I agree that the Omnia 2 will be somewhat limited by carrier exclusivity, if it wasn't for that I think it would be a strong competitor. The people that want a physical keyboard are obviously gonna be turned off by this phone, I actually prefer the devices without the keyboard though and I'm already on Verizon so I'll be deciding between the Whitestone (Diamond 2) and the Omnia 2. Feature wise, the Omnia 2 is seems to be the better phone, but it's still a hard decision. I'm not too excited about having a stylus hanging from the side of the phone like some dangly mutation. The updates to 6.5 do at least make everything more finger friendly, so maybe I can live without a stylus. The one thing that REALLY keeps pulling me back to the HTC phones though is developer support, but it may not be enough this time.
