Going back to iPod Touch?

So talk me down here.

I was using an old cell phone with my Verizon wireless service and a 2nd gen iPod touch. The first week of June I switched over to an Omnia attempting to replace 2 units for 1.

I bought a couple of screen programs (wisbar and sbg2 i think) as well as a number of programs to use on my new Omnia.

My experience so far is that the Omnia sucks. It's slow, lethargic, has multiple steps to get to simple things. I then went back to my iPod 2G touch that I haven't used in a month and the simplicity and ease in how things worked was amazing. When using the Omnia I frequently have to try to tilt the screen to tap with a thumbnail to get something done - with the iPod touch - no problem.

I live in an area that only has Verizon as a workable cell phone service - so I can't switch to an iPhone.

So -- am i screwed? What am I missing? I've had at least a dozen handled devices in my live starting with a Newton 100 through multiple palms, Lifedrives, HP110's - at least 10 of em. The iPod Touch is the swiftest and easiest to use so far. I keep coming back to it. I'm beginning to hate the Omnia.

Someone talk me down - what am I missing?
