hey guys it's bran the minimun from pocket now calm and this is a look at the hardware on the samsung omnia pro be 7610 an easy way to think about this device is like an omnia two but with the slide out keyboard so those of you that like the omnia too because of the AMOLED screen and the interface will especially like this device because this adds a slide-out keyboard then positions it well with the HTC touch pro2 so let's talk specs for a minute before we actually look at the hardware the device is running in the 800 megahertz processor which is faster than the touch pro 2 is 528 megahertz processor it has 256 megabytes of ram 512 megabytes of rom but you can expand that with microsd it also has an FM radio it ad has divx certification which is cool Wi-Fi and bluetooth of course it has a gps FM radio and some other goodies like TV out and it has a proximity sensor things that will cover in the rest of this video so let's take a look at the hardware of the device it looks so quite a bit different than the omnia two but if you actually look down here these bottom buttons you you kind of get that omnia too reminiscent feel the screen is 3.5 inches diagonal which is a little bit smaller than the touch pro 2 is actually the same size as the iphone the resolution is wvga so that's 800 down and 480 across let's zoom in to the top a little bit and see what we have up here this is where you'll find the light sensor the proximity sensor and the front-facing video camera if your country supports it the flush screen the touch screen is flush and it's resistive not capacitive but of course the only capacitive touch when his mobile device out there right now is the hd2 going down here we only have two buttons call end and call starting if you tap and hold this button it will turn off the device here is a nice program programmable hardware key which is very convenient because you can have an open email or internet or anything that you want a lot of newer windows mobile devices don't have the program will hardware keys like the older devices did and we really missed that I should note that this device is a quad-band GSM phone and dual band for UMTS you will not be able to get 3g in the US although this device is not really intended for the US it's intended for Europe but we find it strange that the omnia two did support us 3g and yet the omnia pro be 7610 does not very strange we're wondering if it's coming to the u.s. in May it may not we're not sure yet we haven't heard any rumors will let you know if we do so let's go to the side and see what we have here let's zoom in a little bit closer so here's a volume rocker and we also have a W&L button which stands for work and life the idea is that you can switch modes between a works home screen and a life home screen not sure the concept really makes that much sense but perhaps if you're a professional and you like to really separate your your work life and your home life by having email on one and weather on the other or something like that then maybe it makes sense going over to the right we have the lanyard loop on the bottom we have nothing but a microphone and also a little fingernail slit to put your finger in to open up the back battery cover on the other side we have a camera button a dual action camera button for the 5 megapixel camera over here is a lock button which will turn on and off the device from standby and here's a soft reset hold nicely placed we have a collapsible stylist although it collapses a few too many times it's somewhat flimsy stylists and it's interesting to see that the omnia be 76 10 includes the stylist or is the omnia two had no stylus unless you wanted it to dangle from your phone going up to the top we have some ports up here we have over here micro SD for charging and syncing and to the right of that we've 3.5 millimeter for audio which is good and let's flip over to the back if you saw the unboxing you saw this fantastic back battery covering and it's kind of a glossy red shiny sort of like a candy apple red coating actually and if you kind of move it in the light you can see these lines appear they're very nice so up here we have a 5 megapixel camera with a flash which is nice and down here is the speaker let's take off the back battery cover and see what we have underneath of that solar here we have the 1500 milliamp hour battery the sim card behind that and you put the micro SD card up here unfortunately it's behind the battery cover the back battery cover is completely plastic I've been spoiled recently by the metal backing of the HTC hd2 in fact the most of the materials used on the omnia pro are plastic so it feels a little bit cheap in hand it has enough weight to where it feels substantial and it doesn't feel like it's going to break if you use it let's take a look at the slide out keyboard which is spring assisted so far the keyboard has been fantastic it's the same width as the HTC touch pro2 and because there are fewer keys on on the keyboard panel all of the keys are a little bit bigger and so if you look closely they're raised ever so slightly there they're close to being flat but they have just enough depth to them to where you can feel for them when you're typing you get no dedicated number row at the top these are the numbers are kind of embedded into the letter so if you want to get to a three f to press off and three not that big of a deal so a pretty nice keyword we have the d-pad down here which is useful if you're trying to get around without having to move your thumbs up to touch the screen like so so that was a look at the hardware on the omnia pro be 7610 in hand it feels a lot smaller than the touch pro 2 probably because it's not as tall wide and it's a little smaller in terms of depth that said it feels a little lower quality because i think the materials used are mostly plastic versus other devices which have kind of a combination of materials some some metal and some plastic and a little bit of different kind of textures to make it feel higher-quality the omnia two really doesn't have that it's just one big fingerprint fingerprint magnet all over the device coming up soon we're going to take a look at the interface on the omnia pro be 7610 be sure to follow us on twitter to know exactly when the next video hits twitter.com slash pocket
