Omnia Pro B7610 Web Browsing Demo

Posted by chippy in Testing, Video on October 2nd, 2009

Beware! I’m very critical of my mobile web browsing experiences.

Having said that, I think the browser quality and speed on the Omnia Pro B7610 is good for a smartphone when used for ‘consumption.’ It’s not up to the speed and quality of an iPhone 3GS but similar in speed to the iPhone 3G which many will be familiar with. Most people are going to be more than happy with this although (and here’s my fastidious nature creeping in) it’s far from a full web experience. Javascript-heavy pages are unusable (Full Google Reader and Meebo shown in the video) and if you want a smooth flash experience you’re out of luck.

Omnia Pro B7610. Video 1 – Hardware Overview

Posted by chippy in Video on September 30th, 2009

Rather than do one huge video I’ve decided to split it up into manageable pieces. Today I’m posting the first of the videos which gives you an overview of the hardware along with some of my thoughts from the first weeks usage. I hope it gives you some answers and thoughts. If it brings up new questions, please add them to the comments and I’ll try and address them either here or in a separate ‘user questions’ post.

This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is required to view the video.

For those looking for my first impressions of the device, I’ve started to add them into a new post in the forum.

Omnia Pro Test Videos

Posted by chippy in Video on September 17th, 2009

The Omnia Pro B7610 has VGA (640×480) video cam and a nice built-in video editor where you can sequence together clips and images with text, fades and wipe. Putting together the clip below was relatively easy, even as a first-time user. Trying to upload that to YouTube however was a royal pain in the arse. The ‘communities’ feature on the phone which links some of the applications to online services is missing any support for video. Trying to upload through Opera 9.5 was a frustrating and slow experience that I eventually aborted in favor of using a real computer.
