When you think of fashion mobile phones, the one thing that comes to mind is a slim and svelte handset. Not to some people or mobile phone makers. Slim is out, fat is in. Korean mobile phone giant Samsung and the Italian haute couture house of Giorgio Armani have teamed to dress-up the bulky Omni Pro B7210 into a fashion powerhouse that is both humongous and heavy - the Samsung Giorgio Armani (B7620).

Either that or you see a plump lady parading the catwalk with extra-large Armani dress. But setting the size the heft aside, there's no let up to the high tech wizardry that Samsung as poured into both the Omnia Pro and the B7620 Armani models.
Remarkable Upgrades
Anyone who uses the Omnia Pro B7610 smartphone will immediately recognize its Armani cousin as its mirror clone dressed up to look arguably better. Both are housed in a full-QWERTY slider touchscreen form with a 3.5" AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display and a slide-out tactile keyboard. What immediately distinguishes the Armani model apart form its gold body is the titling display as it gets fully slid out, facilitating typing on the keyboard or watching a video. In addition, the Armani handset gets a more generous 8 GB of internal memory, up from the 1GB in the more pedestrian Omnia Pro.

It has the same 3.5" AMOLED resistive touchscreen with Wide-VGA resolution that could support 16million colors but its Windows Mobile 6.2 can only support 64k. An accelerometer is standard for auto rotate between portrait and landscape display with a turn-face-down action to cancel functions or mute sounds.
There's the popular Samsung TouchWiz 2.0 UI sitting on the OS and featuring a novel Work & Leisure mode key that can toggle between your personal and corporate identities for a dual homescreen customization. Both handsets sport a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, dual LED flash and VGA video recording at 30 fps. Wireless data connectivity is supported by Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802/11 b/g. There's microUSB, Bluetooth A2DP support, stereo FM radio with RDS, GPS/A-GPS receiver and TV out.
