i have both omnia n xperia and i must say,omnia kick xperia's ass big time...why u ask?? here's why...
*note:comparison are based on out of box experience.
1)accelerometer based applications + games rules,
2)camera rules,camera features like face detection,smile detection,mutiple scenery mode,lanscape mode,business card scanner,5mp still can zoom in(xperia 3mp but cannot zoom,only can zoom at 2mp settings & below)
3)samsung provide on going official firmware update
4)"end user" provide on going custom firmware update
5)omnia code like *#0002*28346# allow volume cuztomisation.So far there's no such code for xperia volume hack yet.but i could be wrong
6)built in 8gb or 16gb memory.(dun even need a micro sd card anymore)
7)omnia widget is far more useful compare to xperia panel(especially the stupid fish panel)
8)Taking pics with xperia is a pain!! camera shutter speed is too slow.really need a super steady hand to take decent pics or else pics will blurr!!

teeboy, 30 Jan 2009Hi again, Can the omnia be installed with flash lite 3 so that you can view you tube vids ... morei can answer a few of your questions, you can install flashlite 3 but it breaks the widgets as they need flashlite 2 to run, so if you dont use wigets then it will be fine. not sure of the latest rom on the samsung site, but im on AI2 which is january 2009 version 2. this is available from modaco (omnia thread) also there are custom roms with md2 or spb etc. or if your up to the challenge instructions on how to create your own rom!!!

Tan, 28 Jan 2009Hi..anybody has this issue? I try to charge my Omnia and when i on the phone and charge..no ef... moreSounds like something is broken. I don't know if this problem is particularly common among Omnias but it is certainly not unheard of among mobiles in general. I get at least one phone like this in my store every few weeks.
Most likely it is the battery, which is covered by six months' worth of warranty, but it could also be a hardware issue with the phone. Either way, take the phone back to the place of purchase (or alternatively contact the manufacturer) and they should arrange an exchange or repair.

mazen, 29 Jan 2009Dear Bob
Is ROM update could cause failure to the mobile or hanging the device.Hi Mazen,
No my friend it wont harm ur phone in any way. Its just a piece of Software that runs ur Handset. As long as you download the ROM from reliable site.. like the one from Samsung, and select the correct version ... you wont have any issues.
You can update ROM as many time as you want. Its just like you install various softwares on ur PC.
Go again and update without any doubts.
