Samsung has been playing around with the "Upgrade" magic wand - the new Samsung B7330 OmniaPRO is an upgrade of the B7320 OmniaPRO. Also, the proud owners of the Windows Mobile side of the current Omnia lineup rejoice - you"re getting the update to WinMo 6.5.

The new Samsung B7330 OmniaPRO brings a slightly bigger, square-shaped screen with 320 x 320 resolution (B7320 OmniaPRO has a QVGA screen). The 3G capabilities have also been updated with the addition of HSUPA 2Mbps and faster HSDPA at 7.2Mbps (versus the 3.2 of the B7320).

The rest of the Omnia lineup will be re-launched, with the "new" devices running Windows Mobile 6.5 out of the box. Sounds like an excuse to throw a party, but it"s also a good way to promote your products.

The Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO is the premium device in the OmniaPRO series, with B7320 and B7330 serving as the mid-range. The upcoming Samsung B7300 OmniaLITE will be the entry-level Omnia device though don"t underestimate it.

The B7330 is coming in October along with the Samsung B7300 OmniaLITE and as for the update to Windows Mobile for current owners of an Omnia handset - Samsung was a little vague, saying just that it will be after the release of 6.5.
