Samsung B7320 is not worth being a smartphone. Don’t buy this. If you’re short for budget and just want to have a cheap business phone, dont buy this, it will make your life texting and calling life, harder.

Hangs all the time and if you use it for let’s say, 7-8 months, your apps will suddenly disapper and SMS will not work anymore.

I still have store warranty though, but everytime they update or reformat my phone. The main problem keeps coming back. OS problem maybe..

What i appreciate about the phone is that it looks sharp and professional. Other than that, it sucks.

srnouri · 16 years ago

I have one but i don’t know how can i install arabizer for arabic font support???

Robin Lim · 16 years ago

Your are welcome hutch21…

What I have installed on mine:

Google Maps
Facebook for Windows (which is different from the default link on the phone which simply uses the Internet Explorer)
Skyfire browser (a must since IE sucks)

Not much, but all my needs are met by these apps (for now)…

kayechi · 16 years ago

is it released yet? where can i buy this phone?

hutch21 · 16 years ago

thanks for helping, i have managed to do what you have instructed me, and now im in need of useful apps which i can install on my phone, seems that there are only few apps available on google….

Robin Lim · 16 years ago

You can also download Nodate here:

You can enable and disable 3G, allowing you to use Wife without fear of automatically connecting to 3G when the WiFi connection stalls and the B7320 decides to connect you via 3G without asking you. This cab be done using an app called Nodata. You can Google it, or leave an email address here and will send it to you. If you will leave your email address here, I suggest you create a new one.

hutch21 · 16 years ago

i got the samsung b7320 and actually it is a good smartphone, id rather have this than the bb curve. the only thing that pisses me off is that i cant make the wifi work, and it automatically connects through 3g which is very expensive, i bought the phone to use the wif capability and not to pay for the 3g services… sir yuga please help naman if you know how to sort this out…anyone please help..

Juwonlo ibigbami · 16 years ago

Please, i want to know, if these windows powered samsong phones support java.

It sounds a bit ridiculous, but let me explain. For over two years now I have been using my Nokia E61i a my cellular phone. Other than being a phone, its most important feature to me was the calendar and to-do list. Nokia PCSuite software allows me to do a simple back-up of my calendar entries and contacts, synchronize my calendar entries and contacts with Nokia’s own calendar and contacts software or Windows Vista Calendar and Contacts. Basically it gave me three different ways of backing up the date on my Nokia E61i to my laptop.

Nokia PCSuite also allows you to sync your mobile phone data with Microsoft Outlook, but having migrated to OpenOffice.org for my word processing and spreadsheet needs, I do not have a copy of MS Office or MS Outlook on my computer.

When I got a replacement phone for my Nokia E61i, I purchased a Samsung B7320 Omnia Pro which is a Windows Mobile 6.1 based smart phone. I was expecting it to be able to sync with Windows Vista Calendar and Contacts since it was advertised as having:

Windows Mobile 6.1
– Windows Mobile 6.1 is a business tailored software that offers a familiar OS on the mobile
– seamless compatibility from mobile to PC

Unfortunately, the included software for syncing, Windows Mobile Device Software needs to have MS Outlook installed to work. I tried Samsung’s own proprietary Samsung New PC Studio, but unfortunately, the Samsung Utility is also dependent on MS Outlook.

Now, after a week of use, I can say I love my Samsung B7320. The only glitch is the failure to include a free copy of MS Outlook in the package. My old HTC Smart Amazing Phone from 6 or so years ago have a copy bundled with it.

For now I have a sixty-day demo of MS Outlook (which after registration gave me 100 days… cool). I hope Samsung can may its own software work independently of MS Outlook before my demo runs out. Having to get a copy of MS Office with MS Outlook will pretty much make the cost of this phone prohibitive.

Without a bundled copy of MS Outlook, the Samsung B7320 is not Windows compatible, but rather MS Office Compatible in my opinion.

hey guys. meron na ba? where? wala pang email confirmation yung reservation for Omnia II ng Samsung Philippines.

Tim · 17 years ago

some sites said that Omnia 2 will be released this Aug 26 in the market and i hope its true, by the way Omnia Jet is already out and it’s cheaper if you go to greenhills mall, it’s around 19K to 22K i hope Omnia 2 will coast only 25K to 30K

The Samsung 7320 is available right 8/16/2009 now in Bangkok for approx US $350 dollars. The phone I am interested in is the Samsung 7610 which looks slide the Omni II but has a full slide out QWERTY keyboard.
7610 due out the last quarter of 2009.

Nice!! Like the Samsung Omnia Pro B7320!!

Raven · 17 years ago

0mnia, 0mnia 2, 0mniaHD, 0mnia Lite, 0mnia pr0 B7610, 0mnia pr0 B 7320…

Very c0nfusing!

irispen · 17 years ago

magkaiba ang jet sa omnia2..

anyway, I emailed them last 2 weeks, sabi around 30k daw yung 8gb. I really dont know, magulo ang Samsung Philippines eh!!

nagtanong din ako dati sa OmniaHD kung kailan lalabas sabi June daw! eh hanggang ngayon wala pa.. nanghuhula lang ata yung mga YUN! hahaha

for info: OmniaHD is different from omnia2!
OmniaHD is Symbian (like nokias) and Omnia2 is Windows Mobile..

Anyway, ayaw ko na sa Samsung!
I currently waiting for HTC HERO! ang tagal ilabas! wah!

petken · 17 years ago

samsung jet is like a cheaper version of omnia 2… but have limited apps… I also saw the samsung jet all over cyberzone sm manila for 20K pesos…

cojo · 17 years ago

the one w/ the hexagonal button in the middle is the samsung jet/Samsung Omina II i8000.i saw one at robinson’s pioneer..in memo express if im not mistaken.the selling price was 22k.

petken · 17 years ago

Is it true na 65K lang yung colors ng Omnia II dahil sa Windows Mobile Limit? Nakita ko kc sa mga forums na 16million colors and display niya pero dahil may limit ang windows mobile useless daw.

petken · 17 years ago

I just made a reservation for the samsung omnia 2. Well I’m guessing that it would cost lower than omnia hd hopefully 30K pesos or even lower.

BarracknRolla · 17 years ago

@ goosebumps

hi,the Omnia 2 (GT-i8000) like Omnia 1 (SGH-i900)will run with Windows Mobile 6.1, but can be upgraded to WinMobile 6.5 maybe later this year.

Omnia HD’s official name is GT-I8910HD running on Symbian S60 5.0, they want to keep the OMNIA name of Samsung handphones running on WM.

…there’s also an OMNIA PRO soon to be released.

Nino Natividad · 17 years ago

Whoa! cool phone! How much would it probably cost?

Ninin

revx · 17 years ago

just made a reservation kahit I cannot afford… Heheh I am taking chance na i-email nila yung price. Yuga any price predictions?

ron · 17 years ago

show up the price please!

zEr0-IcE · 17 years ago

OMG.. I just placed a reservation! I’ve been waiting for Omnia II to come out!

neal · 17 years ago

will this be available for everyone from august 17 or just to those who had made reservation?
:(

Mike · 17 years ago

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve been waiting for the Omnia to come!

Darren · 17 years ago

I like AMOLED screen ~ thumbs up!!!

william · 17 years ago

i thought the qwerty phone looked like a blackberry device.

petken · 17 years ago

does omnia II capture video in 16:9 format like the 5800 and N97? does skyfire work with it?

jdGONEMAD · 17 years ago

ok lang siguro magpareserve na. wala naman reservation fee eh. kung mejo pricey eh pwede naman ipa-cancel ang reservation.

goosebumps · 17 years ago

iba pa ba ang Omnia II sa Omnia HD?

Raven · 17 years ago

Winm0!? I w0uld prefer 0mniaHD.

justine · 17 years ago

I thought omnia 2 will be release at the same time as omnia hd or i9810

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 17 years ago

@petken – prices aren’t final until a few weeks before they are released. this is mostly due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

petken · 17 years ago

How can we be able to decide if we would reserve if there is still no SRP? I think it is ridiculous to reserve without it. C’mon samsung.

petken · 17 years ago

Prices?
