The Samsung Omnia 7 (also known as the SGH-i8700) is a slate smartphone which runs Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system (Not to be mistaken with Windows Mobile 6.5). It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 SoC clocked at 1 GHz, 4.0-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 480X800 and either 8GB or 16GB capacity of internal storage. The phone does not contain a microSD slot for extra storage. This particular phone is available in Europe and South Africa, instead of the Samsung Focus which is sold in USA. The Samsung Omnia 7 is supporting Windows Phone 7.5 also known as "Mango", as well as Internet Sharing over WiFi with the latest firmware update, albeit currently only on branded devices from operators who have enabled this feature.

Software Issues

Some users of the Omnia 7 along with the Samsung Focus had issues with upgrading to the March 2011 update and again with the NODO update. Samsung and Microsoft have since worked to deliver updates for the phones to resolve the upgrade problem.
