The Omnia from Samsung is a Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone, though you would hardly know it from first impressions. Windows Mobile is hidden away behind a finger-touch friendly front-end that tries to make it look a lot more snazzy than it is.
That touch interface adds some very consumer looking elements to Windows Mobile. For example, the main screen can be populated with widgets which you drag from a bar down the left-hand side of the phone. Widgets can tell you the time, list new emails, let you change profile and even, in a much more active way, pause the currently playing music track. You can even put shortcuts to your favourite contacts on this screen.
Samsung has tweaked many of the Windows Mobile applications to make them more finger friendly too, so that you hardly need to resort to the stylus which, unusually, doesn't fit inside the phone's casing but instead hangs on a lanyard.
