What phone is this and is it already on the market?

 

[Winterfang]

Samsung Omnia 7 and yes.

Is basically a square focus, don't sweat it. =)

That may be, but the Omnia 7 is far prettier.

Sure Is!

Yes, it's the Omnia 7 and it's a beauty! I love it so far, love the Focus as well. So far, so good. If I had to say there is a negative for this phone, it's the storage space. But it's not really a problem for me, cause I use the ZuneHD for my music & working out.

None of the AT&T WP7 phones are really pretty, hardware wise. The OS is super sexy, but when you turn off the screen, and look at the hardware... none of them are stunning.

When I saw this picture of the Omnia 7 (it being the first picture I'd seen of the phone) it made me say "wow."

 

[TheWeeBear]

That's the only thing i can fault about the Omnia 7, the 8GB onboard storage isn't enought for a lot of people, but like Apoc this doesn't affect me as i don't use it for loads of Music storage.

I can honestly say hand on heart it's the sexiest and so far the best phone i've ever had and i've had a few.

The nicest looking phone I've ever seen running WP7, was the Asus phone we saw in videos like this (below), that hasn't been seen again.

Nah, I still think the Omnia has a nicer looking bottom. (Snigger)

I just love that brushed aluminum look on the Asus.

Hmmmm it doesn't float my boat, but hey we can't all like the same phones 3migo.

Wonder what happened to Asus's plans for it ? (Scratches Head)

 

[3migo]

I've been wondering that too. It looked like they had put a lot of work into that floor model, and nothing ever became of it.

Some people are saying that they turned the plans for that phone, into the Asus "Padfone."

 

[Winterfang]

Asus said that is waiting until WP7 catches up. That phone was never intended for commercial use...(it's so pretty =( )

Which means they won't ever come out with the phone unless WP7 surpasses Android.

Though it is basically a Focus, the aluminium back is the thing i really like about it!

Oh and another thing, this phone is slippery!!! Had no plans on getting anything of case, but I had to, due to being so slick & thin! I got the Case-Mate, cause it didn't really have that bulky look or feel to it, but gives the phone some grip to hold it easily

Same reason I put a case on my iPhone. Without it, my phone would just slip out of my pocket randomly.

The LG optimus 7 is also extremely slippery. It's because of the metal back.
