-Fi. It turned out 5 hours 32 minutes. MP3 files with a screen turned off and communications were played 38 hours of 11 minutes. The indicator is excellent, despite the high frequency of the processor and the bright screen - the Super Amoled technology is affected, which is sharpened for small power consumption and disconnected communications. WP7 time is better optimized than Android. But the continuous appeal to the social networks of the Microsoft Operations reduces this advantage to a minimum. If you do not use this, IOS levels are obtained.

The screen is one of the best devices on Windows Phone. Only Nokia is inferior, but the minimum difference, judge for yourself (Samsung on the left):

Compare with HTC 7 Mozart (right) and Samsung Galaxy S II (centered):

Used super amoled 3.7. The brightness and contrast maximum, the viewing angles are very wide, and the image looks very good in the sun. Capacitive technology, Touchscreen is pleasant. For its price, the best option and one of the main trumps Omnia w. The only one is a permit, like all WP smartphones, here 800x480. If it is normal for our hero, then for older flagships is not enough. Microsoft limits manufacturers in order to defragmentation of software and due to Qualcomm chipset. I hope in the future we will see higher permissions on WP.

But the camera Omnia W is not the most powerful. There is 5 megapixel, flash and write HD video in 720p resolution at 30 fps. Settings Standard, nothing new. As for quality, it is average. Under conditions of insufficient illumination, pictures are lubricated. The flash is quite powerful, but not too high quality - very distorting colors. Here are examples on maximum quality settings:

Windows Phone

Like I. first htcOur hero is also running Windows Phone version 7.5 Mango. There is multitasking, support for Russian and more than 500 changes compared to the "seven". But the OS is still inferior on the functionality and the sabroad old Android, iOS and even Symbian. The most important advantage of WP is the speed of work. But asceticity and small number of settings will not like everything.

In my opinion, while WP7 is more suitable for enthusiasts on the background of adult iOS, Android and even Symbian. But everything is only because it is a young OS, which is only about a year. And the pace of her growth is impressive.

For more information about Windows Phone 7.5 Mango I wrote. Here I repeat the main thing. If you like the design of the new WP and the speed of work is important, you need to look at this OS. If functionality is needed (Flash, full-fledged multitasking, "live" wallpapers, etc.) or have not yet appeared the software you need, it is better to pay attention to Android, for example, on the same nearest Galaxy R. Read more in my view windows Phone 7.5 Mango.

Branded sAMSUNG applications Prevents a lot, but nothing special (like Nokia) among them is not. FUNSHOT allows you to take pictures with different effects. The function after the appearance of the iPad 2 is widespread. Another application for working with graphics is Photo Studio. This is a simple graphic editor.

The NOW manager is pre-installed - this is the application of weather, news, stocks, currency and micro. At the same time, the weather can be displayed with a label hub on the main screen. Perhaps this is the most useful Samsung branded software.

The rest of the programs are not as interesting, this is a minidiary diary and RSS Times reader.

Opinion Mail.ru.

I liked Samsung Omnia w. This is a small, light smartphone with good characteristicsAnd most importantly - with an adequate price. For 14,990 rubles, one of the most accessible devices available in Russia on Windows Phone is obtained. Only Nokia Lumia 710 and last year's HTC 7 Mozart can compete with it. On their background, the Korean novelty looks very worthy, especially for the screen.

Of course, Omnia W and disadvantages have, but most of them rest in Windows Phone. This is the lack of a slot under the memory card, the lack of support video DivX / XVID and Adobe Flash., Small number of programs, etc. Someone else may not have enough TV exit, but just this I do not consider a serious minus. If you evaluate the model in Microsoft's competitors, then everything is fine. A serious opponent is Nokia Lumia 800, but it is more expensive (20,990 rubles), she has a non-removable battery and there is no front camera.

Samsung debut on the Russian Windows Phone market turned out to be very promising. I recommend to buy if you are looking for a smartphone on the OS from Microsoft. True, if you do not accept the Windows Phone to take for you, then on Android there are more interesting offers for the same money, including Samsung.

Content:

Experience with mobile solutions from Microsoft was even before the appearance of models on Windows Phone 7, and rich and deserved respect. It is enough to recall such a popular model as. It was a smartphone that received a corporate shell. It was very different from the standard terrible type of "naked" Windows Mobile, making the interface not only more beautiful, but also, importantly, more convenient.

In November 2011, sales of the first SAMSUNG OMNIA W solution solving started. This is a device with good features: high-quality body and materials, an excellent screen, a good camera and sound in headphones. However, there is a little built-in memory, which did not allow to bring the model into full-fledged media.

Summary

Appearance

Design korean smartphone Let's call boring, ordinary. For example, devices from HTC or Nokia look more spectacular, immediately remembered. In our case, the phone is not specially noteworthy, the appearance of the monoblock is simple and conservative.

At the same time, the complete similarity with the model line of that time is traced. For example, next to the model looks at equal, to some extent they can be called and copies of each other. Modest black monoblocks with smooth sidewall grains and some protruding side.

Assembling the Korean smartphone is out of any criticism, excellent manufacturer quality, as usual. You do not have to choose the color of the body, only one universal option is offered.

Phone sizes 115 x 58 x 10.9 mm, weight 115 g. The device can be calmly put in a jeans pocket or jacket.

The main part of the housing is made of plastic. Despite the fact that he is a glossy and seem to collect prints, traces on it remains a bit. It may be due to the fact that the main part of the rear panel occupies a metal insert. Thanks to her, it is possible to avoid the untidy form of the phone. Indeed, in most cases this area is dumping.

Front dispose of the spoken speaker, the approximation sensor and lighting. There is a front camera here.

Below are two touch buttons. The arrow returns a step back, and the holding of this key is called the menu of running tasks. Another button opens the search menu. The keys have a white backlight that works when pressed. The central button displays the main screen from any application. It is unlike the rest mechanical, with a small move.

On the upper end there is a 3.5 mm connector for headphones.

On the right there is a very convenient volume keys.

On the right side is the embossed key to lock the screen, as well as the selected two-position button for shooting.

Downstairs there is a universal port of microUSB. It is connected to it charger or cable.

Rear at the top is the 5-megapixel camera lens, located exactly in the center. To the right of it a diode flash. Lefte is a call speaker under a pair of slots.

It may seem that the metal lining is the back cover itself. However, it is very successful in the design and acts only part of the removable panel itself.

From the side there is a small excavation that will allow you to see the insides of the device. And here nothing special: standard for Samsung smartphones battery and SIM card slot, located on the side.

Screen

Samsung Omnia W Super AMOLED with a resolution of 480x800 points and a diagonal of 3.7 inches, 16 million sets are displayed here. The smartphone is equipped with an accelerometer, an approximation sensor and a brightness adjustment sensor. The screen is excellent: with bright and alive colors, excellent viewing angles. If you wish, you can activate the option in the menu that will automatically muffle the brightness if the white picture is displayed to save energy.

I suggest look at Samsung Omnia W next to. Not without fail. In the smartphones of both manufacturers you can see Pentile. Owners of acute view, it is likely to disappoint, all the rest will not have any inconvenience. Nokia on the left, Samsung on the right.

The coating from Gorilla Glass protects the display, but the appearance of scratches is not excluded. The behavior of the screen on the sun is normal, the picture is fading, but remains readable.

Platform

Qualcomm 8255 processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz is proposed. In a smartphone 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB built-in. Of these, more than 6 GB are available to storing the user data. To add space for content can not, the memory is unmanned. The smartphone works very quickly, there is just a lightning response to all user actions.

Interface

The lock screen should be called the brightest element of the phone shell. A background image is assigned from the device's memory, they can serve as not only the picture offered by the manufacturer, but also any other, user-uploaded by the user or made using the camera. In order to activate the screen, you need to click on the lock key. After touching the display lights up for a short time. On the screen you can see information about time and date. At the bottom of the event string, the icons of new messages or calls will be displayed, if such remained unregulated user. This also includes data on future events recorded in the calendar. This will indicate the number of events of each type.

At the top displays information about network connections. If the player works, then you can manage the work of the widget responsible for the playback process of music. Also, this element will help change the sound profile mode. To get into the phone menu, you need to spend your finger from the bottom up the picture of the lock. For those who want to close the contents of a smartphone from an extraneous eye, a password request feature is provided.

The discontinuity of the main screen is simple and even ascetic. Now the bulk of smartphones offers a variety of widgets, all sorts of functions in order to maximize the space of the desktop. WP7 developers abandon this idea. Instead, a new and unusual way to organize the menu is offered. The status string in the upper part combines information about wireless connections and time. Data on new events here do not fall here. At the same time, this period is most often disappeared, not visible the level of battery charge. It is required to touch the top of the screen to call this menu.

Most of the space is occupied by large squares that are responsible for access to certain sections. These are labels of applications, the menu itself is on the next tab. It is easy to get into it, it is enough to follow the instructions of the only arrow, under which the gaping black hole opens. After spending your finger right, you can get into the main menu. Here in alphabetical order lists all programs that are installed in the phone. This includes both standard applications and subsequently added by the device owner.

From here any icon can be sent to your desktop. There they change places, set up in the right order. It can be noted that some elements do not occupy a single site, but two. These are large labels that make some variety. In this case, some of them are equipped with animation. For example, the gallery icon will show something like a slide presentation. The weather indication is displayed in real time. As information proceeds about new events, the corresponding icons appear on icons. This is the number of new SMS, emails or missed calls. The list of shortcuts scrolls up and down, in a different way it does not move. The same principle is valid for the main menu. In order for in the future it was easier to be controlled with a large number of programs, a search function is provided here, which will save from the tedious leafing of a long string of icons.

If you want to change the design, then the choice is offered a black or white background, as well as eleven designations. "Theme" - it says loudly, they do not transform the interface, only change the color of the icons and some of some menu items.

The platform offers to use multitasking. You need to hold the return button, after which the menu opens from the windows, among which running applications will be displayed. There you can switch between them. However, this applies only to embedded applications. The programs from third-party developers do not work so smoothly, the user faces the lack of real multitasking. To date, this is one of the main problems of the new platform.

Contacts

The phonebook is divided into three sections. The first shows all the names that are in the device's memory. The second brings those used most often, these are the most popular contacts. The last graph will join the news from social networks. For example, Twitter or Facebook.

Contacts are displayed by a list that allows you to see the image assigned to the subscriber. Full name and surname to one line do not fit. Personally, I do not like this option. With the fact that a bunch remains on the screen free spaceThis implementation of the functional element looks controversial. Over the list of names about a quarter of the screen is engaged in a large section title. On the side of a small plot takes the neighboring graph. The phone book is made on small groups, over each of them is highlighted with a bright color of the letter.

In the settings, selects the type of name sorting and the display of their display. There are book filter settings. From here you can remove data from social networks if they interfere. Holding your finger on the row with the name of the subscriber, this contact can be transferred to the desktop, delete or change.

When creating a new user, it is assigned different data. Before this you need to choose where the information will be saved: in the account Windows Live. or other profile.

The new user gets the name, surname, patronymic, place of work, alias, appeal, image. He is assigned several phone numbers different types: Mobile, Home, Worker, Organization, Pager, Fax. At the same time, a person, according to the creators of the platform, can only be one mobile. The question is solved by creating several contacts and the union of them in one. But two home or working numbers. Three types of email are set. Contacts are given additional fields. This address, site, birthday, note, anniversary, close man, children, office location, position. As a ringtone, you can install not only one of the files in the phone's memory, but also any other. The search menu will help find the right person. The phone allows you to create user groups. They will be separately allocated before the common list of names. By adding users to each group, you can follow the life of friends, see their messages, pictures. Of course, it is allowed to write a letter, SMS or call them from here.

Calls

To go to the dial menu, you need to click on the icon, after which the list of numbers opens. The telephone part is divided into four groups. This is the call log itself, dialing, phone book and search. Memorize the section that was used in last time, the device does not know how. Thus, for a dialing, you will always need to make an excessive action associated with the transition from the call list to the virtual keyboard.

During the dialog, information about the duration of the conversation is displayed, and the picture appears before it, if it was assigned to the contact. Latin characters are shown on the virtual keyboard, but they will not help when dialing the numbers. The functions of the automatic selection of suitable numbers are not here. The only assistant in this matter is the search option.

The list of calls is organized very simple. Here is a long string rooms are coming All call history. No matter, there were the same numbers or not. Combine the same type calls the phone does not know how. The subscriber's name is displayed or the number if the data was not saved in the phone's memory. In order to highlight the call type (inbound or outgoing), a multi-colored backlight is used, which is allocated information at the number. Choosing a number from the list, you can see the call history when they gained someone. From the magazine saved number in phonebook or an existing user or a new one is created.

Messages

Correspondence is formed in the form of two sections. The first consists of a correspondence in the form of SMS and MMS. The other consists of Facebook contacts. Thus, you can correspond from here with users of the virtual community. Messages are displayed by a column. Here is a large font name of the sender or number. Below, the text of the last message is displayed in small letters. On the right indicates the day when a message was received. If you hold your finger on the string, the menu will open, with which the entire dialog is removed. If you wish in the correspondence itself, single SMS are removed between users. Any message from the dialogue can be sent. For clarity, the text of unread messages is highlighted in bright color, based on the theme of the decoration.

If you open the correspondence window, messages will appear that are divided into blocks. In this case, incoming and sent SMS differ from each other with shades, which simplifies reading. In addition, the date and time of receipt of the message is noted here. Above the message is displayed or the name of who comes with. If you click on this line, a menu will open, which allows you to make a call or see more detailed information about the subscriber.

By typing a message, you need to select the sender. You can simply print the numbers on the line at the top of the screen or select an existing contact already. It is impossible to use previously involved numbers. The text input field itself is lower, as new words add, this space expands. When the number the sign becomes more than sixty, the number of characters will be displayed at the bottom. This will help take into account the volume of the new SMS, the sending of the combined, large messages is supported. A text message automatically turns into a multimedia if you add a picture to it. At the same time, only a snapshot from the camera or the image from the gallery is inserted. Some other information can not be transferred.

Settings for this partition allow you to disable the Facebook chat, activate the delivery report that will come with a separate message. It is inconvenient that the phone does not know how to keep in memory of the workpiece. To a lesser extent critical lack of templates, but, mention this fact is worth it.

The calculator offers all the necessary functions for calculations. If you turn the device to the side, the optional settings menu will open.

Navigation

Bing cards work badly. The possibilities of the application are extremely scanty and limited. For example, it is impossible to even pave the route. At the same time there is no localization, the names of the streets are indicated by Latin letters. Interestingly, judging by the characteristics of the phone, it supports GLONASS satellites, but somehow in practice it will not work.

MarketPlace.

As it is clear from the title, this menu serves as a source for searching for new programs. To make purchases, you will need the availability of Windows Live account. Get it easy, then you need to add data to your bank cardto acquire software. If you do not add it, it will be possible to install exclusively. free AppsWhat is logical.

Office functions

The section includes applications that work with Word, Excel, Power Point and One Note. Accordingly, these are programs for text documents, tables, presentations and notes. The device allows not only to view the data on the screen, but create new files of these types or edit existing ones. Settings are quite much, it is unlikely that someone will manually create a big presentation, but to make adjustments to the text document will be convenient. But it is worth considering that the Word format 97-2003 cannot be edited. Such actions apply only to newer versions. Everything rests on the fact that file sharing is difficult here. The document can be sent by email, lay out in SkyDrive or to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.

Search

The selected key is responsible for the Yandex search engine. It opens when you click on this button and will search for data based on the driven words. You can assign another system, but it will only be Bing. Therefore, the search engine from Yandex looks more advantageous, immediately on the screen displays more useful reference information.

Wi-Fi 802.11 B / G / N works well, we are confident, passwords are saved. In this case, the screen lock causes a shutdown from the Wi-Fi network. Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR will allow listening to music on wireless headphones. Data transfer to other devices is not possible, the phone does not allow to transmit files. However, the smartphone can work as a network access point for other devices. DLNA supported and video link.

Profiles

The device offers a single sound profile. It is impossible to set up several options for alert. In this case, a substantial disadvantage can be considered a union of sound in applications and alert signals. For example, muffling music into the player, it automatically decreases across volume and for a call, and for SMS alerts, and for alarm clock. What caused such logic, it is difficult to understand, but in practice it is inconvenient. Its own ringtones are installed through Zune, here the principle is similar to creating a call signal in iTunes.

Battery

Samsung Omnia W is equipped with a replaceable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1520 mAh. According to official data, the phone works from it up to 380/490 hours in GSM / WCDMA standby mode, or up to 14 / 6.5 hours in talk mode.

The cost savings option will allow to extend the life of the phone, it will turn off some functions. Charging is supported from the computer's USB connector. The total phone charging time is more than more than an hour. In continuous playback mode, the video phone worked for 7 hours 12 minutes on the maximum screen brightness with Wi-Fi enabled.

Conclusion

Spoken speaker here is good and loud, with a decent margin by sound. Skip incoming call Difficult, the device calls loudly. Vibrating alert medium strength.

Smartphone is sold today, on average for 7-8 thousand rubles, thereby constituting the competition WP7-background. Nevertheless, the Samsung apparatus is a lot of advantages: high-quality materials and assembly, a decent screen, a good camera and player, decent autonomy. Of the minuses - there is little built-in memory, I would like to get at least 16 GB. But on the background of classmates Samsung Omnia W looks very good. For your money, it is now attractive at the ratio of price-quality apparatus, especially for those who want to get acquainted with Windows Phone.
