Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 cons:

- Slightly old-fashioned
- Average sound quality
- Music and video player are basic
- No flash for the camera
The design:
Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 measures 114.9 x 59 x 10.8 mm and weighs 107 g. The front of the cell phone features the 2.6-inch screen, D-pad and the full QWERTY keyboard. Around the D-pad you will find send and end keys as well as some context sensitive keys which make going through the menus quite fast. The keys on the keypad a responsive and raised in such a way as to make typing easier and it really help. Yet, as with all full QWERTY phones people with larger hands and fingers may find it difficult to use the Samsung OmniaPRO B7330. The left side of the cell phone features the volume rocker and the USB charge/data port, whereas the right side houses the camera shutter key and the microSD memory card slot.
Performance:
The Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 runs the Windows 6.5 Mobile so it has no touchscreen capability, but that’s hardly surprising since it’s a full QWERTY mobile phone. The interface is quite useable and pleasant. On the bottom of the display is the usual Windows menu and right above it plenty of shortcuts to frequently used services and applications. All aspects of the everyday cell phone use are covered very well and so writing messages, email, making phone calls and browsing the Internet is easy and fast.
Multimedia:
The Samsung OmniaPRO B7330 has no standard 3.5mm audio jack and the music player is only basic not to mention the audio quality which is below average. So if you are looking for a phone dealing with music have a look at the Sony Ericsson Yari, or the Nokia N97 mini.
The built-in 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera lacks flash so taking photos in dark light is out of the question. However, the image processing is quite surprising and low light photos may come out not that bad. At least when it comes to lighting since the camera in the Samsung OmniPaRO B7330 lacks detail and has poor noise performance.
The video recording capability is better than the still photos quality. The audio and video quality is about average for this range of phones and the files are recorded as .wmv.
