I paid full retail for mine on Sprint, because my contract wasn't up and I didn't want to extend it or change plans.

I don't think I would be as happy paying full retail for the Verizon version, but it is an awesome phone.

I think the Sammy "Omnia is a great phone, but all you have to do is look at the difference in the screen resolution on the TP and your hooked. The only thing I don't like about the phone is the battery life (thinking about bricking it with a mugen 3000mah battery).

Tell him to get it. It's a good upgrade from the xv6800.
