Samsung makes Omnia Pro series phones official

Despite having a high profile launch this evening being simulcast around the globe, Samsung has also officially launched four new phones at a recent event in Singapore.

The first two are the most interesting, being the B7610 (also recently dubbed The Louvre and Omnia Pro) and the Blackberry-a-like B7320 (also known as the Jackie).

It appears that rather than bring out a single Omnia Pro handset, Samsung has decided to label a series under the name, so both these handsets appear to be just that.

The B7610 is much as we brought you earlier today, namely a slide-out QWERTY keypad and a 5.1MP camera with autofocus, not to mention the powerful 800MHz processor under the hood.

Samsung Jackie

The B7320 Jackie is a Blackberry-style handset with full QWERTY keyboard, widescreen display (although it doesn't look like a touchscreen or AMOLED) and a Windows Mobile 6.1 OS with skinning.

We know it has Wi-Fi, and clearly we'll be seeing some HSDPA ultra-fast 3G connectivity. Other than that, we're simply hoping we get some more details tonight, such as a release date and prices.

Also involved in the launch were the already announced Android-powered i7500 and the 12MP Pixon 12 (we can see how that name came about), although we're still no closer to getting any more UK information on these efforts.
