The Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 is a touch screen smartphone with full support of multimedia, internet and business features. The handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 and uses Samsung's TouchWiz 2.0 user interface and downloadable online widgets for a user-friendly experience.

The Omnia Lite runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional which includes a wide range of software, including a comprehensive multimedia player and a choice of web browsers, plus support for standard email clients and push email. Samsung have enhanced the user interface with its own TouchWiz software, which gives a consistent look-and-feel amongst high-end Samsung touchscreen phones. New applications are widely available for this platform, including a choice of personal navigation applications. Samsung say that the Omnia Lite should be upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.5 when it becomes available.

Despite the "Lite" tag, the B7300's specification are a small step down from the original Omnia announced a year ago, although it is some way behind the current crop of Omnia phones. Still, the B7300's capabilities will exceed the needs of most people.

Physically, the B7300 Omnia Lite measures 107 x 52 x 13mm and weighs in at 103 grams. The substantial 1500 mAh battery should provide a reasonable amount of talktime, although Samsung have not said what this is.
