So far the Omnia meets all your looking for, I would think ROMs are in the future, but I can't promise (the i900's have many custom ROMs, so that is hopeful).
The two chefs that have an omnia (nex and i) bricked at least 3 omnia's trying to build a rom from the stock rom on the omnia. It wont work at this point in time, and we cant be sure that we will have a working iteration of a kitchen when samsung/ vzw release the gps fix rom, but i hope thats all it takes. IMO it is a problem with the bootloader and not having a proper RUU for the 910 at the moment. We tried using the RUU for the i900 and it did flash, but never really got out of bootloader mode. Shipped/ official release rom should fix this issue for us.

I say go ahead and get it, it is an amazing phone and IMO the best phone in VZW lineup, i just wish it had a hardware keyboard.

Free tethering has already been worked out, just install internet sharing. and wmwifi-router if it interests you. GPS will be unlocked with stock update, so that should be all you need right?
