Samsung Omnia 7 first hands-on!

Samsung’s Omnia 7, ladies and gents. The only Super AMOLED in Microsoft’s launch Windows Phone 7 stable, the Omnia 7 looks appropriately vibrant and richly saturated. To be perfectly fair, we didn’t note a major advantage in using its display relative to the other WP7 devices, but that’s more a mark of distinction on the other phones on show here. The hardware really is looking polished to perfection. The Omnia 7 isn’t really breaking with that trend, with a remarkably lightweight body that combines straight lines with a nicely curved back that sits well in the hand. The power/lock button is curiously positioned on the side of the device, but all points of input seemed to perform very nicely once you know where they are. The depressed Windows key is basically identical to the iPhone’s, dare we say it, iconic home button. As to performance, we’ve nothing to say that we haven’t said about the other WP7 launch devices, it’s blindingly, ridiculously, delightfully quick.
