Tracy and Matt's Conclusion For the Samsung OmniaPro B7610:  So is the Samsung OmniaPro B7610 a decent device? Hell yeah. I found very few things I didn't like about it. Its a good all rounder with the added bonus of the slide out keyboard. Is it as good as the HTC Touch Pro2? I would say they are pretty much equal. The keyboard on the HTC TP2 is very slightly better but apart from that its a real close call. The camera on the Samsung is better than on the HTC so that may be a deciding factor.  Keyboard aside I think deciding which to get may come down to the user interface. If you like TouchWiz and its other options then go for the Samsung. If you prefer TouchFlo 3D on the HTC then that's the one to get. Read Full Review
