The most exciting range of Windows phones due for release are the Omnia range from Samsung, Microsoft-powered devices that supplement the TouchWiz interface with a suite of great music, media and messaging applications.

The Samsung Omnia Lite is the most mid-range of these phones, a WinMo 6.1 device that is confirmed to be ready for the leap to the new 6.5 version, due for release on October 6th.

Thankfully, the B7300 Onmia Lite will be available a little bit earlier with a SIM-free release date of 30th September.

It shares much of the functionality of the original Samsung Omnia as well as the new breed like the Samsung Tocco Lite, coming equipped with a 3.15 megapixel camera, a 3″ TFT resistive touchscreen and a microSD slot up to 32GB.

Pay monthly Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 deals will follow in due course, just in time for the Windows upgrade.
