I have the omnia, and my girlfriend has the latest iphone (3gs). I have used both alot, and am familiar with the functionality and use ability of both devices. As stated several times on this thread they are similar, but very different. There is no better device, just personal opinions as to which is better.

I am an IT professional so my personal preference is the omnia, because i like to play with things and tweak them, and it has some capabilities i enjoy which the iphone lacks (ability to save any document, download anything, put anything on the device even if it does not recognize the file, customize things, edit registry, no need for itunes, transfer via bluetooth, wireless tethering etc).

That being said, the iphone has several advantages over windows mobile. For one the user interface is much more intuitive and easier to use (im talking beyond comparison), iphone does not need to be tweaked for anything and seems to run fast and smooth all the time (never gone more than 2 days on WM without opening task manager at an inconvenient time), the apps from the app store always run flawlessly and the touch screen on the iphone is way better (captive... resistive is an old technology that will soon be obsolete). Graphics rendering is also faster and better

To sum things up, when im going to work, or want to tweak things i reach for the omnia... when i am at home, want to relax or want to surf the internet, i find myself almost always reaching for the iphone. Just because the omnia does everything the iphone does, does not mean it does everything well. The iphone is simply more pleasurable to use.

As for your question on how many browsers the iphone can run, i have never had to look... safari is easily the best mobile browser i have used with a touch screen interface, hands down.

As for your other questions you should know the answers by now, but i will answer them for you. Without jailbreaking the iphone, no over clocking, no shells, no sd support, camera is 3.2mp and the 5.0 on the omnia is better (but neither will replace a real digital camera), cant customize rom, you can however open doc, xls, ppt, pdf and many other documents.
