Samsung Omnia Pro to be the Louvre B7610?

We're actually surprised we didn't make the connection earlier, but word on the street today is the the rumored Samsung Omnia Pro will actually be a renamed Louvre B7610, a set that's been popping up a lot lately. Makes sense -- the Louvre's 3.5-inch WVGA AMOLED screen, 800MHz processor, and 5.1 megapixel camera match up nicely with the Omnia line. It's running Windows Mobile 6.1 right now, but we wouldn't be too surprised if the rumored August release date is held back to September or October to coincide with WinMo 6.5. One more pic after the break, couple more at the read links.

All WinMo needs now in the hardware is capacitive touchscreens.

Hopefully they'll be supported in WinMo7 if ZuneHD has anything to do with it.

There is certainly a lot of info floating around on the Omnia II B7610 and for good reason. I am not sure if this screen size is the same as the HTC HD (euro only right now) but this will really open a lot of options for power users as well as people that are into multi-media too. Should be a lot of fun to check this out.

IMHO Samsung phones are better quality, use better processors, and have more features than HTC Windows Mobile phones (for example, 3d acceleration, hardware video and audio codecs, DLNA, amoled screens, I'm sure there's more...).
Problem is most of the new ones coming out probably won't have full US versions for quite some time, if at all.
If you think your windows mobile phone is slow, you haven't used one made by samsung.
They might look very similar to HTC's - but once you use one, the choice is obvious.
HTC seems to keep sticking with the garbage qualcomm processors while samsung steps up their game and speeds things up.
I am not a fan of the whole widget thing but they are constantly working to improve their UI and make their phones as fast as possible -- something HTC is NOT doing.
