I purchased my first Pocket PC in 2002, the Toshiba E330, my second in 2004, the Dell Axim v51, however my first WM Phone was the Palm Treo 700wx, which I still have and use. People knock the WM system, yet I was watching movies on my Dell Axim 4 years ago, something that everyone raves the iphone can do. The amount of applications for the WM OS was staggering as well and helped me in many ways and I had a lot of money invested in these software programs and so I was highly considering the Samsung Omnia, by far, from a hardware perspective, it kicks butt over the iphone, however that being said the one thing that has stopped in my tracks is the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Samsung really dropped the ball here. You see, I've had a Palm Treo 700wx for the last 2.5 years and have had to carry around an annoying adapter to listen to my music or plug into my car stereo. This has been annoying and I've lost it twice. I'm not sure why the phone manufacturers are coming out with there "own" connections, perhaps to make more money on the accessory? Samsung should have taken a lesson from Apple and placed a 3.5 mm jack in the phone as this is one of the reasons that Apple has such a large market share in the Mobile phone industry. Hence, I won't be purchasing the Omnia, but will wait for something better, and perhaps migrate to the rumored new iphone this June.

Hi everione,
thumbs up for the review, very usefull infos... covered pretty much everything... :)
I may have passed on something still... i wonder about something for the WiFi vx 3G web browsing...

I'm in canada, and Bell is proposing now that phone in a short while... is there a possibility to get the phone without data plan? in other words, inboard on the phone, is it possible to lock the usage of the 3G network and unlock it only when i plan to do so?

It is possible to do so on my blackberry so i wonder if i would be able to do the same...
(sorry, but i don't come here very ofter, please send me a copy of the answer at radius911@gmail.com tks)

I like the 5.0 camera part, and the touch screen options only, but I really could less about the other stuff, and the one thing that was a deal breaker for me was having to pay $30 more each month for the data plan, I had the phone for three weeks, did not like it and went back to my old phone !!!!

Thanks for all your reviews! I was about to go for the Omnia but think I will give it a miss. Can anyone suggest a phone with great organizer and camera? I was going for e71 but camera doesn't sound great??

The most I like about the Omnia is the web-surfing, you can open up a few pages at the same time. I don't think the Storm can do that.

I do have a question, can I access any applications while making a call? If so, how?

Well I have had virtually every type of PDA Phone you can think of out their on the market. Most of the reviews in here are of persons wanting more out of a phone. I will tell you the down fall to the Omnia is the Stylus. This does need to be internal like the Palm or the PPC Apache. The software is great the battery life I text allday everyday and surf the web and my battery stays good allday. If I dont surf and text my battery will last about 2 days. But come on people you are going to use your phone through out the day to make phone calls check emails and such. Seems people complain about the simple things rather then what the phone can actually do. If you want a crappy battery try the PPC Apache I had 6 batteries for that phone and would have to change it out like every 3 hours. So the omnia is a great phone from the software to the overall look of it. As far as comparing it to the Iphone I like mine better for several reasons. The iphone is overrated the battery comparision is about the same as the omnia depends on how many programs you have running and what you are using throughtout the day. So far so good on the omnia I have ppretty big hands and switching the key pad on the text portion is great. I would buy again if mine broke. Also you can buy a new battery off ebay for the Omnia for like 10 bucks. So the software is cheap and its a great phone.

Well i bought this phone just so i have a music player, well guess what, im satisfied. I know its not as good as the iphone but but it did a good job. The wifi, bluetoot gps, fm, ability to call and txt,,, blah blah blah is just the bonus i get from getting this phone. I'm a happy owner of omnia. Nuff said.
