My girlfriend has the omnia, only it's from tmobile and called the behold.

Anyway, damn solid phone. I would get one, but i'm getting the storm hands down when we switch from tmobile to verizon.

I messed around with the Storm and I was not a fan. I'm not an large fan of blackberry anyhow...

The Omnia apparently has a 50% return rate due to the complexity, but once you get it set up it's rather quick and easy to use. It's like the learning curve of a new computer. The optical mouse is a nice feature. I think I will be going the route of the Omnia. THe one downfall is that there is no 3.5mm jack for headsets without the add-on connector...

Did you jailbreak yours yet? There's a really sick gps nav app.

As for that samsung phone it's a piece of crap. My best friend has it and it feels like it's going to break every time I hold it.

yeah I heard good things about the Omnia, and don't forget to add the taxes to any plan. A $75 plan will easily become a $90 plan.

yeah, the gps has come in handy quite a few times for me too...especially when the wifey takes the car with the Garmin. What is this being able to check on traffic congestion that you speak of? :hsdunno:
