Samsung's new launches carried on with real aplomb at the Samsung Unpacked event, with the launch of three more smartphones in the Omnia family - the Omnia Pro B7610 and B7230, and B7300 Omnia Lite, all running Windows Mobile 6.1.

The B7610, known on the rumour mills as the Omnia Pro, features a slide out QWERTY keyboard and a 5MP camera with autofocus under a 3.5-inch WVGA AMOLED touch display.

There's a 3MP camera too, with autofocus, and multiple video playback including DivX and MPEG4.

You can once again expand this with microSD up to 32GB, and the 1500mAh battery nestles snugly in the 107 x 51.8 x 12.9mm chassis.

It also features a 3D multimedia player, push email, a-GPS, Wi-Fi and Microsoft Office Suite for working on the go.

All will update to Windows Mobile 6.5 when the browser becomes available so Samsung tells us, and we're just waiting for a price and release date to complement.
