But if you want to wait, the touch pro 2 should be out in the next two months!

alright this is how it goes, the black berry OS is pretty boring for me, its good for push emails and thats about it.
The touch pro is a great phone, best one on verizon IMO, but if you dont want the bulk and dont need a keyboard, the omnia is still a good phone.

I know exactly where you are coming from, i bought a blackberry storm on the day they release, expecting an awesome phone, well i went through 3 in two weeks and that was it, slow as hell, screen click was nice but it broke so easily, hated the fact you couldnt customize very much on it. The the touch pro caught my eye! i couldnt wait to get one, i wish i would have bought a sprint touch pro and ported it too verizon now that i know its possible, but you cannot go wrong with the touch pro. Especially if you like to tweak, customize and show off your awesome phone

well from what i remember my touch pro is a lot smoother than the blackberry. Once you get it customized tweaked and flashed, it will run like a pro! lol even when its not fully tweaked i love it.
I love windows mobile, i dont think i could ever switch.
