Remember the Samsung Omnia M, the Korean-company’s entry-level Windows Phone device? Last time we talked about it, we saw it at one Italian website and now it’s heading to the UK with Unlocked Mobiles taking pre-orders as we speak. The phone retailer is asking 249.98 GBP (about $391) for the unlocked phone, saying that shipments will start on August 27th. That’s pretty steep pricing for a smartphone as “capable” as Omnia Minuet as it is called on the site.
Specs wise, this particular Sammy Windows Phone comes with a 1GHz single-core processor, just 384MB of RAM, 5-megapixel camera, 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA screen, HSPA, Wi-Fi and 4GB of built-in memory. In other words, we’re talking about a phone that sits somewhere between the Nokia Lumia 610 and Lumia 710, both of which cost less to buy. Does Samsung thinks its brand is so powerful that users will pay such a premium? Or this is an offer for suckers only? In any case, you can check out the Omnia M(inuet) from this page at Unlocked Mobiles but while there please don’t spend your hard-earned cash; there are other, better phones out there…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
