So, as unimpressed as we are with the whole 6.5 makeover of the Windows Mobile Standard OS, we have to admit that the Samsung B7330 OmniaPRO might just be able to get a corner on the market.

A powerful messaging tool on the cheap side, with a complete connectivity set, a decent camera and a pretty good screen is quite an all-round package to justify robust demand. The performance is very much on par with the specs (save for the video playback, which needs some polishing) so the handset looks in a pretty good position to stand its ground against competitors.

Now, we seriously doubt it that a QWERTY WinMo Standard handset will be able to get anywhere near the iconic status of the Nokia E71 for example, but it's not only the champion that gets a medal, right?

From what we saw, the B7330 OmniaPRO might just be the right device to keep pressure on competing smart messengers. It may be just us, but Samsung are quite keen to keep the Omnia team up and running. Two more PocketPC's are just around the corner, in the face of the B7610 OmniaPRO and B7300 OmniaLITE. Looks like WinMo and Samsung are not gonna give up the business segment to Eseries and Berries without a fight.
