I think the diamond has pretty well replaced it, though. I wish the jade would have been released with cdma.
Here are my perfect specs for the touch2...
cdma and gsm versions with the same hardware (I'm on alltel, go figure)
wifi
3" - 3.2" 480x800 (I'm getting tired of seeing these 4" screens, I think the overall size of the omnia is about perfect)
snapdragon (I noticed the diamond was noticeably slow with some vga games)
3mp - 5mp camera with autofocus and led (the omnia really jumped my expectations for cell cameras)
extusb (the omnia had the standard samsung proprietary connector)
3.5mm headphone jack
attached stylus (the omnia had one but it was separate)
all day battery (the omnia would commonly be dead before I got home from work, the touch and diamond have great battery life)
buttons (power on the top, volume on left-top, camera on right-bottom, two small buttons on the front-top, and a real 5-way on front-bottom, no soft-buttons all hard clicky buttons)
resistive screen (I don't care how cool multitouch is windows mobile just isn't finger-friendly enough, if we could get away from little checkboxes and bars then capacitive and no stylus would work better)
bluetooth
microsdhc
no hardware keyboard (that's what makes it a "touch")
I think that's about it. I would buy that phone in a heartbeat. When you look at it, most of what I want is on the touch that we already love. It just needs a proper refresh. Those weren't in order of importance, but when I thought about them.
To me, one of the biggest things that sets the touch apart from the new phones is the real 5-way buttons. That is something that phones seem to be loosing, and it's a real turn-off. Of course, I just bought the msi bgp100 (bluetooth gamepad for cellphones), so it may not be that big of a deal. I'd much rather be able to hold the phone, sideways, in my hands and play, though.
