Whatever other features are present, it's the Windows Phone 7 operating system that steals the limelight here. It makes the Samsung Omnia 7 a revolutionary phone to use, and we love it. It's very simple, with overly large, finger-friendly touchscreen buttons, and there's no sign of the fiddly menus, sub-menus and cramped icons from older versions of Windows Mobile. There's a huge Super AMOLED scr...
